Numbers 23:30 בְּמִדְבַּר

Who acts: Balaam · What happens: say, offer up · To what, where: bullock, altar · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Numbers 23:30 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 — Balaam — and what happens in the verse to bullock, altar, 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.

וַיַּ֣עַשׂ בָּלָ֔ק כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר אָמַ֣ר בִּלְעָ֑ם וַיַּ֛עַל פָּ֥ר וָאַ֖יִל בַּמִּזְבֵּֽחַ׃

And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar.

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.

Targum Onkelos

וַעֲבַד בָּלָק כְּמָא דִי אֲמַר בִּלְעָם וְאַסֵיק תּוֹר וּדְכַר עַל כָּל מַדְבְּחָא

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