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 — soul — and what happens in the verse to face, soul, 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. וְהַנֶּ֗פֶשׁ אֲשֶׁ֨ר תִּפְנֶ֤ה אֶל־הָֽאֹבֹת֙ וְאֶל־הַיִּדְּעֹנִ֔ים לִזְנ֖וֹת אַחֲרֵיהֶ֑ם וְנָתַתִּ֤י אֶת־פָּנַי֙ בַּנֶּ֣פֶשׁ הַהִ֔וא וְהִכְרַתִּ֥י אֹת֖וֹ מִקֶּ֥רֶב עַמּֽוֹ׃ [And the soul that turneth unto the ghosts, and unto the familiar spirits, to go astray after them, I will even set My face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.585/) ## 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:578 # text = וְהַנֶּ֗פֶשׁ אֲשֶׁ֨ר תִּפְנֶ֤ה אֶל־הָֽאֹבֹת֙ וְאֶל־הַיִּדְּעֹנִ֔ים לִזְנ֖וֹת אַחֲרֵיהֶ֑ם וְנָתַתִּ֤י אֶת־פָּנַי֙ בַּנֶּ֣פֶשׁ הַהִ֔וא וְהִכְרַתִּ֥י אֹת֖וֹ מִקֶּ֥רֶב עַמּֽוֹ׃ # verse = LEV.20.6 1-3 וְהַנֶּ֗פֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_20:6!1|MId=o030200060011|Strong=2050b 2 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 3 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_20:6!1|MId=o030200060012|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 3 נֶּ֗פֶשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 18 dislocated _ Gloss=person|Ref=LEV_20:6!1|MId=o030200060013|Strong=5315 4 אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=LEV_20:6!2|MId=o030200060021|Strong=0834|Type=relative 5 תִּפְנֶ֤ה פָּנָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 acl:relcl _ Gloss=it.will.turn|Ref=LEV_20:6!3|MId=o030200060031|Strong=6437|Frame=A0:030200060013;|Type=yiqtol 6 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=LEV_20:6!4|MId=o030200060041|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 7-8 הָֽאֹבֹת֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_20:6!5|MId=o030200060051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 אֹבֹת֙ אוֹב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 obl _ Gloss=necromancers|Ref=LEV_20:6!5|MId=o030200060052|Strong=0178 9-10 וְאֶל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_20:6!6|MId=o030200060061|Strong=2050b 10 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=LEV_20:6!6|MId=o030200060062|Strong=0413 11-12 הַיִּדְּעֹנִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_20:6!7|MId=o030200060071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 יִּדְּעֹנִ֔ים יִדְּעֹנִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 conj _ Gloss=soothsayers|Ref=LEV_20:6!7|MId=o030200060072|Strong=3049 13-14 לִזְנ֖וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=LEV_20:6!8|MId=o030200060081|Strong=3807a 14 זְנ֖וֹת זָנָה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 5 advcl _ Gloss=act.as.a.prostitute|Ref=LEV_20:6!8|MId=o030200060082|Strong=2181|Frame=A0:030200060013;|Type=infinitive_construct 15-16 אַחֲרֵיהֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 אַחֲרֵי אַחַר ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=LEV_20:6!9|MId=o030200060091|Strong=0310 16 הֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=LEV_20:6!9|MId=o030200060092|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 17-18 וְנָתַתִּ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_20:6!10|MId=o030200060101|Strong=2050b 18 נָתַתִּ֤י נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.will.set|Ref=LEV_20:6!10|MId=o030200060102|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:030200010021;A1:030200060121;|Type=weqatal 19 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=LEV_20:6!11|MId=o030200060111|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 20-21 פָּנַי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 פָּנ פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 18 obj _ Gloss=face|Ref=LEV_20:6!12|MId=o030200060121|Strong=6440 21 ַי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=LEV_20:6!12|MId=o030200060122|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 22-24 בַּנֶּ֣פֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=LEV_20:6!13|MId=o030200060131|Strong=0871a 23 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_20:6!13|MId=o030200060131ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 נֶּ֣פֶשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=person|Ref=LEV_20:6!13|MId=o030200060132|Strong=5315 25-26 הַהִ֔וא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 26 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=LEV_20:6!14|MId=o030200060141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 26 הִ֔וא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 det _ Gloss=that|Ref=LEV_20:6!14|MId=o030200060142|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 27-28 וְהִכְרַתִּ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_20:6!15|MId=o030200060151|Strong=2050b 28 הִכְרַתִּ֥י כָּרַת VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 18 conj _ Gloss=I.will.cut.off|Ref=LEV_20:6!15|MId=o030200060152|Strong=3772|Frame=AA:030200010021;A0:030200060162;|Type=weqatal 29-30 אֹת֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=|Ref=LEV_20:6!16|MId=o030200060161|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 30 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 28 obj _ Gloss=him|Ref=LEV_20:6!16|MId=o030200060162|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 31-32 מִקֶּ֥רֶב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=LEV_20:6!17|MId=o030200060171|Strong=4480 32 קֶּ֥רֶב קֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 obl _ Gloss=the.midst|Ref=LEV_20:6!17|MId=o030200060172|Strong=7130 33-34 עַמּֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 33 עַמּ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 32 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.people|Ref=LEV_20:6!18|MId=o030200060181|Strong=5971 34 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 33 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=LEV_20:6!18|MId=o030200060182|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=LEV_20:6!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
