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 — children, I — and what happens in the verse to servants, land, 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. כִּֽי־לִ֤י בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ עֲבָדִ֔ים עֲבָדַ֣י הֵ֔ם אֲשֶׁר־הוֹצֵ֥אתִי אוֹתָ֖ם מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם אֲנִ֖י יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃ [For unto Me the children of Israel are servants; they are My servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.788/) ## 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:778 # text = כִּֽי־לִ֤י בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ עֲבָדִ֔ים עֲבָדַ֣י הֵ֔ם אֲשֶׁר־הוֹצֵ֥אתִי אוֹתָ֖ם מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם אֲנִ֖י יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃ # verse = LEV.25.55 1 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 6 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=LEV_25:55!1|MId=o030250550011|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 2-3 לִ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 ל לְ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=LEV_25:55!2|MId=o030250550021|Strong=3807a 3 ִ֤י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 6 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=LEV_25:55!2|MId=o030250550022|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 4 בְנֵֽי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 nsubj _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=LEV_25:55!3|MId=o030250550031|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 5 יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=LEV_25:55!4|MId=o030250550041|Strong=3478 6 עֲבָדִ֔ים עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=[are].servants|Ref=LEV_25:55!5|MId=o030250550051|Strong=5650 7-8 עֲבָדַ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 עֲבָד עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 parataxis _ Gloss=servants|Ref=LEV_25:55!6|MId=o030250550061|Strong=5650 8 ַ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[are].my|Ref=LEV_25:55!6|MId=o030250550062|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 9 הֵ֔ם הֵם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=LEV_25:55!7|MId=o030250550071|Strong=1992|Type=personal 10 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 11 mark _ Gloss=whom|Ref=LEV_25:55!8|MId=o030250550081|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 11 הוֹצֵ֥אתִי יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 7 acl:relcl _ Gloss=I.brought.out|Ref=LEV_25:55!9|MId=o030250550091|Strong=3318|Frame=AA:030250430062;A0:030250550102;|Type=qatal 12-13 אוֹתָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=|Ref=LEV_25:55!10|MId=o030250550101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 13 ָ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=LEV_25:55!10|MId=o030250550102|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 14-15 מֵאֶ֣רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=LEV_25:55!11|MId=o030250550111|Strong=4480 15 אֶ֣רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=LEV_25:55!11|MId=o030250550112|Strong=0776 16 מִצְרָ֑יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Egypt|Ref=LEV_25:55!12|MId=o030250550121|Strong=4714 17 אֲנִ֖י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=LEV_25:55!13|MId=o030250550131|Strong=0589|Type=personal 18 יְהוָ֥ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 6 parataxis _ Gloss=[am].Yahweh|Ref=LEV_25:55!14|MId=o030250550141|Strong=3068 19-20 אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 אֱלֹהֵי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=LEV_25:55!15|MId=o030250550151|Strong=0430 20 כֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=LEV_25:55!15|MId=o030250550152|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=LEV_25:55!15 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הוֹצֵאתִי *I brought out* | qatal · hiphil | ָם *them* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
