Leviticus 15:16 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Onkelos, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/LEV.15.16/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Torah](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/) / [Leviticus](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/LEV/) / [chapter 15](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/LEV/15/) / 15:16 # Leviticus 15:16 וַיִּקְרָא **Who acts:** flow, seed · **What happens:** go out, bathe, be, flow · **To what, where:** flesh This is Leviticus 15:16 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (The Torah). 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 — flow, seed — and what happens in the verse to flesh, 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. וְאִ֕ישׁ כִּֽי־תֵצֵ֥א מִמֶּ֖נּוּ שִׁכְבַת־זָ֑רַע וְרָחַ֥ץ בַּמַּ֛יִם אֶת־כָּל־בְּשָׂר֖וֹ וְטָמֵ֥א עַד־הָעָֽרֶב׃ [And if the flow of seed go out from a man, then he shall bathe all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.442/) ## 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:438 # text = וְאִ֕ישׁ כִּֽי־תֵצֵ֥א מִמֶּ֖נּוּ שִׁכְבַת־זָ֑רַע וְרָחַ֥ץ בַּמַּ֛יִם אֶת־כָּל־בְּשָׂר֖וֹ וְטָמֵ֥א עַד־הָעָֽרֶב׃ # verse = LEV.15.16 1-2 וְאִ֕ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_15:16!1|MId=o030150160011|Strong=2050b 2 אִ֕ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 dislocated _ Gloss=a.man|Ref=LEV_15:16!1|MId=o030150160012|Strong=0376 3 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=LEV_15:16!2|MId=o030150160021|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 4 תֵצֵ֥א יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 10 advcl _ Gloss=it.will.go.out|Ref=LEV_15:16!3|MId=o030150160031|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:030150160051;|Type=yiqtol 5-6 מִמֶּ֖נּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 מִמּ מִן ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=LEV_15:16!4|MId=o030150160041|Strong=4480 6 ֶ֖נּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=LEV_15:16!4|MId=o030150160042|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 7 שִׁכְבַת־ שְׁכָבָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 nsubj _ Gloss=a.laying|Ref=LEV_15:16!5|MId=o030150160051|Strong=7902|SpaceAfter=No 8 זָ֑רַע זֶרַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.seed|Ref=LEV_15:16!6|MId=o030150160061|Strong=2233 9-10 וְרָחַ֥ץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_15:16!7|MId=o030150160071|Strong=2050b 10 רָחַ֥ץ רָחַץ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.wash|Ref=LEV_15:16!7|MId=o030150160072|Strong=7364|Frame=A0:030150160012;A1:030150160111;|Type=weqatal 11-13 בַּמַּ֛יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=LEV_15:16!8|MId=o030150160081|Strong=0871a 12 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=LEV_15:16!8|MId=o030150160081ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 מַּ֛יִם מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 obl _ Gloss=water|Ref=LEV_15:16!8|MId=o030150160082|Strong=4325 14 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=LEV_15:16!9|MId=o030150160091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 15 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=LEV_15:16!10|MId=o030150160101|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 16-17 בְּשָׂר֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 בְּשָׂר בָּשָׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=body|Ref=LEV_15:16!11|MId=o030150160111|Strong=1320 17 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=LEV_15:16!11|MId=o030150160112|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 18-19 וְטָמֵ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_15:16!12|MId=o030150160121|Strong=2050b 19 טָמֵ֥א טָמֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 10 conj _ Gloss=he.will.be.unclean|Ref=LEV_15:16!12|MId=o030150160122|Strong=2930|Frame=A0:030150160012;|Type=weqatal 20 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=LEV_15:16!13|MId=o030150160131|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 21-22 הָעָֽרֶב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_15:16!14|MId=o030150160141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 עָֽרֶב עֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=evening|Ref=LEV_15:16!14|MId=o030150160142|Strong=6153 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=LEV_15:16!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תֵצֵא *it will go out* | yiqtol · qal | שִׁכְבַת־ *a laying* | | | | | רָחַץ *he will wash* | weqatal · qal | אִישׁ *a man* | בְּשָׂר *body* | | | | טָמֵא *he will be unclean* | weqatal · qal | אִישׁ *a man* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
