Numbers 5:23 בְּמִדְבַּר

Who acts: priest, belly · What happens: write, blot out · To what, where: curses, scroll, thigh, water

This is Numbers 5:23 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 — priest, belly — and what happens in the verse to curses, scroll, thigh, water, 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.

וְ֠כָתַב אֶת־הָאָלֹ֥ת הָאֵ֛לֶּה הַכֹּהֵ֖ן בַּסֵּ֑פֶר וּמָחָ֖ה אֶל־מֵ֥י הַמָּרִֽים׃

And the priest shall write these curses in a scroll, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness.

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.

speech: inside a quote begun earlier
negation: no

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)
כָתַב he will write	weqatal · qal	כֹּהֵן priest	אָלֹת curses
מָחָה he will wipe [them] off	weqatal · qal	כֹּהֵן priest	אָלֹת curses

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

וְיִכְתּוֹב יָת לְוָטַיָא הָאִלֵין כַּהֲנָא בְּסִפְרָא וְיִמְחוֹק לְמַיָא מְרִירַיָא

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