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 — and what happens in the verse to blemish, offerings, bread, 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. כָּל־אִ֞ישׁ אֲשֶׁר־בּ֣וֹ מ֗וּם מִזֶּ֙רַע֙ אַהֲרֹ֣ן הַכֹּהֵ֔ן לֹ֣א יִגַּ֔שׁ לְהַקְרִ֖יב אֶת־אִשֵּׁ֣י יְהוָ֑ה מ֣וּם בּ֔וֹ אֵ֚ת לֶ֣חֶם אֱלֹהָ֔יו לֹ֥א יִגַּ֖שׁ לְהַקְרִֽיב׃ [no man of the seed of Aaron the priest, that hath a blemish, shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire; he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.627/) ## 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:620 # text = כָּל־אִ֞ישׁ אֲשֶׁר־בּ֣וֹ מ֗וּם מִזֶּ֙רַע֙ אַהֲרֹ֣ן הַכֹּהֵ֔ן לֹ֣א יִגַּ֔שׁ לְהַקְרִ֖יב אֶת־אִשֵּׁ֣י יְהוָ֑ה מ֣וּם בּ֔וֹ אֵ֚ת לֶ֣חֶם אֱלֹהָ֔יו לֹ֥א יִגַּ֖שׁ לְהַקְרִֽיב׃ # verse = LEV.21.21 1 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 nsubj _ Gloss=any|Ref=LEV_21:21!1|MId=o030210210011|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 2 אִ֞ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 compound:smixut _ Gloss=man|Ref=LEV_21:21!2|MId=o030210210021|Strong=0376 3 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=whom|Ref=LEV_21:21!3|MId=o030210210031|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 בּ֣וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=[is].in|Ref=LEV_21:21!4|MId=o030210210041|Strong=0871a 5 ֣וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 1 acl:relcl _ Gloss=him|Ref=LEV_21:21!4|MId=o030210210042|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 6 מ֗וּם מאוּם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 nsubj _ Gloss=a.blemish|Ref=LEV_21:21!5|MId=o030210210051|Strong=3971a 7-8 מִזֶּ֙רַע֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=LEV_21:21!6|MId=o030210210061|Strong=4480 8 זֶּ֙רַע֙ זֶרַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nmod _ Gloss=the.offspring|Ref=LEV_21:21!6|MId=o030210210062|Strong=2233 9 אַהֲרֹ֣ן אַהֲרֹן PROPN _ _ 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Aaron|Ref=LEV_21:21!7|MId=o030210210071|Strong=0175 10-11 הַכֹּהֵ֔ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_21:21!8|MId=o030210210081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 כֹּהֵ֔ן כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 appos _ Gloss=priest|Ref=LEV_21:21!8|MId=o030210210082|Strong=3548 12 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 13 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=LEV_21:21!9|MId=o030210210091|Strong=3808|Type=negative 13 יִגַּ֔שׁ נָגַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.draw.near|Ref=LEV_21:21!10|MId=o030210210101|Strong=5066|Frame=A0:030210210021;|Type=yiqtol 14-15 לְהַקְרִ֖יב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=LEV_21:21!11|MId=o030210210111|Strong=3807a 15 הַקְרִ֖יב קָרַב VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 13 advcl _ Gloss=present|Ref=LEV_21:21!11|MId=o030210210112|Strong=7126|Frame=AA:030210210021;A0:030210210131;|Type=infinitive_construct 16 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=LEV_21:21!12|MId=o030210210121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 17 אִשֵּׁ֣י אִשֶּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 obj _ Gloss=the.fire.offerings|Ref=LEV_21:21!13|MId=o030210210131|Strong=0801 18 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=LEV_21:21!14|MId=o030210210141|Strong=3068 19 מ֣וּם מאוּם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=a.blemish|Ref=LEV_21:21!15|MId=o030210210151|Strong=3971a 20-21 בּ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=[is].in|Ref=LEV_21:21!16|MId=o030210210161|Strong=0871a 21 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 parataxis _ Gloss=him|Ref=LEV_21:21!16|MId=o030210210162|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22 אֵ֚ת אֵת ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=LEV_21:21!17|MId=o030210210171|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 23 לֶ֣חֶם לֶחֶם NOUN _ Number=Sing 29 obj _ Gloss=the.food|Ref=LEV_21:21!18|MId=o030210210181|Strong=3899 24-25 אֱלֹהָ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 אֱלֹהָ֔י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.God|Ref=LEV_21:21!19|MId=o030210210191|Strong=0430 25 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=LEV_21:21!19|MId=o030210210192|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 27 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=LEV_21:21!20|MId=o030210210201|Strong=3808|Type=negative 27 יִגַּ֖שׁ נָגַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 13 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.draw.near|Ref=LEV_21:21!21|MId=o030210210211|Strong=5066|Frame=A0:030210210021;|Type=yiqtol 28-29 לְהַקְרִֽיב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=LEV_21:21!22|MId=o030210210221|Strong=3807a 29 הַקְרִֽיב קָרַב VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 27 advcl _ Gloss=present|Ref=LEV_21:21!22|MId=o030210210222|Strong=7126|Frame=AA:030210210021;A0:030210210181;|Type=infinitive_construct 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=LEV_21:21!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** יִגַּשׁ *he will draw near* | yiqtol · qal | אִישׁ *man* | | | | | הַקְרִיב *present* | infinitive construct · hiphil | אִשֵּׁי *the fire offerings* | | | אִישׁ *man* | | **not** יִגַּשׁ *he will draw near* | yiqtol · qal | אִישׁ *man* | | | | | הַקְרִֽיב *present* | infinitive construct · hiphil | לֶחֶם *the food* | | | אִישׁ *man* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
