The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — Aaron, Levites — and what happens in the verse to Levites, service, LORD, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Onkelos and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 36 chapters of Numbers on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וְהֵנִיף֩ אַהֲרֹ֨ן אֶת־הַלְוִיִּ֤ם תְּנוּפָה֙ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה מֵאֵ֖ת בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְהָי֕וּ לַעֲבֹ֖ד אֶת־עֲבֹדַ֥ת יְהוָֽה׃ [And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for a wave-offering from the children of Israel, that they may be to do the service of the LORD.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.360/) ## The tree {#tree} Right to left, as the Hebrew is read; a prefix or suffix is a word of its own, and a line under the words joins those written as one. Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:NUM:345 # text = וְהֵנִיף֩ אַהֲרֹ֨ן אֶת־הַלְוִיִּ֤ם תְּנוּפָה֙ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה מֵאֵ֖ת בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְהָי֕וּ לַעֲבֹ֖ד אֶת־עֲבֹדַ֥ת יְהוָֽה׃ # verse = NUM.8.11 1-2 וְהֵנִיף֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_8:11!1|MId=o040080110011|Strong=2050b 2 הֵנִיף֩ נוּף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.wave|Ref=NUM_8:11!1|MId=o040080110012|Strong=5130|Frame=AA:040080110021;A0:040080110042;|Type=weqatal 3 אַהֲרֹ֨ן אַהֲרֹן PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Aaron|Ref=NUM_8:11!2|MId=o040080110021|Strong=0175 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_8:11!3|MId=o040080110031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 הַלְוִיִּ֤ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_8:11!4|MId=o040080110041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 לְוִיִּ֤ם לֵוִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obj _ Gloss=Levites|Ref=NUM_8:11!4|MId=o040080110042|Strong=3881|Type=gentilic 7 תְּנוּפָה֙ תְּנוּפָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 xcomp _ Gloss=a.wave-offering|Ref=NUM_8:11!5|MId=o040080110051|Strong=8573 8-9 לִפְנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=NUM_8:11!6|MId=o040080110061|Strong=3807a 9 פְנֵ֣י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_8:11!6|MId=o040080110062|Strong=6440 10 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_8:11!7|MId=o040080110071|Strong=3068 11-12 מֵאֵ֖ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=NUM_8:11!8|MId=o040080110081|Strong=4480 12 אֵ֖ת אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=NUM_8:11!8|MId=o040080110082|Strong=0854 13 בְּנֵ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=NUM_8:11!9|MId=o040080110091|Strong=1121 14 יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=NUM_8:11!10|MId=o040080110101|Strong=3478 15-16 וְהָי֕וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_8:11!11|MId=o040080110111|Strong=2050b 16 הָי֕וּ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 18 cop _ Gloss=they.will.be|Ref=NUM_8:11!11|MId=o040080110112|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:040080110042;|Type=weqatal 17-18 לַעֲבֹ֖ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_8:11!12|MId=o040080110121|Strong=3807a 18 עֲבֹ֖ד עָבַד VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 conj _ Gloss=serve|Ref=NUM_8:11!12|MId=o040080110122|Strong=5647|Frame=A0:040080110042;A1:040080110141;|Type=infinitive_construct 19 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_8:11!13|MId=o040080110131|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 20 עֲבֹדַ֥ת עֲבֹדָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=the.service|Ref=NUM_8:11!14|MId=o040080110141|Strong=5656 21 יְהוָֽה יהוה PROPN _ _ 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=NUM_8:11!15|MId=o040080110151|Strong=3068|SpaceAfter=No 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=NUM_8:11!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הֵנִיף *he will wave* | weqatal · hiphil | לְוִיִּם *Levites* | | | אַהֲרֹן *Aaron* | | הָיוּ *they will be* | weqatal · qal | לְוִיִּם *Levites* | | | | | עֲבֹד *serve* | infinitive construct · qal | לְוִיִּם *Levites* | עֲבֹדַת *the service* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
