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 — Levites, LORD — and what happens in the verse to service, tent, Moses, 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. וְאַחֲרֵי־כֵ֞ן בָּ֣אוּ הַלְוִיִּ֗ם לַעֲבֹ֤ד אֶת־עֲבֹֽדָתָם֙ בְּאֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֔ד לִפְנֵ֥י אַהֲרֹ֖ן וְלִפְנֵ֣י בָנָ֑יו כַּאֲשֶׁר֩ צִוָּ֨ה יְהוָ֤ה אֶת־מֹשֶׁה֙ עַל־הַלְוִיִּ֔ם כֵּ֖ן עָשׂ֥וּ לָהֶֽם׃ס [And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tent of meeting before Aaron, and before his sons; as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.371/) ## 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:356 # text = וְאַחֲרֵי־כֵ֞ן בָּ֣אוּ הַלְוִיִּ֗ם לַעֲבֹ֤ד אֶת־עֲבֹֽדָתָם֙ בְּאֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֔ד לִפְנֵ֥י אַהֲרֹ֖ן וְלִפְנֵ֣י בָנָ֑יו כַּאֲשֶׁר֩ צִוָּ֨ה יְהוָ֤ה אֶת־מֹשֶׁה֙ עַל־הַלְוִיִּ֔ם כֵּ֖ן עָשׂ֥וּ לָהֶֽם׃ס # verse = NUM.8.22 1-2 וְאַחֲרֵי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_8:22!1|MId=o040080220011|Strong=2050b 2 אַחֲרֵי־ אַחַר ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=NUM_8:22!1|MId=o040080220012|Strong=0310 3 כֵ֞ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 4 obl _ Gloss=thus|Ref=NUM_8:22!2|MId=o040080220021|Strong=3651 4 בָּ֣אוּ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.went|Ref=NUM_8:22!3|MId=o040080220031|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:040080220042;|Type=qatal 5-6 הַלְוִיִּ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_8:22!4|MId=o040080220041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 לְוִיִּ֗ם לֵוִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 nsubj _ Gloss=Levites|Ref=NUM_8:22!4|MId=o040080220042|Strong=3881|Type=gentilic 7-8 לַעֲבֹ֤ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_8:22!5|MId=o040080220051|Strong=3807a 8 עֲבֹ֤ד עָבַד VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 4 advcl _ Gloss=serve|Ref=NUM_8:22!5|MId=o040080220052|Strong=5647|Frame=A0:040080220042;A1:040080220071;|Type=infinitive_construct 9 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_8:22!6|MId=o040080220061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 10-11 עֲבֹֽדָתָם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 עֲבֹֽדָת עֲבֹדָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 obj _ Gloss=service|Ref=NUM_8:22!7|MId=o040080220071|Strong=5656 11 ָם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=NUM_8:22!7|MId=o040080220072|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 12-13 בְּאֹ֣הֶל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_8:22!8|MId=o040080220081|Strong=0871a 13 אֹ֣הֶל אֹהֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=the.tent|Ref=NUM_8:22!8|MId=o040080220082|Strong=0168 14 מוֹעֵ֔ד מוֹעֵד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.meeting|Ref=NUM_8:22!9|MId=o040080220091|Strong=4150 15-16 לִפְנֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=NUM_8:22!10|MId=o040080220101|Strong=3807a 16 פְנֵ֥י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 4 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_8:22!10|MId=o040080220102|Strong=6440 17 אַהֲרֹ֖ן אַהֲרֹן PROPN _ _ 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Aaron|Ref=NUM_8:22!11|MId=o040080220111|Strong=0175 18-20 וְלִפְנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_8:22!12|MId=o040080220121|Strong=2050b 19 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_8:22!12|MId=o040080220122|Strong=3807a 20 פְנֵ֣י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 16 conj _ Gloss=before|Ref=NUM_8:22!12|MId=o040080220123|Strong=6440 21-22 בָנָ֑יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 בָנָ֑י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=sons|Ref=NUM_8:22!13|MId=o040080220131|Strong=1121 22 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NUM_8:22!13|MId=o040080220132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23-24 כַּאֲשֶׁר֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 33 obl _ Gloss=just|Ref=NUM_8:22!14|MId=o040080220141|Strong=3509a 24 אֲשֶׁר֩ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=as|Ref=NUM_8:22!14|MId=o040080220142|Strong=0834|Type=relative 25 צִוָּ֨ה צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 23 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.had.commanded|Ref=NUM_8:22!15|MId=o040080220151|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:040080220161;A1:040080220181;|Type=qatal 26 יְהוָ֤ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 25 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_8:22!16|MId=o040080220161|Strong=3068 27 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_8:22!17|MId=o040080220171|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 28 מֹשֶׁה֙ מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 25 obj _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=NUM_8:22!18|MId=o040080220181|Strong=4872 29 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_8:22!19|MId=o040080220191|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 30-31 הַלְוִיִּ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 31 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_8:22!20|MId=o040080220201|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 31 לְוִיִּ֔ם לֵוִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 25 obl _ Gloss=Levites|Ref=NUM_8:22!20|MId=o040080220202|Strong=3881|Type=gentilic 32 כֵּ֖ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 33 advmod _ Gloss=so|Ref=NUM_8:22!21|MId=o040080220211|Strong=3651|Type=demonstrative 33 עָשׂ֥וּ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=they.did|Ref=NUM_8:22!22|MId=o040080220221|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:040080200191;|Type=qatal 34-35 לָהֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 34 ל לְ ADP _ _ 35 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_8:22!23|MId=o040080220231|Strong=3807a 35 ָהֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 33 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=NUM_8:22!23|MId=o040080220232|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 36 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 35 punct _ Ref=NUM_8:22!23|SpaceAfter=No 37 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 35 punct _ Ref=NUM_8:22!23 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
