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 — this, priest, LORD — and what happens in the verse to everlasting statute, atonement, Moses, 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. וְהָֽיְתָה־זֹּ֨את לָכֶ֜ם לְחֻקַּ֣ת עוֹלָ֗ם לְכַפֵּ֞ר עַל־בְּנֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ מִכָּל־חַטֹּאתָ֔ם אַחַ֖ת בַּשָּׁנָ֑ה וַיַּ֕עַשׂ כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר צִוָּ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה אֶת־מֹשֶֽׁה׃פ [And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make atonement for the children of Israel because of all their sins once in the year.'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:LEV:489 # text = וְהָֽיְתָה־זֹּ֨את לָכֶ֜ם לְחֻקַּ֣ת עוֹלָ֗ם לְכַפֵּ֞ר עַל־בְּנֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ מִכָּל־חַטֹּאתָ֔ם אַחַ֖ת בַּשָּׁנָ֑ה וַיַּ֕עַשׂ כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר צִוָּ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה אֶת־מֹשֶֽׁה׃פ # verse = LEV.16.34 1-2 וְהָֽיְתָה־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_16:34!1|MId=o030160340011|Strong=2050b 2 הָֽיְתָה־ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 cop _ Gloss=it.will.become|Ref=LEV_16:34!1|MId=o030160340012|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:030160340021;|Type=weqatal 3 זֹּ֨את זֹאת PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 7 nsubj _ Gloss=this|Ref=LEV_16:34!2|MId=o030160340021|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 4-5 לָכֶ֜ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 ל לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=LEV_16:34!3|MId=o030160340031|Strong=3807a 5 ָכֶ֜ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=LEV_16:34!3|MId=o030160340032|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 6-7 לְחֻקַּ֣ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=(into).a|Ref=LEV_16:34!4|MId=o030160340041|Strong=3807a 7 חֻקַּ֣ת חֻקָּה NOUN _ Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=statute|Ref=LEV_16:34!4|MId=o030160340042|Strong=2708 8 עוֹלָ֗ם עוֹלָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.perpetuity|Ref=LEV_16:34!5|MId=o030160340051|Strong=5769 9-10 לְכַפֵּ֞ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=LEV_16:34!6|MId=o030160340061|Strong=3807a 10 כַפֵּ֞ר כִּפֶּר VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 7 advcl _ Gloss=make.atonement|Ref=LEV_16:34!6|MId=o030160340062|Strong=3722|Frame=A0:030160320022;|Type=infinitive_construct 11 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=LEV_16:34!7|MId=o030160340071|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 12 בְּנֵ֤י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 obl _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=LEV_16:34!8|MId=o030160340081|Strong=1121 13 יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=LEV_16:34!9|MId=o030160340091|Strong=3478 14-15 מִכָּל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=LEV_16:34!10|MId=o030160340101|Strong=4480 15 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=LEV_16:34!10|MId=o030160340102|Strong=3605 16-17 חַטֹּאתָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 חַטֹּאת חַטָּאת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=sins|Ref=LEV_16:34!11|MId=o030160340111|Strong=2403 17 ָ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=LEV_16:34!11|MId=o030160340112|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 18 אַחַ֖ת אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 advmod _ Gloss=one.[time]|Ref=LEV_16:34!12|MId=o030160340121|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 19-21 בַּשָּׁנָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=LEV_16:34!13|MId=o030160340131|Strong=0871a 20 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_16:34!13|MId=o030160340131ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 שָּׁנָ֑ה שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 nmod _ Gloss=year|Ref=LEV_16:34!13|MId=o030160340132|Strong=8141 22-23 וַיַּ֕עַשׂ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_16:34!14|MId=o030160340141|Strong=2050b 23 יַּ֕עַשׂ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 conj _ Gloss=he.did|Ref=LEV_16:34!14|MId=o030160340142|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:030160010091;|Type=wayyiqtol 24-25 כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 23 obl _ Gloss=just|Ref=LEV_16:34!15|MId=o030160340151|Strong=3509a 25 אֲשֶׁ֛ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 26 mark _ Gloss=as|Ref=LEV_16:34!15|MId=o030160340152|Strong=0834|Type=relative 26 צִוָּ֥ה צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 24 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.had.commanded|Ref=LEV_16:34!16|MId=o030160340161|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:030160340171;A1:030160340191;|Type=qatal 27 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 26 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=LEV_16:34!17|MId=o030160340171|Strong=3068 28 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=LEV_16:34!18|MId=o030160340181|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 29 מֹשֶֽׁה מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 26 obj _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=LEV_16:34!19|MId=o030160340191|Strong=4872|SpaceAfter=No 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=LEV_16:34!19|SpaceAfter=No 31 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=LEV_16:34!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הָֽיְתָה־ *it will become* | weqatal · qal | זֹּאת *this* | | | | | כַפֵּר *make atonement* | infinitive construct · piel | | | | | | יַּעַשׂ *he did* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | צִוָּה *he had commanded* | qatal · piel | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | מֹשֶֽׁה *Moses* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
