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 — aught — and what happens in the verse to water, seed, 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. וְכִ֤י יֻתַּן־מַ֙יִם֙ עַל־זֶ֔רַע וְנָפַ֥ל מִנִּבְלָתָ֖ם עָלָ֑יו טָמֵ֥א ה֖וּא לָכֶֽם׃ס [But if water be put upon the seed, and aught of their carcass fall thereon, it is unclean unto you.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.292/) ## 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:289 # text = וְכִ֤י יֻתַּן־מַ֙יִם֙ עַל־זֶ֔רַע וְנָפַ֥ל מִנִּבְלָתָ֖ם עָלָ֑יו טָמֵ֥א ה֖וּא לָכֶֽם׃ס # verse = LEV.11.38 1-2 וְכִ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_11:38!1|MId=o030110380011|Strong=2050b 2 כִ֤י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 3 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=LEV_11:38!1|MId=o030110380012|Strong=3588 3 יֻתַּן־ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HOPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.will.be.put|Ref=LEV_11:38!2|MId=o030110380021|Strong=5414|Frame=A1:030110380031;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 4 מַ֙יִם֙ מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 nsubj _ Gloss=water|Ref=LEV_11:38!3|MId=o030110380031|Strong=4325 5 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=LEV_11:38!4|MId=o030110380041|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 6 זֶ֔רַע זֶרַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=seed|Ref=LEV_11:38!5|MId=o030110380051|Strong=2233 7-8 וְנָפַ֥ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_11:38!6|MId=o030110380061|Strong=2050b 8 נָפַ֥ל נָפַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=it.will.fall|Ref=LEV_11:38!6|MId=o030110380062|Strong=5307|Frame=A0:030110380072;|Type=weqatal 9-11 מִנִּבְלָתָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=any|Ref=LEV_11:38!7|MId=o030110380071|Strong=4480 10 נִּבְלָת נְבֵלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 nsubj _ Gloss=of|Ref=LEV_11:38!7|MId=o030110380072|Strong=5038 11 ָ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their.carcass|Ref=LEV_11:38!7|MId=o030110380073|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 12-13 עָלָ֑יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 עָלָ֑י עַל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=LEV_11:38!8|MId=o030110380081|Strong=5921 13 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=LEV_11:38!8|MId=o030110380082|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 14 טָמֵ֥א טָמֵא ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 parataxis _ Gloss=[is].unclean|Ref=LEV_11:38!9|MId=o030110380091|Strong=2931|Type=adjective 15 ה֖וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=LEV_11:38!10|MId=o030110380101|Strong=1931|Type=personal 16-17 לָכֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 ל לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=LEV_11:38!11|MId=o030110380111|Strong=3807a 17 ָכֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=LEV_11:38!11|MId=o030110380112|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 18 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 17 punct _ Ref=LEV_11:38!11|SpaceAfter=No 19 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 17 punct _ Ref=LEV_11:38!11 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֻתַּן־ *it will be put* | yiqtol · hophal | | מַיִם *water* | | | | נָפַל *it will fall* | weqatal · qal | נִּבְלָת *of* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
