Numbers 27:4 בְּמִדְבַּר

Who acts: father, you · What happens: do, have, name, give · To what, where: name, son, father, possession, us

This is Numbers 27:4 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 — father, you — and what happens in the verse to name, son, father, possession, us, 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.

לָ֣מָּה יִגָּרַ֤ע שֵׁם־אָבִ֙ינוּ֙ מִתּ֣וֹךְ מִשְׁפַּחְתּ֔וֹ כִּ֛י אֵ֥ין ל֖וֹ בֵּ֑ן תְּנָה־לָּ֣נוּ אֲחֻזָּ֔ה בְּת֖וֹךְ אֲחֵ֥י אָבִֽינוּ׃

Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he had no son? Give unto us a possession among the brethren of our father.'

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: wh-question
act: ask
voice: character
speech: inside a quote begun earlier
negation: yes

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)
not יִגָּרַע will it be withdrawn	yiqtol · niphal		שֵׁם־ the name
תְּנ give	imperative · qal		אֲחֻזָּה a possession

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

לְמָא יִתְמְנַע שְׁמָא דַאֲבוּנָא מִגוֹ זַרְעִיתֵיהּ אֲרֵי לֵית לֵיהּ בָּר הַב לָנָא אַחֲסָנָא בְּגוֹ אֲחֵי אָבוּנָא

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