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 — Aaron, priest, wood, fire — and what happens in the verse to blood, pieces, wood, fire, 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 27 chapters of Leviticus on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וְנִתַּ֤ח אֹתוֹ֙ לִנְתָחָ֔יו וְאֶת־רֹאשׁ֖וֹ וְאֶת־פִּדְר֑וֹ וְעָרַ֤ךְ הַכֹּהֵן֙ אֹתָ֔ם עַל־הָֽעֵצִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עַל־הָאֵ֔שׁ אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ׃ [And he shall cut it into its pieces; and the priest shall lay them, with its head and its suet, in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.11/) ## 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:LEV:11 # text = וְנִתַּ֤ח אֹתוֹ֙ לִנְתָחָ֔יו וְאֶת־רֹאשׁ֖וֹ וְאֶת־פִּדְר֑וֹ וְעָרַ֤ךְ הַכֹּהֵן֙ אֹתָ֔ם עַל־הָֽעֵצִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עַל־הָאֵ֔שׁ אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ׃ # verse = LEV.1.12 1-2 וְנִתַּ֤ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_1:12!1|MId=o030010120011|Strong=2050b 2 נִתַּ֤ח נָתַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.cut.in.pieces|Ref=LEV_1:12!1|MId=o030010120012|Strong=5408|Frame=A0:030010020071;A1:030010120022;|Type=weqatal 3-4 אֹתוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=|Ref=LEV_1:12!2|MId=o030010120021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 4 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=LEV_1:12!2|MId=o030010120022|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 5-7 לִנְתָחָ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=into|Ref=LEV_1:12!3|MId=o030010120031|Strong=3807a 6 נְתָחָ֔י נֵתַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=pieces|Ref=LEV_1:12!3|MId=o030010120032|Strong=5409 7 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=LEV_1:12!3|MId=o030010120033|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 8-9 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_1:12!4|MId=o030010120041|Strong=2050b 9 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=LEV_1:12!4|MId=o030010120042|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 10-11 רֹאשׁ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 רֹאשׁ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=head|Ref=LEV_1:12!5|MId=o030010120051|Strong=7218 11 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=LEV_1:12!5|MId=o030010120052|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12-13 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_1:12!6|MId=o030010120061|Strong=2050b 13 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=LEV_1:12!6|MId=o030010120062|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 14-15 פִּדְר֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 פִּדְר פֶּדֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 conj _ Gloss=suet|Ref=LEV_1:12!7|MId=o030010120071|Strong=6309 15 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=LEV_1:12!7|MId=o030010120072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 16-17 וְעָרַ֤ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_1:12!8|MId=o030010120081|Strong=2050b 17 עָרַ֤ךְ עָרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.will.arrange|Ref=LEV_1:12!8|MId=o030010120082|Strong=6186|Frame=A0:030010120092;A1:030010120102;|Type=weqatal 18-19 הַכֹּהֵן֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_1:12!9|MId=o030010120091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 כֹּהֵן֙ כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 nsubj _ Gloss=priest|Ref=LEV_1:12!9|MId=o030010120092|Strong=3548 20-21 אֹתָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=|Ref=LEV_1:12!10|MId=o030010120101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 21 ָ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=LEV_1:12!10|MId=o030010120102|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 22 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=LEV_1:12!11|MId=o030010120111|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 23-24 הָֽעֵצִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_1:12!12|MId=o030010120121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 עֵצִים֙ עֵץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 17 obl _ Gloss=wood(s)|Ref=LEV_1:12!12|MId=o030010120122|Strong=6086 25 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 28 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=LEV_1:12!13|MId=o030010120131|Strong=0834|Type=relative 26 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=[are].on|Ref=LEV_1:12!14|MId=o030010120141|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 27-28 הָאֵ֔שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_1:12!15|MId=o030010120151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 אֵ֔שׁ אֵשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 24 acl:relcl _ Gloss=fire|Ref=LEV_1:12!15|MId=o030010120152|Strong=0784 29 אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 32 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=LEV_1:12!16|MId=o030010120161|Strong=0834|Type=relative 30 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=[is].on|Ref=LEV_1:12!17|MId=o030010120171|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 31-32 הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 32 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_1:12!18|MId=o030010120181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 32 מִּזְבֵּֽחַ מִזְבֵּחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 acl:relcl _ Gloss=altar|Ref=LEV_1:12!18|MId=o030010120182|Strong=4196 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=LEV_1:12!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
