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 — Ye, man, I, Mine — and what happens in the verse to statutes, LORD, 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. וּשְׁמַרְתֶּ֤ם אֶת־חֻקֹּתַי֙ וְאֶת־מִשְׁפָּטַ֔י אֲשֶׁ֨ר יַעֲשֶׂ֥ה אֹתָ֛ם הָאָדָ֖ם וָחַ֣י בָּהֶ֑ם אֲנִ֖י יְהוָֽה׃ס [Ye shall therefore keep My statutes, and Mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live by them: I am the LORD.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.515/) ## 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:510 # text = וּשְׁמַרְתֶּ֤ם אֶת־חֻקֹּתַי֙ וְאֶת־מִשְׁפָּטַ֔י אֲשֶׁ֨ר יַעֲשֶׂ֥ה אֹתָ֛ם הָאָדָ֖ם וָחַ֣י בָּהֶ֑ם אֲנִ֖י יְהוָֽה׃ס # verse = LEV.18.5 1-2 וּשְׁמַרְתֶּ֤ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_18:5!1|MId=o030180050011|Strong=2050b 2 שְׁמַרְתֶּ֤ם שָׁמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.keep|Ref=LEV_18:5!1|MId=o030180050012|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:030180020031;A1:030180050031;030180050051;|Type=weqatal 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=LEV_18:5!2|MId=o030180050021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 חֻקֹּתַי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 חֻקֹּת חֻקָּה NOUN _ Number=Plur 2 obj _ Gloss=statutes|Ref=LEV_18:5!3|MId=o030180050031|Strong=2708 5 ַי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=LEV_18:5!3|MId=o030180050032|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 6-7 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_18:5!4|MId=o030180050041|Strong=2050b 7 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=LEV_18:5!4|MId=o030180050042|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 8-9 מִשְׁפָּטַ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 מִשְׁפָּט מִשְׁפָּט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 conj _ Gloss=judgments|Ref=LEV_18:5!5|MId=o030180050051|Strong=4941 9 ַ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=LEV_18:5!5|MId=o030180050052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 10 אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 11 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=LEV_18:5!6|MId=o030180050061|Strong=0834|Type=relative 11 יַעֲשֶׂ֥ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.will.do|Ref=LEV_18:5!7|MId=o030180050071|Strong=6213|Frame=A1:030180050082;A0:030180050092;|Type=yiqtol 12-13 אֹתָ֛ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=|Ref=LEV_18:5!8|MId=o030180050081|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 13 ָ֛ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=LEV_18:5!8|MId=o030180050082|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 14-15 הָאָדָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=LEV_18:5!9|MId=o030180050091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 אָדָ֖ם אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 nsubj _ Gloss=humankind|Ref=LEV_18:5!9|MId=o030180050092|Strong=0120 16-17 וָחַ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_18:5!10|MId=o030180050101|Strong=2050b 17 חַ֣י חיה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 11 conj _ Gloss=he.will.live|Ref=LEV_18:5!10|MId=o030180050102|Strong=2421|Frame=A0:030180050092;|Type=weqatal 18-19 בָּהֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=LEV_18:5!11|MId=o030180050111|Strong=0871a 19 ָהֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=LEV_18:5!11|MId=o030180050112|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 20 אֲנִ֖י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 21 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=LEV_18:5!12|MId=o030180050121|Strong=0589|Type=personal 21 יְהוָֽה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 parataxis _ Gloss=[am].Yahweh|Ref=LEV_18:5!13|MId=o030180050131|Strong=3068|SpaceAfter=No 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=LEV_18:5!13|SpaceAfter=No 23 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=LEV_18:5!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no - indirect: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שְׁמַרְתֶּם *you will keep* | weqatal · qal | | חֻקֹּת *statutes* + מִשְׁפָּט *judgments* | | | | יַעֲשֶׂה *he will do* | yiqtol · qal | אָדָם *humankind* | ָם *them* | | | | חַי *he will live* | weqatal · qal | אָדָם *humankind* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
