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 — cloud, children — and what happens in the verse to two days, it, 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. אֽוֹ־יֹמַ֜יִם אוֹ־חֹ֣דֶשׁ אוֹ־יָמִ֗ים בְּהַאֲרִ֨יךְ הֶעָנָ֤ן עַל־הַמִּשְׁכָּן֙ לִשְׁכֹּ֣ן עָלָ֔יו יַחֲנ֥וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל וְלֹ֣א יִסָּ֑עוּ וּבְהֵעָלֹת֖וֹ יִסָּֽעוּ׃ [Whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, abiding thereon, the children of Israel remained encamped, and journeyed not; but when it was taken up, they journeyed.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.398/) ## 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:382 # text = אֽוֹ־יֹמַ֜יִם אוֹ־חֹ֣דֶשׁ אוֹ־יָמִ֗ים בְּהַאֲרִ֨יךְ הֶעָנָ֤ן עַל־הַמִּשְׁכָּן֙ לִשְׁכֹּ֣ן עָלָ֔יו יַחֲנ֥וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל וְלֹ֣א יִסָּ֑עוּ וּבְהֵעָלֹת֖וֹ יִסָּֽעוּ׃ # verse = NUM.9.22 1 אֽוֹ־ אוֹ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=or|Ref=NUM_9:22!1|MId=o040090220011|Strong=0176|SpaceAfter=No 2 יֹמַ֜יִם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 18 obl _ Gloss=two.days|Ref=NUM_9:22!2|MId=o040090220021|Strong=3117 3 אוֹ־ אוֹ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=or|Ref=NUM_9:22!3|MId=o040090220031|Strong=0176|SpaceAfter=No 4 חֹ֣דֶשׁ חֹדֶשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=a.month|Ref=NUM_9:22!4|MId=o040090220041|Strong=2320 5 אוֹ־ אוֹ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=or|Ref=NUM_9:22!5|MId=o040090220051|Strong=0176|SpaceAfter=No 6 יָמִ֗ים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 conj _ Gloss=days|Ref=NUM_9:22!6|MId=o040090220061|Strong=3117 7-8 בְּהַאֲרִ֨יךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=NUM_9:22!7|MId=o040090220071|Strong=0871a 8 הַאֲרִ֨יךְ אָרַךְ VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 18 advcl _ Gloss=made.long|Ref=NUM_9:22!7|MId=o040090220072|Strong=0748|Frame=A0:040090220082;|Type=infinitive_construct 9-10 הֶעָנָ֤ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הֶ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_9:22!8|MId=o040090220081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 עָנָ֤ן עָנָן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 nsubj _ Gloss=cloud|Ref=NUM_9:22!8|MId=o040090220082|Strong=6051 11 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=NUM_9:22!9|MId=o040090220091|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 12-13 הַמִּשְׁכָּן֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_9:22!10|MId=o040090220101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 מִּשְׁכָּן֙ מִשְׁכָּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=tabernacle|Ref=NUM_9:22!10|MId=o040090220102|Strong=4908 14-15 לִשְׁכֹּ֣ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_9:22!11|MId=o040090220111|Strong=3807a 15 שְׁכֹּ֣ן שָׁכַן VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 8 advcl _ Gloss=dwell|Ref=NUM_9:22!11|MId=o040090220112|Strong=7931|Frame=A0:040090220082;|Type=infinitive_construct 16-17 עָלָ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 עָלָ֔י עַל ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=NUM_9:22!12|MId=o040090220121|Strong=5921 17 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=NUM_9:22!12|MId=o040090220122|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 18 יַחֲנ֥וּ חָנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.encamped|Ref=NUM_9:22!13|MId=o040090220131|Strong=2583|Frame=A0:040090220141;|Type=yiqtol 19 בְנֵֽי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 nsubj _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=NUM_9:22!14|MId=o040090220141|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 20 יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=NUM_9:22!15|MId=o040090220151|Strong=3478 21-22 וְלֹ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_9:22!16|MId=o040090220161|Strong=2050b 22 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 23 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NUM_9:22!16|MId=o040090220162|Strong=3808|Type=negative 23 יִסָּ֑עוּ נָסַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 18 conj _ Gloss=they.set.out|Ref=NUM_9:22!17|MId=o040090220171|Strong=5265|Frame=A0:040090220141;|Type=yiqtol 24-27 וּבְהֵעָלֹת֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_9:22!18|MId=o040090220181|Strong=2050b 25 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=NUM_9:22!18|MId=o040090220182|Strong=0871a 26 הֵעָלֹת עָלָה VERB _ HebBinyan=NIPHAL 28 advcl _ Gloss=it|Ref=NUM_9:22!18|MId=o040090220183|Strong=5927|Frame=A1:040090220184;|Type=infinitive_construct 27 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 nsubj _ Gloss=was.taken.up|Ref=NUM_9:22!18|MId=o040090220184|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 28 יִסָּֽעוּ נָסַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 18 conj _ Gloss=they.set.out|Ref=NUM_9:22!19|MId=o040090220191|Strong=5265|Frame=A0:040090220141;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=NUM_9:22!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הַאֲרִיךְ *made long* | infinitive construct · hiphil | עָנָן *cloud* | | | | | שְׁכֹּן *dwell* | infinitive construct · qal | עָנָן *cloud* | | | | | יַחֲנוּ *they encamped* | yiqtol · qal | בְנֵֽי־ *the people* | | | | | **not** יִסָּעוּ *they set out* | yiqtol · qal | בְנֵֽי־ *the people* | | | | | הֵעָלֹת *it* | infinitive construct · niphal | | וֹ *was taken up* | | | | יִסָּֽעוּ *they set out* | yiqtol · qal | בְנֵֽי־ *the people* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
