Numbers 17:24 בְּמִדְבַּר

Who acts: Moses, rods · What happens: bring out, look, take · To what, where: rods, rod, man

This is Numbers 17:24 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 — Moses, rods — and what happens in the verse to rods, rod, man, 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.

וַיֹּצֵ֨א מֹשֶׁ֤ה אֶת־כָּל־הַמַּטֹּת֙ מִלִּפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה אֶֽל־כָּל־בְּנֵ֖י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיִּרְא֥וּ וַיִּקְח֖וּ אִ֥ישׁ מַטֵּֽהוּ׃ס

And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the children of Israel; and they looked, and took every man his rod.

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.

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

וְאַפֵיק משֶׁה יָת כָּל חוּטְרַיָא מִן קֳדָם יְיָ לְוָת כָּל בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאִשְׁתְּמוֹדָעוּ וּנְסִיבוּ גְבַר חוּטְרֵיהּ
