# Leviticus 27:33 וַיִּקְרָא

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** LORD, tenth · **What happens:** not inquire, be, change, not redeem · **To what, where:** tenth, all · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Leviticus 27:33 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (The Torah). 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 — LORD, tenth — and what happens in the verse to tenth, all, 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.

[He shall not inquire whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it; and if he change it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.867/)

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
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.

- speech: inside a quote begun earlier
- negation: yes

MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant. A0 is the one who acts, A1 what the act is done to or is about, A2 a further participant; AA, with a causative verb, the one who makes it happen.

## Targum Onkelos {#onkelos}

<!-- .varc dir=rtl lang=arc -->
לָא יְבַקַר בֵּין טַב לְבִישׁ וְלָא יְחַלְפִנֵהּ וְאִם חַלָפָא יְחַלְפִנֵהּ וִיהֵי הוּא וְחִלוּפֵהּ יְהֵי קוּדְשָׁא לָא יִתְפָּרָק

The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew. Text only: Mova has no Aramaic parser yet.
