Numbers 23:18 בְּמִדְבַּר

Who acts: Balak · What happens: take up, say, arise, hear, give · To what, where: parable, ear · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Numbers 23:18 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 — Balak — and what happens in the verse to parable, ear, 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.

וַיִּשָּׂ֥א מְשָׁל֖וֹ וַיֹּאמַ֑ר ק֤וּם בָּלָק֙ וּֽשֲׁמָ֔ע הַאֲזִ֥ינָה עָדַ֖י בְּנ֥וֹ צִפֹּֽר׃

And he took up his parable, and said: Arise, Balak, and hear; give ear unto me, thou son of Zippor:

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.

וּנְטַל מַתְלֵיהּ וַאֲמַר קוּם בָּלָק וּשְׁמַע אָצִית לְמֵימְרִי בַּר צִפֹּר

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