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 — scall, priest — and what happens in the verse to appearance, black hair, scall, 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־בְּעֵינָיו֩ עָמַ֨ד הַנֶּ֜תֶק וְשֵׂעָ֨ר שָׁחֹ֧ר צָֽמַח־בּ֛וֹ נִרְפָּ֥א הַנֶּ֖תֶק טָה֣וֹר ה֑וּא וְטִהֲר֖וֹ הַכֹּהֵֽן׃ס [But if the scall stay in its appearance, and black hair be grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.347/) ## 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:343 # text = וְאִם־בְּעֵינָיו֩ עָמַ֨ד הַנֶּ֜תֶק וְשֵׂעָ֨ר שָׁחֹ֧ר צָֽמַח־בּ֛וֹ נִרְפָּ֥א הַנֶּ֖תֶק טָה֣וֹר ה֑וּא וְטִהֲר֖וֹ הַכֹּהֵֽן׃ס # verse = LEV.13.37 1-2 וְאִם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_13:37!1|MId=o030130370011|Strong=2050b 2 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 6 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=LEV_13:37!1|MId=o030130370012|Strong=0518 3-5 בְּעֵינָיו֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=LEV_13:37!2|MId=o030130370021|Strong=0871a 4 עֵינָי עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 6 obl _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=LEV_13:37!2|MId=o030130370022|Strong=5869 5 ו֩ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=LEV_13:37!2|MId=o030130370023|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 6 עָמַ֨ד עָמַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 15 advcl _ Gloss=it.has.stayed|Ref=LEV_13:37!3|MId=o030130370031|Strong=5975|Frame=A0:030130370042;|Type=qatal 7-8 הַנֶּ֜תֶק _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_13:37!4|MId=o030130370041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 נֶּ֜תֶק נֶתֶק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 nsubj _ Gloss=scall|Ref=LEV_13:37!4|MId=o030130370042|Strong=5424 9-10 וְשֵׂעָ֨ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_13:37!5|MId=o030130370051|Strong=2050b 10 שֵׂעָ֨ר שֵׂעָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nsubj _ Gloss=hair|Ref=LEV_13:37!5|MId=o030130370052|Strong=8181 11 שָׁחֹ֧ר שָׁחֹר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 amod _ Gloss=black|Ref=LEV_13:37!6|MId=o030130370061|Strong=7838|Type=adjective 12 צָֽמַח־ צָמַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 conj _ Gloss=it.has.sprouted|Ref=LEV_13:37!7|MId=o030130370071|Strong=6779|Frame=A0:030130370052;|Type=qatal|SpaceAfter=No 13-14 בּ֛וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=LEV_13:37!8|MId=o030130370081|Strong=0871a 14 ֛וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=LEV_13:37!8|MId=o030130370082|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 15 נִרְפָּ֥א רָפָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.has.been.healed|Ref=LEV_13:37!9|MId=o030130370091|Strong=7495|Frame=A1:030130370102;|Type=qatal 16-17 הַנֶּ֖תֶק _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_13:37!10|MId=o030130370101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 נֶּ֖תֶק נֶתֶק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 nsubj _ Gloss=scall|Ref=LEV_13:37!10|MId=o030130370102|Strong=5424 18 טָה֣וֹר טָהֹר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 parataxis _ Gloss=[is].pure|Ref=LEV_13:37!11|MId=o030130370111|Strong=2889|Type=adjective 19 ה֑וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=LEV_13:37!12|MId=o030130370121|Strong=1931|Type=personal 20-22 וְטִהֲר֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_13:37!13|MId=o030130370131|Strong=2050b 21 טִהֲר טָהֵר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 15 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=LEV_13:37!13|MId=o030130370132|Strong=2891|Frame=A1:030130370133;A0:030130370142;|Type=weqatal 22 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 obj _ Gloss=will.declare.him.pure|Ref=LEV_13:37!13|MId=o030130370133|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23-24 הַכֹּהֵֽן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_13:37!14|MId=o030130370141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 כֹּהֵֽן כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=priest|Ref=LEV_13:37!14|MId=o030130370142|Strong=3548 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=LEV_13:37!14|SpaceAfter=No 26 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=LEV_13:37!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | עָמַד *it has stayed* | qatal · qal | נֶּתֶק *scall* | | | | | צָֽמַח־ *it has sprouted* | qatal · qal | שֵׂעָר *hair* | | | | | נִרְפָּא *it has been healed* | qatal · niphal | | נֶּתֶק *scall* | | | | טִהֲר *he* | weqatal · piel | כֹּהֵֽן *priest* | וֹ *will declare him pure* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
