# Leviticus 11:42 וַיִּקְרָא

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Whatsoever, swarming things, ye, things · **What happens:** go, have, swarm, not eat, be · **To what, where:** belly, fours, many feet, earth, things, detestable thing

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Leviticus 11:42 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 — Whatsoever, swarming things, ye, things — and what happens in the verse to belly, fours, many feet, earth, things, detestable thing, 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.

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
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 {#pragmatics}

<!-- sa -->
- form: statement
- act: assert
- voice: character
- speech: inside a quote begun earlier
- negation: yes

<!-- .fr -->
| verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| מַרְבֵּה *\[one which\] multiplies* | participle active · hiphil |  | רַגְלַיִם *(of) feet* |  |  |
| שֹּׁרֵץ *swarms* | participle active · qal | שֶּׁרֶץ *thing* |  |  |  |
| **not** תֹאכְלוּ *you* | yiqtol · qal |  | ם *must eat them* |  |  |

<!-- .note -->
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 {#onkelos}

<!-- .varc dir=rtl lang=arc -->
כֹּל דִמְהַלֵךְ עַל מְעוֹהִי וְכֹל דִמְהַלֵךְ עַל אַרְבַּע עַד כָּל סְגִיאוּת רַגְלָאִין לְכָל רִחֲשָׁא דְרָחֵשׁ עַל אַרְעָא לָא תֵיכְלֻנוּן אֲרֵי שִׁקְצָא אִנוּן

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