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, oil — and what happens in the verse to right finger, oil, left hand, 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. וְטָבַ֤ל הַכֹּהֵן֙ אֶת־אֶצְבָּע֣וֹ הַיְמָנִ֔ית מִן־הַשֶּׁ֕מֶן אֲשֶׁ֥ר עַל־כַּפּ֖וֹ הַשְּׂמָאלִ֑ית וְהִזָּ֨ה מִן־הַשֶּׁ֧מֶן בְּאֶצְבָּע֛וֹ שֶׁ֥בַע פְּעָמִ֖ים לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ [And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.385/) ## 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:381 # text = וְטָבַ֤ל הַכֹּהֵן֙ אֶת־אֶצְבָּע֣וֹ הַיְמָנִ֔ית מִן־הַשֶּׁ֕מֶן אֲשֶׁ֥ר עַל־כַּפּ֖וֹ הַשְּׂמָאלִ֑ית וְהִזָּ֨ה מִן־הַשֶּׁ֧מֶן בְּאֶצְבָּע֛וֹ שֶׁ֥בַע פְּעָמִ֖ים לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ # verse = LEV.14.16 1-2 וְטָבַ֤ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_14:16!1|MId=o030140160011|Strong=2050b 2 טָבַ֤ל טָבַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.dip|Ref=LEV_14:16!1|MId=o030140160012|Strong=2881|Frame=A0:030140160022;A1:030140160041;|Type=weqatal 3-4 הַכֹּהֵן֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_14:16!2|MId=o030140160021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 כֹּהֵן֙ כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=priest|Ref=LEV_14:16!2|MId=o030140160022|Strong=3548 5 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=LEV_14:16!3|MId=o030140160031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 אֶצְבָּע֣וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 אֶצְבָּע אֶצְבַּע NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=finger|Ref=LEV_14:16!4|MId=o030140160041|Strong=0676 7 ֣וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=LEV_14:16!4|MId=o030140160042|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 8-9 הַיְמָנִ֔ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=LEV_14:16!5|MId=o030140160051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 יְמָנִ֔ית יְמָנִי ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 amod _ Gloss=right|Ref=LEV_14:16!5|MId=o030140160052|Strong=3233|Type=adjective 10 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=some.of|Ref=LEV_14:16!6|MId=o030140160061|Strong=4480|SpaceAfter=No 11-12 הַשֶּׁ֕מֶן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_14:16!7|MId=o030140160071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 שֶּׁ֕מֶן שֶׁמֶן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=oil|Ref=LEV_14:16!7|MId=o030140160072|Strong=8081 13 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 15 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=LEV_14:16!8|MId=o030140160081|Strong=0834|Type=relative 14 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=[is].on|Ref=LEV_14:16!9|MId=o030140160091|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 15-16 כַּפּ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 כַּפּ כַּף NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 acl:relcl _ Gloss=palm|Ref=LEV_14:16!10|MId=o030140160101|Strong=3709 16 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=LEV_14:16!10|MId=o030140160102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 17-18 הַשְּׂמָאלִ֑ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=LEV_14:16!11|MId=o030140160111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 שְּׂמָאלִ֑ית שְׂמָאלִי ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 15 amod _ Gloss=left|Ref=LEV_14:16!11|MId=o030140160112|Strong=8042|Type=adjective 19-20 וְהִזָּ֨ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_14:16!12|MId=o030140160121|Strong=2050b 20 הִזָּ֨ה נָזָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.will.spatter|Ref=LEV_14:16!12|MId=o030140160122|Strong=5137|Frame=A0:030140160022;|Type=weqatal 21 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=some.of|Ref=LEV_14:16!13|MId=o030140160131|Strong=4480|SpaceAfter=No 22-23 הַשֶּׁ֧מֶן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_14:16!14|MId=o030140160141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 שֶּׁ֧מֶן שֶׁמֶן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=oil|Ref=LEV_14:16!14|MId=o030140160142|Strong=8081 24-26 בְּאֶצְבָּע֛וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=LEV_14:16!15|MId=o030140160151|Strong=0871a 25 אֶצְבָּע אֶצְבַּע NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=finger|Ref=LEV_14:16!15|MId=o030140160152|Strong=0676 26 ֛וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=LEV_14:16!15|MId=o030140160153|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 27 שֶׁ֥בַע שֶׁבַע NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 28 nummod _ Gloss=seven|Ref=LEV_14:16!16|MId=o030140160161|Strong=7651|Type=cardinal_number 28 פְּעָמִ֖ים פַּעַם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 20 obl _ Gloss=times|Ref=LEV_14:16!17|MId=o030140160171|Strong=6471 29-30 לִפְנֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=LEV_14:16!18|MId=o030140160181|Strong=3807a 30 פְנֵ֥י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 20 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=LEV_14:16!18|MId=o030140160182|Strong=6440 31 יְהוָֽה יהוה PROPN _ _ 30 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=LEV_14:16!19|MId=o030140160191|Strong=3068|SpaceAfter=No 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=LEV_14:16!19 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | טָבַל *he will dip* | weqatal · qal | כֹּהֵן *priest* | אֶצְבָּע *finger* | | | | הִזָּה *he will spatter* | weqatal · hiphil | כֹּהֵן *priest* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
