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, plague — and what happens in the verse to leprous man, man, head, 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. אִישׁ־צָר֥וּעַ ה֖וּא טָמֵ֣א ה֑וּא טַמֵּ֧א יְטַמְּאֶ֛נּוּ הַכֹּהֵ֖ן בְּרֹאשׁ֥וֹ נִגְעֽוֹ׃ [he is a leprous man, he is unclean; the priest shall surely pronounce him unclean: his plague is in his head.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.354/) ## 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:350 # text = אִישׁ־צָר֥וּעַ ה֖וּא טָמֵ֣א ה֑וּא טַמֵּ֧א יְטַמְּאֶ֛נּוּ הַכֹּהֵ֖ן בְּרֹאשׁ֥וֹ נִגְעֽוֹ׃ # verse = LEV.13.44 1 אִישׁ־ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[is].a.person|Ref=LEV_13:44!1|MId=o030130440011|Strong=0376|SpaceAfter=No 2 צָר֥וּעַ צָרַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 1 nmod _ Gloss=[who].has.a.serious.skin.disease|Ref=LEV_13:44!2|MId=o030130440021|Strong=6879|Frame=A0:030130440011;|Type=participle_passive 3 ה֖וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 1 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=LEV_13:44!3|MId=o030130440031|Strong=1931|Type=personal 4 טָמֵ֣א טָמֵא ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 parataxis _ Gloss=[is].unclean|Ref=LEV_13:44!4|MId=o030130440041|Strong=2931|Type=adjective 5 ה֑וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=LEV_13:44!5|MId=o030130440051|Strong=1931|Type=personal 6 טַמֵּ֧א טָמֵא VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 7 obl:npmod _ Gloss=surely.(declare.unclean)|Ref=LEV_13:44!6|MId=o030130440061|Strong=2930|Type=infinitive_absolute 7-8 יְטַמְּאֶ֛נּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 יְטַמְּא טָמֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=he|Ref=LEV_13:44!7|MId=o030130440071|Strong=2930|Frame=A1:030130440072;A0:030130440082;|Type=yiqtol 8 ֶ֛נּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 obj _ Gloss=will.declare.him.unclean|Ref=LEV_13:44!7|MId=o030130440072|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 9-10 הַכֹּהֵ֖ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_13:44!8|MId=o030130440081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 כֹּהֵ֖ן כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=priest|Ref=LEV_13:44!8|MId=o030130440082|Strong=3548 11-13 בְּרֹאשׁ֥וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=[is].on|Ref=LEV_13:44!9|MId=o030130440091|Strong=0871a 12 רֹאשׁ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 parataxis _ Gloss=head|Ref=LEV_13:44!9|MId=o030130440092|Strong=7218 13 ֥וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=LEV_13:44!9|MId=o030130440093|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 14-15 נִגְעֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 נִגְע נֶגַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nsubj _ Gloss=plague|Ref=LEV_13:44!10|MId=o030130440101|Strong=5061 15 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=LEV_13:44!10|MId=o030130440102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 16 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 15 punct _ Ref=LEV_13:44!10 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | צָרוּעַ *\[who\] has a serious skin disease* | participle passive · qal | אִישׁ־ *\[is\] a person* | | | | | יְטַמְּא *he* | yiqtol · piel | כֹּהֵן *priest* | ֶנּוּ *will declare him unclean* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
