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 — and what happens in the verse to bullock, hand, head, 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. וְהֵבִ֣יא אֶת־הַפָּ֗ר אֶל־פֶּ֛תַח אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵ֖ד לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וְסָמַ֤ךְ אֶת־יָדוֹ֙ עַל־רֹ֣אשׁ הַפָּ֔ר וְשָׁחַ֥ט אֶת־הַפָּ֖ר לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ [And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tent of meeting before the LORD; and he shall lay his hand upon the head of the bullock, and kill the bullock before the LORD.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/LEV.53/) ## 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:53 # text = וְהֵבִ֣יא אֶת־הַפָּ֗ר אֶל־פֶּ֛תַח אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵ֖ד לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וְסָמַ֤ךְ אֶת־יָדוֹ֙ עַל־רֹ֣אשׁ הַפָּ֔ר וְשָׁחַ֥ט אֶת־הַפָּ֖ר לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ # verse = LEV.4.4 1-2 וְהֵבִ֣יא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_4:4!1|MId=o030040040011|Strong=2050b 2 הֵבִ֣יא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.bring|Ref=LEV_4:4!1|MId=o030040040012|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:030040030022;A0:030040040032;|Type=weqatal 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=LEV_4:4!2|MId=o030040040021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 הַפָּ֗ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_4:4!3|MId=o030040040031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 פָּ֗ר פַּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=bull|Ref=LEV_4:4!3|MId=o030040040032|Strong=6499 6 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=LEV_4:4!4|MId=o030040040041|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 7 פֶּ֛תַח פֶּתַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.entrance|Ref=LEV_4:4!5|MId=o030040040051|Strong=6607 8 אֹ֥הֶל אֹהֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.tent|Ref=LEV_4:4!6|MId=o030040040061|Strong=0168 9 מוֹעֵ֖ד מוֹעֵד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.meeting|Ref=LEV_4:4!7|MId=o030040040071|Strong=4150 10-11 לִפְנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=LEV_4:4!8|MId=o030040040081|Strong=3807a 11 פְנֵ֣י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=LEV_4:4!8|MId=o030040040082|Strong=6440 12 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=LEV_4:4!9|MId=o030040040091|Strong=3068 13-14 וְסָמַ֤ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_4:4!10|MId=o030040040101|Strong=2050b 14 סָמַ֤ךְ סָמַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.will.lean|Ref=LEV_4:4!10|MId=o030040040102|Strong=5564|Frame=A0:030040030022;A1:030040040121;|Type=weqatal 15 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=LEV_4:4!11|MId=o030040040111|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 16-17 יָדוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=hand|Ref=LEV_4:4!12|MId=o030040040121|Strong=3027 17 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=LEV_4:4!12|MId=o030040040122|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 18 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=LEV_4:4!13|MId=o030040040131|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 19 רֹ֣אשׁ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=the.head|Ref=LEV_4:4!14|MId=o030040040141|Strong=7218 20-21 הַפָּ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=LEV_4:4!15|MId=o030040040151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 פָּ֔ר פַּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.bull|Ref=LEV_4:4!15|MId=o030040040152|Strong=6499 22-23 וְשָׁחַ֥ט _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=LEV_4:4!16|MId=o030040040161|Strong=2050b 23 שָׁחַ֥ט שָׁחַט VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.will.cut.the.throat.of|Ref=LEV_4:4!16|MId=o030040040162|Strong=7819|Frame=A0:030040030022;A1:030040040182;|Type=weqatal 24 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=LEV_4:4!17|MId=o030040040171|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 25-26 הַפָּ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 26 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=LEV_4:4!18|MId=o030040040181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 26 פָּ֖ר פַּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 obj _ Gloss=bull|Ref=LEV_4:4!18|MId=o030040040182|Strong=6499 27-28 לִפְנֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=LEV_4:4!19|MId=o030040040191|Strong=3807a 28 פְנֵ֥י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 23 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=LEV_4:4!19|MId=o030040040192|Strong=6440 29 יְהוָֽה יהוה PROPN _ _ 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=LEV_4:4!20|MId=o030040040201|Strong=3068|SpaceAfter=No 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=LEV_4:4!20 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הֵבִיא *he will bring* | weqatal · hiphil | פָּר *bull* | | | | | סָמַךְ *he will lean* | weqatal · qal | | יָד *hand* | | | | שָׁחַט *he will cut the throat of* | weqatal · qal | | פָּר *bull* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
