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 — I, ye, swarming thing — and what happens in the verse to LORD, yourselves, earth, 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. כִּ֣י אֲנִ֣י יְהוָה֮ אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם֒ וְהִתְקַדִּשְׁתֶּם֙ וִהְיִיתֶ֣ם קְדֹשִׁ֔ים כִּ֥י קָד֖וֹשׁ אָ֑נִי וְלֹ֤א תְטַמְּאוּ֙ אֶת־נַפְשֹׁ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם בְּכָל־הַשֶּׁ֖רֶץ הָרֹמֵ֥שׂ עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ [For I am the LORD your God; sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am holy; neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of swarming thing that moveth upon the earth.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.298/) ## 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:295 # text = כִּ֣י אֲנִ֣י יְהוָה֮ אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם֒ וְהִתְקַדִּשְׁתֶּם֙ וִהְיִיתֶ֣ם קְדֹשִׁ֔ים כִּ֥י קָד֖וֹשׁ אָ֑נִי וְלֹ֤א תְטַמְּאוּ֙ אֶת־נַפְשֹׁ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם בְּכָל־הַשֶּׁ֖רֶץ הָרֹמֵ֥שׂ עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ # verse = LEV.11.44 1 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 3 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=LEV_11:44!1|MId=o030110440011|Strong=3588 2 אֲנִ֣י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 3 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=LEV_11:44!2|MId=o030110440021|Strong=0589|Type=personal 3 יְהוָה֮ יהוה PROPN _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=[am].Yahweh|Ref=LEV_11:44!3|MId=o030110440031|Strong=3068 4-5 אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אֱלֹֽהֵי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=LEV_11:44!4|MId=o030110440041|Strong=0430 5 כֶם֒ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=LEV_11:44!4|MId=o030110440042|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 6-7 וְהִתְקַדִּשְׁתֶּם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_11:44!5|MId=o030110440051|Strong=2050b 7 הִתְקַדִּשְׁתֶּם֙ קָדַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Plur|Person=2 3 conj _ Gloss=you.will.keep.yourselves.holy|Ref=LEV_11:44!5|MId=o030110440052|Strong=6942|Frame=A0:030110020031;|Type=weqatal 8-9 וִהְיִיתֶ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וִ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_11:44!6|MId=o030110440061|Strong=2050b 9 הְיִיתֶ֣ם הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 10 cop _ Gloss=you.will.be|Ref=LEV_11:44!6|MId=o030110440062|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:030110020031;|Type=weqatal 10 קְדֹשִׁ֔ים קָדוֹשׁ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 conj _ Gloss=holy|Ref=LEV_11:44!7|MId=o030110440071|Strong=6918|Type=adjective 11 כִּ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=LEV_11:44!8|MId=o030110440081|Strong=3588 12 קָד֖וֹשׁ קָדוֹשׁ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 parataxis _ Gloss=[am].holy|Ref=LEV_11:44!9|MId=o030110440091|Strong=6918|Type=adjective 13 אָ֑נִי אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=LEV_11:44!10|MId=o030110440101|Strong=0589|Type=personal 14-15 וְלֹ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_11:44!11|MId=o030110440111|Strong=2050b 15 לֹ֤א לֹא ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=LEV_11:44!11|MId=o030110440112|Strong=3808|Type=negative 16 תְטַמְּאוּ֙ טָמֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=2 3 conj _ Gloss=you.must.make.unclean|Ref=LEV_11:44!12|MId=o030110440121|Strong=2930|Frame=A0:030110020031;A1:030110440141;|Type=jussive 17 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=LEV_11:44!13|MId=o030110440131|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 18-19 נַפְשֹׁ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 נַפְשֹׁ֣תֵי נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Plur 16 obj _ Gloss=selves|Ref=LEV_11:44!14|MId=o030110440141|Strong=5315 19 כֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=LEV_11:44!14|MId=o030110440142|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 20-21 בְּכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=LEV_11:44!15|MId=o030110440151|Strong=0871a 21 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=any|Ref=LEV_11:44!15|MId=o030110440152|Strong=3605 22-23 הַשֶּׁ֖רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=(the).swarming|Ref=LEV_11:44!16|MId=o030110440161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 שֶּׁ֖רֶץ שֶׁרֶץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=thing|Ref=LEV_11:44!16|MId=o030110440162|Strong=8318 24-25 הָרֹמֵ֥שׂ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 הָ הַ SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=[which]|Ref=LEV_11:44!17|MId=o030110440171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 רֹמֵ֥שׂ רָמַשׂ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 21 acl:relcl _ Gloss=creeps|Ref=LEV_11:44!17|MId=o030110440172|Strong=7430|Frame=A0:030110440162;|Type=participle_active 26 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=LEV_11:44!18|MId=o030110440181|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 27-28 הָאָֽרֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_11:44!19|MId=o030110440191|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 אָֽרֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 25 obl _ Gloss=earth|Ref=LEV_11:44!19|MId=o030110440192|Strong=0776 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=LEV_11:44!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הִתְקַדִּשְׁתֶּם *you will keep yourselves holy* | weqatal · hithpael | | | | | | הְיִיתֶם *you will be* | weqatal · qal | | | | | | **not** תְטַמְּאוּ *you must make unclean* | jussive · piel | | נַפְשֹׁתֵי *selves* | | | | רֹמֵשׂ *creeps* | participle active · qal | שֶּׁרֶץ *thing* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
