Numbers 18:21 בְּמִדְבַּר

Who acts: I, children · What happens: give, serve, service · To what, where: tithe, Israel, service, tent

This is Numbers 18:21 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 — I, children — and what happens in the verse to tithe, Israel, service, tent, 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.

וְלִבְנֵ֣י לֵוִ֔י הִנֵּ֥ה נָתַ֛תִּי כָּל־מַֽעֲשֵׂ֥ר בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לְנַחֲלָ֑ה חֵ֤לֶף עֲבֹֽדָתָם֙ אֲשֶׁר־הֵ֣ם עֹֽבְדִ֔ים אֶת־עֲבֹדַ֖ת אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵֽד׃

And unto the children of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they serve, even the service of the tent of meeting.

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.

voice: character
speech: inside a quote begun earlier
negation: no

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

וְלִבְנֵי לֵוִי הָא יְהָבִית כָּל מַעַשְׂרָא בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל לְאַחֲסָנָא חֲלַף פּוּלְחַנְהוֹן דִי אִינוּן פָּלְחִין יָת פּוּלְחַן מַשְׁכַּן זִמְנָא

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