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 — plague, house — and what happens in the verse to living bird, city, atonement, 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. וְשִׁלַּ֞ח אֶת־הַצִּפֹּ֧ר הַֽחַיָּ֛ה אֶל־מִח֥וּץ לָעִ֖יר אֶל־פְּנֵ֣י הַשָּׂדֶ֑ה וְכִפֶּ֥ר עַל־הַבַּ֖יִת וְטָהֵֽר׃ [But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open field; so shall he make atonement for the house; and it shall be clean.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.422/) ## 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:418 # text = וְשִׁלַּ֞ח אֶת־הַצִּפֹּ֧ר הַֽחַיָּ֛ה אֶל־מִח֥וּץ לָעִ֖יר אֶל־פְּנֵ֣י הַשָּׂדֶ֑ה וְכִפֶּ֥ר עַל־הַבַּ֖יִת וְטָהֵֽר׃ # verse = LEV.14.53 1-2 וְשִׁלַּ֞ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_14:53!1|MId=o030140530011|Strong=2050b 2 שִׁלַּ֞ח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.let.go|Ref=LEV_14:53!1|MId=o030140530012|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:030140480162;A1:030140530032;|Type=weqatal 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=LEV_14:53!2|MId=o030140530021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 הַצִּפֹּ֧ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_14:53!3|MId=o030140530031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 צִּפֹּ֧ר צִפּוֹר NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=bird|Ref=LEV_14:53!3|MId=o030140530032|Strong=6833 6-7 הַֽחַיָּ֛ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=LEV_14:53!4|MId=o030140530041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 חַיָּ֛ה חַי ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 amod _ Gloss=living|Ref=LEV_14:53!4|MId=o030140530042|Strong=2416a|Type=adjective 8 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=LEV_14:53!5|MId=o030140530051|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 מִח֥וּץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=from.[the]|Ref=LEV_14:53!6|MId=o030140530061|Strong=4480 10 ח֥וּץ חוּץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=outside|Ref=LEV_14:53!6|MId=o030140530062|Strong=2351 11-13 לָעִ֖יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=LEV_14:53!7|MId=o030140530071|Strong=3807a 12 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_14:53!7|MId=o030140530071ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 עִ֖יר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 nmod _ Gloss=city|Ref=LEV_14:53!7|MId=o030140530072|Strong=5892 14 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=LEV_14:53!8|MId=o030140530081|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 15 פְּנֵ֣י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=the.surface|Ref=LEV_14:53!9|MId=o030140530091|Strong=6440 16-17 הַשָּׂדֶ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=LEV_14:53!10|MId=o030140530101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 שָּׂדֶ֑ה שָׂדֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.field|Ref=LEV_14:53!10|MId=o030140530102|Strong=7704 18-19 וְכִפֶּ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_14:53!11|MId=o030140530111|Strong=2050b 19 כִפֶּ֥ר כִּפֶּר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.will.make.atonement|Ref=LEV_14:53!11|MId=o030140530112|Strong=3722|Frame=A0:030140480162;|Type=weqatal 20 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=LEV_14:53!12|MId=o030140530121|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 21-22 הַבַּ֖יִת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_14:53!13|MId=o030140530131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 בַּ֖יִת בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=house|Ref=LEV_14:53!13|MId=o030140530132|Strong=1004 23-24 וְטָהֵֽר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_14:53!14|MId=o030140530141|Strong=2050b 24 טָהֵֽר טָהֵר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.will.be.pure|Ref=LEV_14:53!14|MId=o030140530142|Strong=2891|Frame=A0:030140530132;|Type=weqatal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=LEV_14:53!14 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שִׁלַּח *he will let go* | weqatal · piel | | צִּפֹּר *bird* | | | | כִפֶּר *he will make atonement* | weqatal · piel | | | | | | טָהֵֽר *it will be pure* | weqatal · qal | בַּיִת *house* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
