Numbers 35:28 בְּמִדְבַּר

Who acts: avenger, manslayer, high priest · What happens: remain, return, die, possess · To what, where: city, land

This is Numbers 35:28 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 — avenger, manslayer, high priest — and what happens in the verse to city, land, 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.

כִּ֣י בְעִ֤יר מִקְלָטוֹ֙ יֵשֵׁ֔ב עַד־מ֖וֹת הַכֹּהֵ֣ן הַגָּדֹ֑ל וְאַחֲרֵ֥י מוֹת֙ הַכֹּהֵ֣ן הַגָּדֹ֔ל יָשׁוּב֙ הָרֹצֵ֔חַ אֶל־אֶ֖רֶץ אֲחֻזָּתֽוֹ׃

because he must remain in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest; but after the death of the high priest the manslayer may return into the land of his possession.

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: statement
act: assert
voice: narrator
speech: narration
negation: no

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)
יֵשֵׁב he will remain	yiqtol · qal
יָשׁוּב he will return	yiqtol · qal	רֹצֵחַ killer

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

אֲרֵי בְקִרְיַת שֵׁזָבוּתֵהּ יִתֵּב עַד דִימוּת כַּהֲנָא רַבָּא וּבָתַר דִימוּת כַּהֲנָא רַבָּא יְתוּב קָטּוֹלָא לְאֲרַע אַחֲסַנְתֵּה

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