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 — you, ye, appointed seasons — and what happens in the verse to appointed seasons, holy convocations, 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. דַּבֵּ֞ר אֶל־בְּנֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ אֲלֵהֶ֔ם מוֹעֲדֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־תִּקְרְא֥וּ אֹתָ֖ם מִקְרָאֵ֣י קֹ֑דֶשׁ אֵ֥לֶּה הֵ֖ם מוֹעֲדָֽי׃ [Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: The appointed seasons of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are My appointed seasons.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.666/) ## 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:658 # text = דַּבֵּ֞ר אֶל־בְּנֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ אֲלֵהֶ֔ם מוֹעֲדֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־תִּקְרְא֥וּ אֹתָ֖ם מִקְרָאֵ֣י קֹ֑דֶשׁ אֵ֥לֶּה הֵ֖ם מוֹעֲדָֽי׃ # verse = LEV.23.2 1 דַּבֵּ֞ר דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=speak|Ref=LEV_23:2!1|MId=o030230020011|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:030230010041;|Type=imperative 2 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=LEV_23:2!2|MId=o030230020021|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 3 בְּנֵ֤י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 1 obl _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=LEV_23:2!3|MId=o030230020031|Strong=1121 4 יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=LEV_23:2!4|MId=o030230020041|Strong=3478 5-6 וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_23:2!5|MId=o030230020051|Strong=2050b 6 אָמַרְתָּ֣ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 conj _ Gloss=you.will.say|Ref=LEV_23:2!5|MId=o030230020052|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:030230010041;|Type=weqatal 7-8 אֲלֵהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 אֲל אֶל ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=LEV_23:2!6|MId=o030230020061|Strong=0413 8 ֵהֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=LEV_23:2!6|MId=o030230020062|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 9 מוֹעֲדֵ֣י מוֹעֵד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 17 nsubj _ Gloss=the.appointed.feasts|Ref=LEV_23:2!7|MId=o030230020071|Strong=4150 10 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=LEV_23:2!8|MId=o030230020081|Strong=3068 11 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=LEV_23:2!9|MId=o030230020091|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 12 תִּקְרְא֥וּ קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 9 acl:relcl _ Gloss=you.will.proclaim|Ref=LEV_23:2!10|MId=o030230020101|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:030230020031;A1:030230020112;|Type=yiqtol 13-14 אֹתָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=|Ref=LEV_23:2!11|MId=o030230020111|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 14 ָ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=LEV_23:2!11|MId=o030230020112|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 15 מִקְרָאֵ֣י מִקְרָא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 xcomp _ Gloss=convocations|Ref=LEV_23:2!12|MId=o030230020121|Strong=4744 16 קֹ֑דֶשׁ קֹדֶשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.holiness|Ref=LEV_23:2!13|MId=o030230020131|Strong=6944 17 אֵ֥לֶּה אֵלֶּה PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 6 ccomp _ Gloss=these|Ref=LEV_23:2!14|MId=o030230020141|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 18 הֵ֖ם הֵם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=LEV_23:2!15|MId=o030230020151|Strong=1992|Type=personal 19-20 מוֹעֲדָֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 מוֹעֲד מוֹעֵד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 17 parataxis _ Gloss=appointed.feasts|Ref=LEV_23:2!16|MId=o030230020161|Strong=4150 20 ָֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[are].my|Ref=LEV_23:2!16|MId=o030230020162|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=LEV_23:2!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | דַּבֵּר *speak* | imperative · piel | | | | | | אָמַרְתָּ *you will say* | weqatal · qal | | | | | | תִּקְרְאוּ *you will proclaim* | yiqtol · qal | בְּנֵי *the people* | ָם *them* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
