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 — children, LORD — and what happens in the verse to passover, wilderness, 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. וַיַּעֲשׂ֣וּ אֶת־הַפֶּ֡סַח בָּרִאשׁ֡וֹן בְּאַרְבָּעָה֩ עָשָׂ֨ר י֥וֹם לַחֹ֛דֶשׁ בֵּ֥ין הָעַרְבַּ֖יִם בְּמִדְבַּ֣ר סִינָ֑י כְּ֠כֹל אֲשֶׁ֨ר צִוָּ֤ה יְהוָה֙ אֶת־מֹשֶׁ֔ה כֵּ֥ן עָשׂ֖וּ בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ [And they kept the passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at dusk, in the wilderness of Sinai; according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.381/) ## 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:365 # text = וַיַּעֲשׂ֣וּ אֶת־הַפֶּ֡סַח בָּרִאשׁ֡וֹן בְּאַרְבָּעָה֩ עָשָׂ֨ר י֥וֹם לַחֹ֛דֶשׁ בֵּ֥ין הָעַרְבַּ֖יִם בְּמִדְבַּ֣ר סִינָ֑י כְּ֠כֹל אֲשֶׁ֨ר צִוָּ֤ה יְהוָה֙ אֶת־מֹשֶׁ֔ה כֵּ֥ן עָשׂ֖וּ בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ # verse = NUM.9.5 1-2 וַיַּעֲשׂ֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_9:5!1|MId=o040090050011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּעֲשׂ֣וּ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.observed|Ref=NUM_9:5!1|MId=o040090050012|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:040090040041;A1:040090050032;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_9:5!2|MId=o040090050021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 הַפֶּ֡סַח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_9:5!3|MId=o040090050031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 פֶּ֡סַח פֶּסַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=passover|Ref=NUM_9:5!3|MId=o040090050032|Strong=6453 6-8 בָּרִאשׁ֡וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_9:5!4|MId=o040090050041|Strong=0871a 7 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=the.first|Ref=NUM_9:5!4|MId=o040090050041ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 רִאשׁ֡וֹן רִאשׁוֹן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=[month]|Ref=NUM_9:5!4|MId=o040090050042|Strong=7223|Type=adjective 9-10 בְּאַרְבָּעָה֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=on.[the]|Ref=NUM_9:5!5|MId=o040090050051|Strong=0871a 10 אַרְבָּעָה֩ אַרְבַּע NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nummod _ Gloss=four-|Ref=NUM_9:5!5|MId=o040090050052|Strong=0702|Type=cardinal_number 11 עָשָׂ֨ר עָשָׂר NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 flat _ Gloss=teen|Ref=NUM_9:5!6|MId=o040090050061|Strong=6240|Type=cardinal_number 12 י֥וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 conj _ Gloss=day|Ref=NUM_9:5!7|MId=o040090050071|Strong=3117 13-15 לַחֹ֛דֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=NUM_9:5!8|MId=o040090050081|Strong=3807a 14 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_9:5!8|MId=o040090050081ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 חֹ֛דֶשׁ חֹדֶשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nmod _ Gloss=month|Ref=NUM_9:5!8|MId=o040090050082|Strong=2320 16 בֵּ֥ין בֵּין ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=between|Ref=NUM_9:5!9|MId=o040090050091|Strong=0996 17-18 הָעַרְבַּ֖יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_9:5!10|MId=o040090050101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 עַרְבַּ֖יִם עֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 2 obl _ Gloss=evenings|Ref=NUM_9:5!10|MId=o040090050102|Strong=6153 19-20 בְּמִדְבַּ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_9:5!11|MId=o040090050111|Strong=0871a 20 מִדְבַּ֣ר מִדְבָּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.wilderness|Ref=NUM_9:5!11|MId=o040090050112|Strong=4057 21 סִינָ֑י סִינַי PROPN _ _ 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Sinai|Ref=NUM_9:5!12|MId=o040090050121|Strong=5514 22-23 כְּ֠כֹל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 כְּ֠ כְּ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=according|Ref=NUM_9:5!13|MId=o040090050131|Strong=3509a 23 כֹל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 30 obl _ Gloss=to.all|Ref=NUM_9:5!13|MId=o040090050132|Strong=3605 24 אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=NUM_9:5!14|MId=o040090050141|Strong=0834|Type=relative 25 צִוָּ֤ה צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 23 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.had.commanded|Ref=NUM_9:5!15|MId=o040090050151|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:040090050161;A2:040090050181;A1:040090050132;|Type=qatal 26 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 25 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_9:5!16|MId=o040090050161|Strong=3068 27 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_9:5!17|MId=o040090050171|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 28 מֹשֶׁ֔ה מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 25 obj _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=NUM_9:5!18|MId=o040090050181|Strong=4872 29 כֵּ֥ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 30 advmod _ Gloss=so|Ref=NUM_9:5!19|MId=o040090050191|Strong=3651|Type=demonstrative 30 עָשׂ֖וּ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=they.did|Ref=NUM_9:5!20|MId=o040090050201|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:040090050211;|Type=qatal 31 בְּנֵ֥י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 30 nsubj _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=NUM_9:5!21|MId=o040090050211|Strong=1121 32 יִשְׂרָאֵֽל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 31 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=NUM_9:5!22|MId=o040090050221|Strong=3478|SpaceAfter=No 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=NUM_9:5!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַּעֲשׂוּ *they observed* | wayyiqtol · qal | | פֶּסַח *passover* | | | | צִוָּה *he had commanded* | qatal · piel | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | כֹל *to all* | מֹשֶׁה *Moses* | | | עָשׂוּ *they did* | qatal · qal | בְּנֵי *the people* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
