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 — ye, work — and what happens in the verse to work, sabbath, manner, dwellings, 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. שֵׁ֣שֶׁת יָמִים֮ תֵּעָשֶׂ֣ה מְלָאכָה֒ וּבַיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֗י שַׁבַּ֤ת שַׁבָּתוֹן֙ מִקְרָא־קֹ֔דֶשׁ כָּל־מְלָאכָ֖ה לֹ֣א תַעֲשׂ֑וּ שַׁבָּ֥ת הִוא֙ לַֽיהוָ֔ה בְּכֹ֖ל מֽוֹשְׁבֹתֵיכֶֽם׃פ [Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of work; it is a sabbath unto the LORD in all your dwellings.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.667/) ## 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:659 # text = שֵׁ֣שֶׁת יָמִים֮ תֵּעָשֶׂ֣ה מְלָאכָה֒ וּבַיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֗י שַׁבַּ֤ת שַׁבָּתוֹן֙ מִקְרָא־קֹ֔דֶשׁ כָּל־מְלָאכָ֖ה לֹ֣א תַעֲשׂ֑וּ שַׁבָּ֥ת הִוא֙ לַֽיהוָ֔ה בְּכֹ֖ל מֽוֹשְׁבֹתֵיכֶֽם׃פ # verse = LEV.23.3 1 שֵׁ֣שֶׁת שֵׁשׁ NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nummod _ Gloss=six|Ref=LEV_23:3!1|MId=o030230030011|Strong=8337|Type=cardinal_number 2 יָמִים֮ יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 obl _ Gloss=days|Ref=LEV_23:3!2|MId=o030230030021|Strong=3117 3 תֵּעָשֶׂ֣ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.will.be.done|Ref=LEV_23:3!3|MId=o030230030031|Strong=6213|Frame=A1:030230030041;|Type=yiqtol 4 מְלָאכָה֒ מְלָאכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 nsubj _ Gloss=work|Ref=LEV_23:3!4|MId=o030230030041|Strong=4399 5-8 וּבַיּ֣וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_23:3!5|MId=o030230030051|Strong=2050b 6 בַ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=[will|Ref=LEV_23:3!5|MId=o030230030052|Strong=0871a 7 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=be]|Ref=LEV_23:3!5|MId=o030230030052ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 יּ֣וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 conj _ Gloss=on.the.day|Ref=LEV_23:3!5|MId=o030230030053|Strong=3117 9-10 הַשְּׁבִיעִ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=LEV_23:3!6|MId=o030230030061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 שְּׁבִיעִ֗י שְׁבִיעִי NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 nummod _ Gloss=seventh|Ref=LEV_23:3!6|MId=o030230030062|Strong=7637|Type=ordinal_number 11 שַׁבַּ֤ת שַׁבָּת NOUN _ Number=Sing 8 nsubj _ Gloss=a.sabbath|Ref=LEV_23:3!7|MId=o030230030071|Strong=7676 12 שַׁבָּתוֹן֙ שַׁבָּתוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.sabbath.observance|Ref=LEV_23:3!8|MId=o030230030081|Strong=7677 13 מִקְרָא־ מִקְרָא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 appos _ Gloss=a.convocation|Ref=LEV_23:3!9|MId=o030230030091|Strong=4744|SpaceAfter=No 14 קֹ֔דֶשׁ קֹדֶשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.holiness|Ref=LEV_23:3!10|MId=o030230030101|Strong=6944 15 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=any|Ref=LEV_23:3!11|MId=o030230030111|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 16 מְלָאכָ֖ה מְלָאכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=work|Ref=LEV_23:3!12|MId=o030230030121|Strong=4399 17 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 18 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=LEV_23:3!13|MId=o030230030131|Strong=3808|Type=negative 18 תַעֲשׂ֑וּ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 3 parataxis _ Gloss=you.will.do|Ref=LEV_23:3!14|MId=o030230030141|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:030230020031;A1:030230030121;|Type=yiqtol 19 שַׁבָּ֥ת שַׁבָּת NOUN _ Number=Sing 3 parataxis _ Gloss=[will.be].a.sabbath|Ref=LEV_23:3!15|MId=o030230030151|Strong=7676 20 הִוא֙ הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=LEV_23:3!16|MId=o030230030161|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 21-22 לַֽיהוָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לַֽ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=LEV_23:3!17|MId=o030230030171|Strong=3807a 22 יהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 19 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=LEV_23:3!17|MId=o030230030172|Strong=3068 23-24 בְּכֹ֖ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=LEV_23:3!18|MId=o030230030181|Strong=0871a 24 כֹ֖ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=LEV_23:3!18|MId=o030230030182|Strong=3605 25-26 מֽוֹשְׁבֹתֵיכֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 מֽוֹשְׁבֹתֵי מוֹשָׁב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=places|Ref=LEV_23:3!19|MId=o030230030191|Strong=4186 26 כֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your.dwelling|Ref=LEV_23:3!19|MId=o030230030192|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=LEV_23:3!19|SpaceAfter=No 28 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=LEV_23:3!19 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תֵּעָשֶׂה *it will be done* | yiqtol · niphal | | מְלָאכָה *work* | | | | **not** תַעֲשׂוּ *you will do* | yiqtol · qal | | מְלָאכָה *work* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
