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 — LORD, they — and what happens in the verse to wilderness, land, 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. וַיְדַבֵּ֣ר יְהוָ֣ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֣ה בְמִדְבַּר־סִ֠ינַי בַּשָּׁנָ֨ה הַשֵּׁנִ֜ית לְצֵאתָ֨ם מֵאֶ֧רֶץ מִצְרַ֛יִם בַּחֹ֥דֶשׁ הָרִאשׁ֖וֹן לֵאמֹֽר׃ [And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying:](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.377/) ## 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:361 # text = וַיְדַבֵּ֣ר יְהוָ֣ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֣ה בְמִדְבַּר־סִ֠ינַי בַּשָּׁנָ֨ה הַשֵּׁנִ֜ית לְצֵאתָ֨ם מֵאֶ֧רֶץ מִצְרַ֛יִם בַּחֹ֥דֶשׁ הָרִאשׁ֖וֹן לֵאמֹֽר׃ # verse = NUM.9.1 1-2 וַיְדַבֵּ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_9:1!1|MId=o040090010011|Strong=2050b 2 יְדַבֵּ֣ר דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.spoke|Ref=NUM_9:1!1|MId=o040090010012|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:040090010021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_9:1!2|MId=o040090010021|Strong=3068 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_9:1!3|MId=o040090010031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 מֹשֶׁ֣ה מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=NUM_9:1!4|MId=o040090010041|Strong=4872 6-7 בְמִדְבַּר־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_9:1!5|MId=o040090010051|Strong=0871a 7 מִדְבַּר־ מִדְבָּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.wilderness|Ref=NUM_9:1!5|MId=o040090010052|Strong=4057 8 סִ֠ינַי סִינַי PROPN _ _ 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Sinai|Ref=NUM_9:1!6|MId=o040090010061|Strong=5514 9-11 בַּשָּׁנָ֨ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_9:1!7|MId=o040090010071|Strong=0871a 10 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_9:1!7|MId=o040090010071ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 שָּׁנָ֨ה שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=year|Ref=NUM_9:1!7|MId=o040090010072|Strong=8141 12-13 הַשֵּׁנִ֜ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=NUM_9:1!8|MId=o040090010081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 שֵּׁנִ֜ית שֵׁנִי NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 nummod _ Gloss=second|Ref=NUM_9:1!8|MId=o040090010082|Strong=8145|Type=adjective 14-16 לְצֵאתָ֨ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=NUM_9:1!9|MId=o040090010091|Strong=3807a 15 צֵאת יָצָא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 11 nmod _ Gloss=their.going|Ref=NUM_9:1!9|MId=o040090010092|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:040090010093;|Type=infinitive_construct 16 ָ֨ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nsubj _ Gloss=out|Ref=NUM_9:1!9|MId=o040090010093|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 17-18 מֵאֶ֧רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=NUM_9:1!10|MId=o040090010101|Strong=4480 18 אֶ֧רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=NUM_9:1!10|MId=o040090010102|Strong=0776 19 מִצְרַ֛יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Egypt|Ref=NUM_9:1!11|MId=o040090010111|Strong=4714 20-22 בַּחֹ֥דֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_9:1!12|MId=o040090010121|Strong=0871a 21 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_9:1!12|MId=o040090010121ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 חֹ֥דֶשׁ חֹדֶשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 conj _ Gloss=month|Ref=NUM_9:1!12|MId=o040090010122|Strong=2320 23-24 הָרִאשׁ֖וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=NUM_9:1!13|MId=o040090010131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 רִאשׁ֖וֹן רִאשׁוֹן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 amod _ Gloss=first|Ref=NUM_9:1!13|MId=o040090010132|Strong=7223|Type=ordinal_number 25-26 לֵאמֹֽר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 2 ccomp _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=NUM_9:1!14|MId=o040090010141|Strong=3807a 26 אמֹֽר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 25 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_9:1!14|MId=o040090010142|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040090010021;|Type=infinitive_construct 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=NUM_9:1!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: a frame; the quote follows - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יְדַבֵּר *he spoke* | wayyiqtol · piel | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | צֵאת *their going* | infinitive construct · qal | ָם *out* | | | | | אמֹֽר | infinitive construct · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
