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, I — and what happens in the verse to cuttings, flesh, marks, 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. וְשֶׂ֣רֶט לָנֶ֗פֶשׁ לֹ֤א תִתְּנוּ֙ בִּבְשַׂרְכֶ֔ם וּכְתֹ֣בֶת קַֽעֲקַ֔ע לֹ֥א תִתְּנ֖וּ בָּכֶ֑ם אֲנִ֖י יְהוָֽה׃ [Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor imprint any marks upon you: I am the LORD.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.570/) ## 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:563 # text = וְשֶׂ֣רֶט לָנֶ֗פֶשׁ לֹ֤א תִתְּנוּ֙ בִּבְשַׂרְכֶ֔ם וּכְתֹ֣בֶת קַֽעֲקַ֔ע לֹ֥א תִתְּנ֖וּ בָּכֶ֑ם אֲנִ֖י יְהוָֽה׃ # verse = LEV.19.28 1-2 וְשֶׂ֣רֶט _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_19:28!1|MId=o030190280011|Strong=2050b 2 שֶׂ֣רֶט שֶׂרֶט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=cut[s]|Ref=LEV_19:28!1|MId=o030190280012|Strong=8296 3-4 לָנֶ֗פֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=LEV_19:28!2|MId=o030190280021|Strong=3807a 4 נֶ֗פֶשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=a.corpse|Ref=LEV_19:28!2|MId=o030190280022|Strong=5315 5 לֹ֤א לֹא ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=LEV_19:28!3|MId=o030190280031|Strong=3808|Type=negative 6 תִתְּנוּ֙ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.make|Ref=LEV_19:28!4|MId=o030190280041|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:030190020041;A1:030190280012;|Type=yiqtol 7-9 בִּבְשַׂרְכֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=LEV_19:28!5|MId=o030190280051|Strong=0871a 8 בְשַׂר בָּשָׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=flesh|Ref=LEV_19:28!5|MId=o030190280052|Strong=1320 9 ְכֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=LEV_19:28!5|MId=o030190280053|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 10-11 וּכְתֹ֣בֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and.[the]|Ref=LEV_19:28!6|MId=o030190280061|Strong=2050b 11 כְתֹ֣בֶת כְּתֹבֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=inscription|Ref=LEV_19:28!6|MId=o030190280062|Strong=3793 12 קַֽעֲקַ֔ע קַעֲקַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.an.incision|Ref=LEV_19:28!7|MId=o030190280071|Strong=7085 13 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=LEV_19:28!8|MId=o030190280081|Strong=3808|Type=negative 14 תִתְּנ֖וּ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 6 conj _ Gloss=you.will.make|Ref=LEV_19:28!9|MId=o030190280091|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:030190020041;A1:030190280062;|Type=yiqtol 15-16 בָּכֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=LEV_19:28!10|MId=o030190280101|Strong=0871a 16 ָכֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=yourselves|Ref=LEV_19:28!10|MId=o030190280102|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 17 אֲנִ֖י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=LEV_19:28!11|MId=o030190280111|Strong=0589|Type=personal 18 יְהוָֽה יהוה PROPN _ _ 6 parataxis _ Gloss=[am].Yahweh|Ref=LEV_19:28!12|MId=o030190280121|Strong=3068|SpaceAfter=No 19 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 18 punct _ Ref=LEV_19:28!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes - indirect: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** תִתְּנוּ *you will make* | yiqtol · qal | | שֶׂרֶט *cut\[s\]* | | | | **not** תִתְּנוּ *you will make* | yiqtol · qal | | כְתֹבֶת *inscription* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
