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 — bright spot, spot, priest — and what happens in the verse to place, skin, rising, hair, scar, 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־תַּחְתֶּיהָ֩ תַעֲמֹ֨ד הַבַּהֶ֜רֶת לֹא־פָשְׂתָ֤ה בָעוֹר֙ וְהִ֣וא כֵהָ֔ה שְׂאֵ֥ת הַמִּכְוָ֖ה הִ֑וא וְטִֽהֲרוֹ֙ הַכֹּהֵ֔ן כִּֽי־צָרֶ֥בֶת הַמִּכְוָ֖ה הִֽוא׃פ [And if the bright spot stay in its place, and be not spread in the skin, but be dim, it is the rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is the scar of the burning.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.338/) ## 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:334 # text = וְאִם־תַּחְתֶּיהָ֩ תַעֲמֹ֨ד הַבַּהֶ֜רֶת לֹא־פָשְׂתָ֤ה בָעוֹר֙ וְהִ֣וא כֵהָ֔ה שְׂאֵ֥ת הַמִּכְוָ֖ה הִ֑וא וְטִֽהֲרוֹ֙ הַכֹּהֵ֔ן כִּֽי־צָרֶ֥בֶת הַמִּכְוָ֖ה הִֽוא׃פ # verse = LEV.13.28 1-2 וְאִם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_13:28!1|MId=o030130280011|Strong=2050b 2 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=LEV_13:28!1|MId=o030130280012|Strong=0518 3-4 תַּחְתֶּיהָ֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 תַּחְתֶּי תַּחַת NOUN _ _ 5 obl _ Gloss=in|Ref=LEV_13:28!2|MId=o030130280021|Strong=8478 4 הָ֩ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its.place|Ref=LEV_13:28!2|MId=o030130280022|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 5 תַעֲמֹ֨ד עָמַד VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.will.stay|Ref=LEV_13:28!3|MId=o030130280031|Strong=5975|Frame=A0:030130280042;|Type=yiqtol 6-7 הַבַּהֶ֜רֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the.bright|Ref=LEV_13:28!4|MId=o030130280041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 בַּהֶ֜רֶת בַּהֶרֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 nsubj _ Gloss=spot|Ref=LEV_13:28!4|MId=o030130280042|Strong=0934 8 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 9 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=LEV_13:28!5|MId=o030130280051|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 9 פָשְׂתָ֤ה פָּשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 parataxis _ Gloss=it.has.spread|Ref=LEV_13:28!6|MId=o030130280061|Strong=6581|Frame=A0:030130280042;|Type=qatal 10-12 בָעוֹר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בָ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=LEV_13:28!7|MId=o030130280071|Strong=0871a 11 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_13:28!7|MId=o030130280071ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 עוֹר֙ עוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=skin|Ref=LEV_13:28!7|MId=o030130280072|Strong=5785 13-14 וְהִ֣וא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_13:28!8|MId=o030130280081|Strong=2050b 14 הִ֣וא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=LEV_13:28!8|MId=o030130280082|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 15 כֵהָ֔ה כֵּהֶה ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 conj _ Gloss=[is].dull|Ref=LEV_13:28!9|MId=o030130280091|Strong=3544|Type=adjective 16 שְׂאֵ֥ת שְׂאֵת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 parataxis _ Gloss=[is].the.swelling|Ref=LEV_13:28!10|MId=o030130280101|Strong=7613a 17-18 הַמִּכְוָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=LEV_13:28!11|MId=o030130280111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 מִּכְוָ֖ה מִכְוָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.burn|Ref=LEV_13:28!11|MId=o030130280112|Strong=4348 19 הִ֑וא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=LEV_13:28!12|MId=o030130280121|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 20-22 וְטִֽהֲרוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_13:28!13|MId=o030130280131|Strong=2050b 21 טִֽהֲר טָהֵר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 16 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=LEV_13:28!13|MId=o030130280132|Strong=2891|Frame=A1:030130280133;A0:030130280142;|Type=weqatal 22 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 obj _ Gloss=will.declare.him.pure|Ref=LEV_13:28!13|MId=o030130280133|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23-24 הַכֹּהֵ֔ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_13:28!14|MId=o030130280141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 כֹּהֵ֔ן כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=priest|Ref=LEV_13:28!14|MId=o030130280142|Strong=3548 25 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 26 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=LEV_13:28!15|MId=o030130280151|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 26 צָרֶ֥בֶת צָרֶבֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 parataxis _ Gloss=[is].the.scar|Ref=LEV_13:28!16|MId=o030130280161|Strong=6867 27-28 הַמִּכְוָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=LEV_13:28!17|MId=o030130280171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 מִּכְוָ֖ה מִכְוָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 26 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.burn|Ref=LEV_13:28!17|MId=o030130280172|Strong=4348 29 הִֽוא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=LEV_13:28!18|MId=o030130280181|Strong=1931a|Type=personal|SpaceAfter=No 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=LEV_13:28!18|SpaceAfter=No 31 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=LEV_13:28!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תַעֲמֹד *it will stay* | yiqtol · qal | בַּהֶרֶת *spot* | | | | | **not** פָשְׂתָה *it has spread* | qatal · qal | בַּהֶרֶת *spot* | | | | | טִֽהֲר *he* | weqatal · piel | כֹּהֵן *priest* | וֹ *will declare him pure* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
