Numbers 36:2 בְּמִדְבַּר

Who acts: heads, LORD · What happens: say, command, give, inherit · To what, where: lord, land, children, inheritance, Zelophehad · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Numbers 36:2 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 — heads, LORD — and what happens in the verse to lord, land, children, inheritance, Zelophehad, 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.

וַיֹּאמְר֗וּ אֶת־אֲדֹנִי֙ צִוָּ֣ה יְהוָ֔ה לָתֵ֨ת אֶת־הָאָ֧רֶץ בְּנַחֲלָ֛ה בְּגוֹרָ֖ל לִבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַֽאדֹנִי֙ צֻוָּ֣ה בַֽיהוָ֔ה לָתֵ֗ת אֶֽת־נַחֲלַ֛ת צְלָפְחָ֥ד אָחִ֖ינוּ לִבְנֹתָֽיו׃

and they said: 'The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.

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: character
speech: a frame and its quote
negation: no
the frame alone: decl · narrate · none

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)
יֹּאמְרוּ they said	wayyiqtol · qal
צִוָּה he commanded	qatal · piel	יְהוָה Yahweh	אֲדֹנ lord

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

וַאֲמָרוּ יָת רִבּוֹנִי פַּקִיד יְיָ לְמִתַּן יָת אַרְעָא בְאַחֲסָנָא בְּעַדְבָא לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְרִבּוֹנִי אִתְפַּקֵד בְּמֵימְרָא דַיְיָ לְמִתַּן יָת אַחֲסָנַת צְלָפְחָד אָחוּנָא לִבְנָתֵהּ
