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 — suffice, flesh, priest — and what happens in the verse to two turtle doves, atonement, 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. וְאִם־לֹ֨א תִמְצָ֣א יָדָהּ֮ דֵּ֣י שֶׂה֒ וְלָקְחָ֣ה שְׁתֵּֽי־תֹרִ֗ים א֤וֹ שְׁנֵי֙ בְּנֵ֣י יוֹנָ֔ה אֶחָ֥ד לְעֹלָ֖ה וְאֶחָ֣ד לְחַטָּ֑את וְכִפֶּ֥ר עָלֶ֛יהָ הַכֹּהֵ֖ן וְטָהֵֽרָה׃פ [And if her means suffice not for a lamb, then she shall take two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons: the one for a burnt-offering, and the other for a sin-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.310/) ## 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:306 # text = וְאִם־לֹ֨א תִמְצָ֣א יָדָהּ֮ דֵּ֣י שֶׂה֒ וְלָקְחָ֣ה שְׁתֵּֽי־תֹרִ֗ים א֤וֹ שְׁנֵי֙ בְּנֵ֣י יוֹנָ֔ה אֶחָ֥ד לְעֹלָ֖ה וְאֶחָ֣ד לְחַטָּ֑את וְכִפֶּ֥ר עָלֶ֛יהָ הַכֹּהֵ֖ן וְטָהֵֽרָה׃פ # verse = LEV.12.8 1-2 וְאִם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_12:8!1|MId=o030120080011|Strong=2050b 2 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=LEV_12:8!1|MId=o030120080012|Strong=0518 3 לֹ֨א לֹא ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=LEV_12:8!2|MId=o030120080021|Strong=3808|Type=negative 4 תִמְצָ֣א מָצָא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 17 advcl _ Gloss=it.will.find|Ref=LEV_12:8!3|MId=o030120080031|Strong=4672|Frame=A0:030120080041;A1:030120080051;|Type=yiqtol 5-6 יָדָהּ֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 4 nsubj _ Gloss=hand|Ref=LEV_12:8!4|MId=o030120080041|Strong=3027 6 ָהּ֮ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=LEV_12:8!4|MId=o030120080042|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 7 דֵּ֣י דַּי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obj _ Gloss=sufficiency|Ref=LEV_12:8!5|MId=o030120080051|Strong=1767 8 שֶׂה֒ שֶׂה NOUN _ Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.sheep|Ref=LEV_12:8!6|MId=o030120080061|Strong=7716 9-10 וְלָקְחָ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_12:8!7|MId=o030120080071|Strong=2050b 10 לָקְחָ֣ה לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 17 parataxis _ Gloss=she.will.take|Ref=LEV_12:8!7|MId=o030120080072|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:030120070112;A1:030120080091;030120080121;|Type=weqatal 11 שְׁתֵּֽי־ שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 12 nummod _ Gloss=two|Ref=LEV_12:8!8|MId=o030120080081|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number|SpaceAfter=No 12 תֹרִ֗ים תֹּור NOUN _ Number=Plur 10 obj _ Gloss=turtle-doves|Ref=LEV_12:8!9|MId=o030120080091|Strong=8449 13 א֤וֹ אוֹ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=or|Ref=LEV_12:8!10|MId=o030120080101|Strong=0176 14 שְׁנֵי֙ שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 15 nummod _ Gloss=two|Ref=LEV_12:8!11|MId=o030120080111|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 15 בְּנֵ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 conj _ Gloss=young.ones|Ref=LEV_12:8!12|MId=o030120080121|Strong=1121 16 יוֹנָ֔ה יוֹנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.dove|Ref=LEV_12:8!13|MId=o030120080131|Strong=3123 17 אֶחָ֥ד אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=one|Ref=LEV_12:8!14|MId=o030120080141|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 18-19 לְעֹלָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=LEV_12:8!15|MId=o030120080151|Strong=3807a 19 עֹלָ֖ה עֹלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=a.burnt.offering|Ref=LEV_12:8!15|MId=o030120080152|Strong=5930 20-21 וְאֶחָ֣ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_12:8!16|MId=o030120080161|Strong=2050b 21 אֶחָ֣ד אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 conj _ Gloss=one|Ref=LEV_12:8!16|MId=o030120080162|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 22-23 לְחַטָּ֑את _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=LEV_12:8!17|MId=o030120080171|Strong=3807a 23 חַטָּ֑את חַטָּאת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=a.sin.offering|Ref=LEV_12:8!17|MId=o030120080172|Strong=2403 24-25 וְכִפֶּ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_12:8!18|MId=o030120080181|Strong=2050b 25 כִפֶּ֥ר כִּפֶּר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 17 conj _ Gloss=he.will.make.atonement|Ref=LEV_12:8!18|MId=o030120080182|Strong=3722|Frame=A0:030120080202;|Type=weqatal 26-27 עָלֶ֛יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 עָלֶ֛י עַל ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=LEV_12:8!19|MId=o030120080191|Strong=5921 27 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 obl _ Gloss=her|Ref=LEV_12:8!19|MId=o030120080192|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 28-29 הַכֹּהֵ֖ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 29 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_12:8!20|MId=o030120080201|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 29 כֹּהֵ֖ן כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 nsubj _ Gloss=priest|Ref=LEV_12:8!20|MId=o030120080202|Strong=3548 30-31 וְטָהֵֽרָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 31 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_12:8!21|MId=o030120080211|Strong=2050b 31 טָהֵֽרָה טָהֵר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 17 conj _ Gloss=she.will.be.pure|Ref=LEV_12:8!21|MId=o030120080212|Strong=2891|Frame=A0:030120070112;|Type=weqatal 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=LEV_12:8!21|SpaceAfter=No 33 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=LEV_12:8!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
