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 — blood, I, Ye, life, whosoever — and what happens in the verse to one, blood, 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. כִּֽי־נֶ֣פֶשׁ כָּל־בָּשָׂ֗ר דָּמ֣וֹ בְנַפְשׁוֹ֮ הוּא֒ וָֽאֹמַר֙ לִבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל דַּ֥ם כָּל־בָּשָׂ֖ר לֹ֣א תֹאכֵ֑לוּ כִּ֣י נֶ֤פֶשׁ כָּל־בָּשָׂר֙ דָּמ֣וֹ הִ֔וא כָּל־אֹכְלָ֖יו יִכָּרֵֽת׃ [For as to the life of all flesh, the blood thereof is all one with the life thereof; therefore I said unto the children of Israel: Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh; for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof; whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.508/) ## 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:503 # text = כִּֽי־נֶ֣פֶשׁ כָּל־בָּשָׂ֗ר דָּמ֣וֹ בְנַפְשׁוֹ֮ הוּא֒ וָֽאֹמַר֙ לִבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל דַּ֥ם כָּל־בָּשָׂ֖ר לֹ֣א תֹאכֵ֑לוּ כִּ֣י נֶ֤פֶשׁ כָּל־בָּשָׂר֙ דָּמ֣וֹ הִ֔וא כָּל־אֹכְלָ֖יו יִכָּרֵֽת׃ # verse = LEV.17.14 1 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=LEV_17:14!1|MId=o030170140011|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 2 נֶ֣פֶשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 5 nsubj _ Gloss=[the].life|Ref=LEV_17:14!2|MId=o030170140021|Strong=5315 3 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.all|Ref=LEV_17:14!3|MId=o030170140031|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 4 בָּשָׂ֗ר בָּשָׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=flesh|Ref=LEV_17:14!4|MId=o030170140041|Strong=1320 5-6 דָּמ֣וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 דָּמ דָּם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=blood|Ref=LEV_17:14!5|MId=o030170140051|Strong=1818 6 ֣וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=LEV_17:14!5|MId=o030170140052|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 7-9 בְנַפְשׁוֹ֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=[is].(in)|Ref=LEV_17:14!6|MId=o030170140061|Strong=0871a 8 נַפְשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 5 parataxis _ Gloss=life|Ref=LEV_17:14!6|MId=o030170140062|Strong=5315 9 וֹ֮ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=LEV_17:14!6|MId=o030170140063|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 10 הוּא֒ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=LEV_17:14!7|MId=o030170140071|Strong=1931|Type=personal 11-12 וָֽאֹמַר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וָֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_17:14!8|MId=o030170140081|Strong=2050b 12 אֹמַר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 5 conj _ Gloss=I.have.said|Ref=LEV_17:14!8|MId=o030170140082|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:030170090092;|Type=wayyiqtol 13-14 לִבְנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=LEV_17:14!9|MId=o030170140091|Strong=3807a 14 בְנֵ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 obl _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=LEV_17:14!9|MId=o030170140092|Strong=1121 15 יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=LEV_17:14!10|MId=o030170140101|Strong=3478 16 דַּ֥ם דָּם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obj _ Gloss=[the].blood|Ref=LEV_17:14!11|MId=o030170140111|Strong=1818 17 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.any|Ref=LEV_17:14!12|MId=o030170140121|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 18 בָּשָׂ֖ר בָּשָׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=flesh|Ref=LEV_17:14!13|MId=o030170140131|Strong=1320 19 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=LEV_17:14!14|MId=o030170140141|Strong=3808|Type=negative 20 תֹאכֵ֑לוּ אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 12 ccomp _ Gloss=you.must.eat|Ref=LEV_17:14!15|MId=o030170140151|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:030170140092;A1:030170140111;|Type=yiqtol 21 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=LEV_17:14!16|MId=o030170140161|Strong=3588 22 נֶ֤פֶשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 25 dislocated _ Gloss=[the].life|Ref=LEV_17:14!17|MId=o030170140171|Strong=5315 23 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.all|Ref=LEV_17:14!18|MId=o030170140181|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 24 בָּשָׂר֙ בָּשָׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=flesh|Ref=LEV_17:14!19|MId=o030170140191|Strong=1320 25-26 דָּמ֣וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 דָּמ דָּם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 advcl _ Gloss=blood|Ref=LEV_17:14!20|MId=o030170140201|Strong=1818 26 ֣וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[is].its|Ref=LEV_17:14!20|MId=o030170140202|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 27 הִ֔וא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=LEV_17:14!21|MId=o030170140211|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 28 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 31 nsubj _ Gloss=all|Ref=LEV_17:14!22|MId=o030170140221|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 29-30 אֹכְלָ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 אֹכְלָ֖י אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=[those|Ref=LEV_17:14!23|MId=o030170140231|Strong=0398|Frame=A1:030170140232;|Type=participle_active 30 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 29 nmod:poss _ Gloss=who].eat.it|Ref=LEV_17:14!23|MId=o030170140232|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 31 יִכָּרֵֽת כָּרַת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 20 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.be.cut.off|Ref=LEV_17:14!24|MId=o030170140241|Strong=3772|Frame=A1:030170140231;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=LEV_17:14!24 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
