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 — plate, Aaron, children — and what happens in the verse to iniquity, holy things, holy gifts, Aaron, 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 40 chapters of Exodus on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וְהָיָה֮ עַל־מֵ֣צַח אַהֲרֹן֒ וְנָשָׂ֨א אַהֲרֹ֜ן אֶת־עֲוֺ֣ן הַקֳּדָשִׁ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֤ר יַקְדִּ֙ישׁוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לְכָֽל־מַתְּנֹ֖ת קָדְשֵׁיהֶ֑ם וְהָיָ֤ה עַל־מִצְחוֹ֙ תָּמִ֔יד לְרָצ֥וֹן לָהֶ֖ם לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ [And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity committed in the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow, even in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.836/) ## The tree {#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. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:EXO:798 # text = וְהָיָה֮ עַל־מֵ֣צַח אַהֲרֹן֒ וְנָשָׂ֨א אַהֲרֹ֜ן אֶת־עֲוֺ֣ן הַקֳּדָשִׁ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֤ר יַקְדִּ֙ישׁוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לְכָֽל־מַתְּנֹ֖ת קָדְשֵׁיהֶ֑ם וְהָיָ֤ה עַל־מִצְחוֹ֙ תָּמִ֔יד לְרָצ֥וֹן לָהֶ֖ם לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ # verse = EXO.28.38 1-2 וְהָיָה֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_28:38!1|MId=o020280380011|Strong=2050b 2 הָיָה֮ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 cop _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=EXO_28:38!1|MId=o020280380012|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:020280360021;|Type=weqatal 3 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EXO_28:38!2|MId=o020280380021|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 4 מֵ֣צַח מֵצַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=the.forehead|Ref=EXO_28:38!3|MId=o020280380031|Strong=4696 5 אַהֲרֹן֒ אַהֲרֹן PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Aaron|Ref=EXO_28:38!4|MId=o020280380041|Strong=0175 6-7 וְנָשָׂ֨א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_28:38!5|MId=o020280380051|Strong=2050b 7 נָשָׂ֨א נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=he.will.bear|Ref=EXO_28:38!5|MId=o020280380052|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:020280380061;A1:020280380081;|Type=weqatal 8 אַהֲרֹ֜ן אַהֲרֹן PROPN _ _ 7 nsubj _ Gloss=Aaron|Ref=EXO_28:38!6|MId=o020280380061|Strong=0175 9 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EXO_28:38!7|MId=o020280380071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 10 עֲוֺ֣ן עָוֺן NOUN _ Number=Sing 7 obj _ Gloss=the.guilt|Ref=EXO_28:38!8|MId=o020280380081|Strong=5771 11-12 הַקֳּדָשִׁ֗ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EXO_28:38!9|MId=o020280380091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 קֳּדָשִׁ֗ים קֹדֶשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.holy.things|Ref=EXO_28:38!9|MId=o020280380092|Strong=6944 13 אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=EXO_28:38!10|MId=o020280380101|Strong=0834|Type=relative 14 יַקְדִּ֙ישׁוּ֙ קָדַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 12 acl:relcl _ Gloss=they.will.consecrate|Ref=EXO_28:38!11|MId=o020280380111|Strong=6942|Frame=AA:020280380121;A0:020280380092;|Type=yiqtol 15 בְּנֵ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 nsubj _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=EXO_28:38!12|MId=o020280380121|Strong=1121 16 יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=EXO_28:38!13|MId=o020280380131|Strong=3478 17-18 לְכָֽל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_28:38!14|MId=o020280380141|Strong=3807a 18 כָֽל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=EXO_28:38!14|MId=o020280380142|Strong=3605 19 מַתְּנֹ֖ת מַתָּנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.gifts|Ref=EXO_28:38!15|MId=o020280380151|Strong=4979 20-21 קָדְשֵׁיהֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 קָדְשֵׁי קֹדֶשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=their.holiness(es)|Ref=EXO_28:38!16|MId=o020280380161|Strong=6944 21 הֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=EXO_28:38!16|MId=o020280380162|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 22-23 וְהָיָ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_28:38!17|MId=o020280380171|Strong=2050b 23 הָיָ֤ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 29 cop _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=EXO_28:38!17|MId=o020280380172|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:020280360021;|Type=weqatal 24 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EXO_28:38!18|MId=o020280380181|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 25-26 מִצְחוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 מִצְח מֵצַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 29 obl _ Gloss=forehead|Ref=EXO_28:38!19|MId=o020280380191|Strong=4696 26 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EXO_28:38!19|MId=o020280380192|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 27 תָּמִ֔יד תָּמִיד ADV _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 29 advmod _ Gloss=continually|Ref=EXO_28:38!20|MId=o020280380201|Strong=8548 28-29 לְרָצ֥וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EXO_28:38!21|MId=o020280380211|Strong=3807a 29 רָצ֥וֹן רָצוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=acceptance|Ref=EXO_28:38!21|MId=o020280380212|Strong=7522 30-31 לָהֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 ל לְ ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EXO_28:38!22|MId=o020280380221|Strong=3807a 31 ָהֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 29 nmod _ Gloss=them|Ref=EXO_28:38!22|MId=o020280380222|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 32-33 לִפְנֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 33 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=EXO_28:38!23|MId=o020280380231|Strong=3807a 33 פְנֵ֥י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 29 nmod _ Gloss=|Ref=EXO_28:38!23|MId=o020280380232|Strong=6440 34 יְהוָֽה יהוה PROPN _ _ 33 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EXO_28:38!24|MId=o020280380241|Strong=3068|SpaceAfter=No 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=EXO_28:38!24 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
