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 — woman, spirits, blood — and what happens in the verse to man, ghosts, 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. וְאִ֣ישׁ אֽוֹ־אִשָּׁ֗ה כִּֽי־יִהְיֶ֨ה בָהֶ֥ם א֛וֹב א֥וֹ יִדְּעֹנִ֖י מ֣וֹת יוּמָ֑תוּ בָּאֶ֛בֶן יִרְגְּמ֥וּ אֹתָ֖ם דְּמֵיהֶ֥ם בָּֽם׃פ [A man also or a woman that divineth by a ghost or a familiar spirit, shall surely be put to death; they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.606/) ## 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:599 # text = וְאִ֣ישׁ אֽוֹ־אִשָּׁ֗ה כִּֽי־יִהְיֶ֨ה בָהֶ֥ם א֛וֹב א֥וֹ יִדְּעֹנִ֖י מ֣וֹת יוּמָ֑תוּ בָּאֶ֛בֶן יִרְגְּמ֥וּ אֹתָ֖ם דְּמֵיהֶ֥ם בָּֽם׃פ # verse = LEV.20.27 1-2 וְאִ֣ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_20:27!1|MId=o030200270011|Strong=2050b 2 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 dislocated _ Gloss=a.man|Ref=LEV_20:27!1|MId=o030200270012|Strong=0376 3 אֽוֹ־ אוֹ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=or|Ref=LEV_20:27!2|MId=o030200270021|Strong=0176|SpaceAfter=No 4 אִשָּׁ֗ה אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=a.woman|Ref=LEV_20:27!3|MId=o030200270031|Strong=0802 5 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 8 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=LEV_20:27!4|MId=o030200270041|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 6 יִהְיֶ֨ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 8 cop _ Gloss=he.will.be|Ref=LEV_20:27!5|MId=o030200270051|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:030200270071;030200270091;|Type=yiqtol 7-8 בָהֶ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 ב בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=among|Ref=LEV_20:27!6|MId=o030200270061|Strong=0871a 8 ָהֶ֥ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 advcl _ Gloss=them|Ref=LEV_20:27!6|MId=o030200270062|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 9 א֛וֹב אוֹב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 nsubj _ Gloss=a.necromancer|Ref=LEV_20:27!7|MId=o030200270071|Strong=0178 10 א֥וֹ אוֹ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=or|Ref=LEV_20:27!8|MId=o030200270081|Strong=0176 11 יִדְּעֹנִ֖י יִדְּעֹנִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 conj _ Gloss=a.soothsayer|Ref=LEV_20:27!9|MId=o030200270091|Strong=3049 12 מ֣וֹת מוּת VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 13 obl:npmod _ Gloss=surely.(die)|Ref=LEV_20:27!10|MId=o030200270101|Strong=4191|Type=infinitive_absolute 13 יוּמָ֑תוּ מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HOPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.will.be.put.to.death|Ref=LEV_20:27!11|MId=o030200270111|Strong=4191|Frame=A1:030200270012;030200270031;|Type=yiqtol 14-16 בָּאֶ֛בֶן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=LEV_20:27!12|MId=o030200270121|Strong=0871a 15 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=LEV_20:27!12|MId=o030200270121ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 אֶ֛בֶן אֶבֶן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=stone[s]|Ref=LEV_20:27!12|MId=o030200270122|Strong=0068 17 יִרְגְּמ֥וּ רָגַם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 13 parataxis _ Gloss=people.will.stone|Ref=LEV_20:27!13|MId=o030200270131|Strong=7275|Frame=A0:;A1:030200270142;|Type=yiqtol 18-19 אֹתָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=|Ref=LEV_20:27!14|MId=o030200270141|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 19 ָ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=LEV_20:27!14|MId=o030200270142|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 20-21 דְּמֵיהֶ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 דְּמֵי דָּם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 nsubj _ Gloss=blood(s)|Ref=LEV_20:27!15|MId=o030200270151|Strong=1818 21 הֶ֥ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=LEV_20:27!15|MId=o030200270152|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 22-23 בָּֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=[are].on|Ref=LEV_20:27!16|MId=o030200270161|Strong=0871a 23 ָֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 parataxis _ Gloss=them|Ref=LEV_20:27!16|MId=o030200270162|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=LEV_20:27!16|SpaceAfter=No 25 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=LEV_20:27!16 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִהְיֶה *he will be* | yiqtol · qal | אוֹב *a necromancer* + יִדְּעֹנִי *a soothsayer* | | | | | יוּמָתוּ *they will be put to death* | yiqtol · hophal | | אִישׁ *a man* + אִשָּׁה *a woman* | | | | יִרְגְּמוּ *people will stone* | yiqtol · qal | | ָם *them* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
