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 — man, blood — and what happens in the verse to mother, wickedness, father, 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. וְאִ֗ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֨ר יִקַּ֧ח אֶת־אִשָּׁ֛ה וְאֶת־אִמָּ֖הּ זִמָּ֣ה הִ֑וא בָּאֵ֞שׁ יִשְׂרְפ֤וּ אֹתוֹ֙ וְאֶתְהֶ֔ן וְלֹא־תִהְיֶ֥ה זִמָּ֖ה בְּתוֹכְכֶֽם׃ [And if a man take with his wife also her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.593/) ## 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:586 # text = וְאִ֗ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֨ר יִקַּ֧ח אֶת־אִשָּׁ֛ה וְאֶת־אִמָּ֖הּ זִמָּ֣ה הִ֑וא בָּאֵ֞שׁ יִשְׂרְפ֤וּ אֹתוֹ֙ וְאֶתְהֶ֔ן וְלֹא־תִהְיֶ֥ה זִמָּ֖ה בְּתוֹכְכֶֽם׃ # verse = LEV.20.14 1-2 וְאִ֗ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_20:14!1|MId=o030200140011|Strong=2050b 2 אִ֗ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 dislocated _ Gloss=a.man|Ref=LEV_20:14!1|MId=o030200140012|Strong=0376 3 אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=LEV_20:14!2|MId=o030200140021|Strong=0834|Type=relative 4 יִקַּ֧ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.will.take|Ref=LEV_20:14!3|MId=o030200140031|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:030200140012;A1:030200140051;030200140071;|Type=yiqtol 5 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=LEV_20:14!4|MId=o030200140041|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 6 אִשָּׁ֛ה אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 obj _ Gloss=a.woman|Ref=LEV_20:14!5|MId=o030200140051|Strong=0802 7-8 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_20:14!6|MId=o030200140061|Strong=2050b 8 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=LEV_20:14!6|MId=o030200140062|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 9-10 אִמָּ֖הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 אִמּ אֵם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=mother|Ref=LEV_20:14!7|MId=o030200140071|Strong=0517 10 ָ֖הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=LEV_20:14!7|MId=o030200140072|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 11 זִמָּ֣ה זִמָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[is].wickedness|Ref=LEV_20:14!8|MId=o030200140081|Strong=2154 12 הִ֑וא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=LEV_20:14!9|MId=o030200140091|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 13-15 בָּאֵ֞שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=LEV_20:14!10|MId=o030200140101|Strong=0871a 14 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=LEV_20:14!10|MId=o030200140101ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 אֵ֞שׁ אֵשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=fire|Ref=LEV_20:14!10|MId=o030200140102|Strong=0784 16 יִשְׂרְפ֤וּ שָׂרַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 11 parataxis _ Gloss=people.will.burn|Ref=LEV_20:14!11|MId=o030200140111|Strong=8313|Frame=A0:;A1:030200140122;030200140133;|Type=yiqtol 17-18 אֹתוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=|Ref=LEV_20:14!12|MId=o030200140121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 18 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obj _ Gloss=him|Ref=LEV_20:14!12|MId=o030200140122|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 19-21 וְאֶתְהֶ֔ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_20:14!13|MId=o030200140131|Strong=2050b 20 אֶת אֵת ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=|Ref=LEV_20:14!13|MId=o030200140132|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 21 ְהֶ֔ן הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 conj _ Gloss=them|Ref=LEV_20:14!13|MId=o030200140133|Strong=2004|Type=pronominal 22-23 וְלֹא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_20:14!14|MId=o030200140141|Strong=2050b 23 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 27 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=LEV_20:14!14|MId=o030200140142|Strong=3808|Type=negative 24 תִהְיֶ֥ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 27 cop _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=LEV_20:14!15|MId=o030200140151|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:030200140161;|Type=yiqtol 25 זִמָּ֖ה זִמָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 27 nsubj _ Gloss=wickedness|Ref=LEV_20:14!16|MId=o030200140161|Strong=2154 26-28 בְּתוֹכְכֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=among|Ref=LEV_20:14!17|MId=o030200140171|Strong=0871a 27 תוֹכ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 conj _ Gloss=|Ref=LEV_20:14!17|MId=o030200140172|Strong=8432 28 ְכֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 27 nmod:poss _ Gloss=you|Ref=LEV_20:14!17|MId=o030200140173|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=LEV_20:14!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִקַּח *he will take* | yiqtol · qal | אִישׁ *a man* | אִשָּׁה *a woman* + אִמּ *mother* | | | | יִשְׂרְפוּ *people will burn* | yiqtol · qal | | וֹ *him* + ְהֶן *them* | | | | תִהְיֶה *it will be* | yiqtol · qal | זִמָּה *wickedness* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
