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 — you, woman — and what happens in the verse to woman, man child, 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. דַּבֵּ֞ר אֶל־בְּנֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר אִשָּׁה֙ כִּ֣י תַזְרִ֔יעַ וְיָלְדָ֖ה זָכָ֑ר וְטָֽמְאָה֙ שִׁבְעַ֣ת יָמִ֔ים כִּימֵ֛י נִדַּ֥ת דְּוֺתָ֖הּ תִּטְמָֽא׃ [Speak unto the children of Israel, saying: If a woman be delivered, and bear a man-child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of the impurity of her sickness shall she be unclean.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.303/) ## 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:300 # text = דַּבֵּ֞ר אֶל־בְּנֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר אִשָּׁה֙ כִּ֣י תַזְרִ֔יעַ וְיָלְדָ֖ה זָכָ֑ר וְטָֽמְאָה֙ שִׁבְעַ֣ת יָמִ֔ים כִּימֵ֛י נִדַּ֥ת דְּוֺתָ֖הּ תִּטְמָֽא׃ # verse = LEV.12.2 1 דַּבֵּ֞ר דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=speak|Ref=LEV_12:2!1|MId=o030120020011|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:030120010041;|Type=imperative 2 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=LEV_12:2!2|MId=o030120020021|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 3 בְּנֵ֤י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 1 obl _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=LEV_12:2!3|MId=o030120020031|Strong=1121 4 יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=LEV_12:2!4|MId=o030120020041|Strong=3478 5-6 לֵאמֹ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 22 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=LEV_12:2!5|MId=o030120020051|Strong=3807a 6 אמֹ֔ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 5 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=LEV_12:2!5|MId=o030120020052|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:030120010041;|Type=infinitive_construct 7 אִשָּׁה֙ אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 22 dislocated _ Gloss=a.woman|Ref=LEV_12:2!6|MId=o030120020061|Strong=0802 8 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=LEV_12:2!7|MId=o030120020071|Strong=3588 9 תַזְרִ֔יעַ זָרַע VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 22 advcl _ Gloss=she.will.bear.a.child|Ref=LEV_12:2!8|MId=o030120020081|Strong=2232|Frame=A0:030120020061;|Type=yiqtol 10-11 וְיָלְדָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_12:2!9|MId=o030120020091|Strong=2050b 11 יָלְדָ֖ה יָלַד VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 9 conj _ Gloss=she.will.bear|Ref=LEV_12:2!9|MId=o030120020092|Strong=3205|Frame=A0:030120020061;A1:030120020101;|Type=weqatal 12 זָכָ֑ר זָכָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obj _ Gloss=a.male|Ref=LEV_12:2!10|MId=o030120020101|Strong=2145|Type=adjective 13-14 וְטָֽמְאָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_12:2!11|MId=o030120020111|Strong=2050b 14 טָֽמְאָה֙ טָמֵא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 22 parataxis _ Gloss=she.will.be.unclean|Ref=LEV_12:2!11|MId=o030120020112|Strong=2930|Frame=A0:030120020061;|Type=weqatal 15 שִׁבְעַ֣ת שֶׁבַע NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nummod _ Gloss=seven|Ref=LEV_12:2!12|MId=o030120020121|Strong=7651|Type=cardinal_number 16 יָמִ֔ים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 obl _ Gloss=days|Ref=LEV_12:2!13|MId=o030120020131|Strong=3117 17-18 כִּימֵ֛י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 כִּ כְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=LEV_12:2!14|MId=o030120020141|Strong=3509a 18 ימֵ֛י יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 22 obl _ Gloss=the.days|Ref=LEV_12:2!14|MId=o030120020142|Strong=3117 19 נִדַּ֥ת נִדָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.impurity|Ref=LEV_12:2!15|MId=o030120020151|Strong=5079 20-21 דְּוֺתָ֖הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 דְּוֺת דָּוָה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 19 acl _ Gloss=of|Ref=LEV_12:2!16|MId=o030120020161|Strong=1738|Type=infinitive_construct 21 ָ֖הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nsubj _ Gloss=her.being.unwell|Ref=LEV_12:2!16|MId=o030120020162|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 22 תִּטְמָֽא טָמֵא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 ccomp _ Gloss=she.will.be.unclean|Ref=LEV_12:2!17|MId=o030120020171|Strong=2930|Frame=A0:030120020061;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=LEV_12:2!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | דַּבֵּר *speak* | imperative · piel | | | | | | אמֹר | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | תַזְרִיעַ *she will bear a child* | yiqtol · hiphil | אִשָּׁה *a woman* | | | | | יָלְדָה *she will bear* | weqatal · qal | אִשָּׁה *a woman* | זָכָר *a male* | | | | טָֽמְאָה *she will be unclean* | weqatal · qal | אִשָּׁה *a woman* | | | | | תִּטְמָֽא *she will be unclean* | yiqtol · qal | אִשָּׁה *a woman* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
