Numbers 17:14 בְּמִדְבַּר

Who acts: dead, Korah · What happens: die, be, matter · To what, where: fourteen thousand

This is Numbers 17:14 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (The Torah). 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 — dead, Korah — and what happens in the verse to fourteen thousand, 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.

וַיִּהְי֗וּ הַמֵּתִים֙ בַּמַּגֵּפָ֔ה אַרְבָּעָ֥ה עָשָׂ֛ר אֶ֖לֶף וּשְׁבַ֣ע מֵא֑וֹת מִלְּבַ֥ד הַמֵּתִ֖ים עַל־דְּבַר־קֹֽרַח׃

Now they that died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides them that died about the matter of Korah.

The 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.

Pragmatics

form: statement
act: assert
voice: narrator
speech: narration
negation: no

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)
יִּהְיוּ they were	wayyiqtol · qal	מֵּתִים who] died
מֵּתִים who] died	participle active · qal

MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant. A0 is the one who acts, A1 what the act is done to or is about, A2 a further participant; AA, with a causative verb, the one who makes it happen.

Targum Onkelos

וַהֲווֹ דְמִיתוּ בְּמוֹתָנָא אַרְבַּעַת עֲשַׂר אַלְפִין וּשְׁבַע מְאָה בַּר מִדְמִיתוּ עַל פְּלֻגְתָּא דְקֹרַח

The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew. Text only: Mova has no Aramaic parser yet.

English, JPS 1917

Each sentence on its own page, with its tree and pragmatics. A sentence that runs on into the next verse is listed under the verse it begins in.

Now they that died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides them that died about the matter of Korah.
