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 — priest — and what happens in the verse to plague, leprosy, 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. וְרָאָ֙הוּ֙ הַכֹּהֵ֔ן וְהִנֵּ֛ה נֶהְפַּ֥ךְ הַנֶּ֖גַע לְלָבָ֑ן וְטִהַ֧ר הַכֹּהֵ֛ן אֶת־הַנֶּ֖גַע טָה֥וֹר הֽוּא׃פ [and the priest shall look on him; and, behold, if the plague be turned into white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: he is clean.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.327/) ## 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:323 # text = וְרָאָ֙הוּ֙ הַכֹּהֵ֔ן וְהִנֵּ֛ה נֶהְפַּ֥ךְ הַנֶּ֖גַע לְלָבָ֑ן וְטִהַ֧ר הַכֹּהֵ֛ן אֶת־הַנֶּ֖גַע טָה֥וֹר הֽוּא׃פ # verse = LEV.13.17 1-3 וְרָאָ֙הוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_13:17!1|MId=o030130170011|Strong=2050b 2 רָא רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he|Ref=LEV_13:17!1|MId=o030130170012|Strong=7200|Frame=A1:030130170013;A0:030130170022;|Type=weqatal 3 ָ֙הוּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obj _ Gloss=will.see.it|Ref=LEV_13:17!1|MId=o030130170013|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 4-5 הַכֹּהֵ֔ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_13:17!2|MId=o030130170021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 כֹּהֵ֔ן כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=priest|Ref=LEV_13:17!2|MId=o030130170022|Strong=3548 6-7 וְהִנֵּ֛ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_13:17!3|MId=o030130170031|Strong=2050b 7 הִנֵּ֛ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 8 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=LEV_13:17!3|MId=o030130170032|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 8 נֶהְפַּ֥ךְ הָפַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.has.been.turned|Ref=LEV_13:17!4|MId=o030130170041|Strong=2015|Frame=A1:030130170052;|Type=qatal 9-10 הַנֶּ֖גַע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_13:17!5|MId=o030130170051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 נֶּ֖גַע נֶגַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 nsubj _ Gloss=plague|Ref=LEV_13:17!5|MId=o030130170052|Strong=5061 11-12 לְלָבָ֑ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=LEV_13:17!6|MId=o030130170061|Strong=3807a 12 לָבָ֑ן לָבָן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=white|Ref=LEV_13:17!6|MId=o030130170062|Strong=3836|Type=adjective 13-14 וְטִהַ֧ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_13:17!7|MId=o030130170071|Strong=2050b 14 טִהַ֧ר טָהֵר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.will.declare.pure|Ref=LEV_13:17!7|MId=o030130170072|Strong=2891|Frame=A0:030130170082;A1:030130170102;|Type=weqatal 15-16 הַכֹּהֵ֛ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_13:17!8|MId=o030130170081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 כֹּהֵ֛ן כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 nsubj _ Gloss=priest|Ref=LEV_13:17!8|MId=o030130170082|Strong=3548 17 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=LEV_13:17!9|MId=o030130170091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 18-19 הַנֶּ֖גַע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=the.plagued|Ref=LEV_13:17!10|MId=o030130170101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 נֶּ֖גַע נֶגַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=[person]|Ref=LEV_13:17!10|MId=o030130170102|Strong=5061 20 טָה֥וֹר טָהֹר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 parataxis _ Gloss=[is].pure|Ref=LEV_13:17!11|MId=o030130170111|Strong=2889|Type=adjective 21 הֽוּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=LEV_13:17!12|MId=o030130170121|Strong=1931|Type=personal|SpaceAfter=No 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=LEV_13:17!12|SpaceAfter=No 23 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=LEV_13:17!12 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | רָא *he* | weqatal · qal | כֹּהֵן *priest* | ָהוּ *will see it* | | | | נֶהְפַּךְ *it has been turned* | qatal · niphal | | נֶּגַע *plague* | | | | טִהַר *he will declare pure* | weqatal · piel | כֹּהֵן *priest* | נֶּגַע *\[person\]* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
