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, appearance, priest — and what happens in the verse to skin, hair, plague, 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־בַּהֶרֶת֩ לְבָנָ֨ה הִ֜וא בְּע֣וֹר בְּשָׂר֗וֹ וְעָמֹק֙ אֵין־מַרְאֶ֣הָ מִן־הָע֔וֹר וּשְׂעָרָ֖ה לֹא־הָפַ֣ךְ לָבָ֑ן וְהִסְגִּ֧יר הַכֹּהֵ֛ן אֶת־הַנֶּ֖גַע שִׁבְעַ֥ת יָמִֽים׃ [And if the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and the appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white, then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.314/) ## 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:310 # text = וְאִם־בַּהֶרֶת֩ לְבָנָ֨ה הִ֜וא בְּע֣וֹר בְּשָׂר֗וֹ וְעָמֹק֙ אֵין־מַרְאֶ֣הָ מִן־הָע֔וֹר וּשְׂעָרָ֖ה לֹא־הָפַ֣ךְ לָבָ֑ן וְהִסְגִּ֧יר הַכֹּהֵ֛ן אֶת־הַנֶּ֖גַע שִׁבְעַ֥ת יָמִֽים׃ # verse = LEV.13.4 1-2 וְאִם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_13:4!1|MId=o030130040011|Strong=2050b 2 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 3 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=LEV_13:4!1|MId=o030130040012|Strong=0518 3 בַּהֶרֶת֩ בַּהֶרֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 25 advcl _ Gloss=[is].a.bright.spot|Ref=LEV_13:4!2|MId=o030130040021|Strong=0934 4 לְבָנָ֨ה לָבָן ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 parataxis _ Gloss=white|Ref=LEV_13:4!3|MId=o030130040031|Strong=3836|Type=adjective 5 הִ֜וא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=LEV_13:4!4|MId=o030130040041|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 6-7 בְּע֣וֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=LEV_13:4!5|MId=o030130040051|Strong=0871a 7 ע֣וֹר עוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obl _ Gloss=the.skin|Ref=LEV_13:4!5|MId=o030130040052|Strong=5785 8-9 בְּשָׂר֗וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בְּשָׂר בָּשָׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.flesh|Ref=LEV_13:4!6|MId=o030130040061|Strong=1320 9 ֗וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=LEV_13:4!6|MId=o030130040062|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 10-11 וְעָמֹק֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and.[is]|Ref=LEV_13:4!7|MId=o030130040071|Strong=2050b 11 עָמֹק֙ עָמֹק ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=deep|Ref=LEV_13:4!7|MId=o030130040072|Strong=6013|Type=adjective 12 אֵין־ אַיִן ADV _ _ 11 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=LEV_13:4!8|MId=o030130040081|Strong=0369|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 13-14 מַרְאֶ֣הָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 מַרְא מַרְאֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 nsubj _ Gloss=appearance|Ref=LEV_13:4!9|MId=o030130040091|Strong=4758 14 ֶ֣הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=LEV_13:4!9|MId=o030130040092|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 15 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=more.than|Ref=LEV_13:4!10|MId=o030130040101|Strong=4480|SpaceAfter=No 16-17 הָע֔וֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_13:4!11|MId=o030130040111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 ע֔וֹר עוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=skin|Ref=LEV_13:4!11|MId=o030130040112|Strong=5785 18-20 וּשְׂעָרָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_13:4!12|MId=o030130040121|Strong=2050b 19 שְׂעָר שֵׂעָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 nsubj _ Gloss=hair|Ref=LEV_13:4!12|MId=o030130040122|Strong=8181 20 ָ֖ה הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=LEV_13:4!12|MId=o030130040123|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 21 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 22 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=LEV_13:4!13|MId=o030130040131|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 22 הָפַ֣ךְ הָפַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=it.has.turned|Ref=LEV_13:4!14|MId=o030130040141|Strong=2015|Frame=A0:030130040122;A1:030130040151;|Type=qatal 23 לָבָ֑ן לָבָן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obj _ Gloss=white|Ref=LEV_13:4!15|MId=o030130040151|Strong=3836|Type=adjective 24-25 וְהִסְגִּ֧יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_13:4!16|MId=o030130040161|Strong=2050b 25 הִסְגִּ֧יר סָגַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.shut.up|Ref=LEV_13:4!16|MId=o030130040162|Strong=5462|Frame=AA:030130040172;A0:030130040192;|Type=weqatal 26-27 הַכֹּהֵ֛ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_13:4!17|MId=o030130040171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 כֹּהֵ֛ן כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 nsubj _ Gloss=priest|Ref=LEV_13:4!17|MId=o030130040172|Strong=3548 28 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=LEV_13:4!18|MId=o030130040181|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 29-30 הַנֶּ֖גַע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 30 det _ Gloss=the.plagued|Ref=LEV_13:4!19|MId=o030130040191|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 30 נֶּ֖גַע נֶגַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 obj _ Gloss=[person]|Ref=LEV_13:4!19|MId=o030130040192|Strong=5061 31 שִׁבְעַ֥ת שֶׁבַע NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 32 nummod _ Gloss=seven|Ref=LEV_13:4!20|MId=o030130040201|Strong=7651|Type=cardinal_number 32 יָמִֽים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 25 obl _ Gloss=days|Ref=LEV_13:4!21|MId=o030130040211|Strong=3117|SpaceAfter=No 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=LEV_13:4!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
