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 — priest, soul, person — and what happens in the verse to atonement, error, person, 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 36 chapters of Numbers on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וְכִפֶּ֣ר הַכֹּהֵ֗ן עַל־הַנֶּ֧פֶשׁ הַשֹּׁגֶ֛גֶת בְּחֶטְאָ֥ה בִשְׁגָגָ֖ה לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה לְכַפֵּ֥ר עָלָ֖יו וְנִסְלַ֥ח לֽוֹ׃ [And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that erreth, when he sinneth through error, before the LORD, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven,](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.596/) ## 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:NUM:576 # text = וְכִפֶּ֣ר הַכֹּהֵ֗ן עַל־הַנֶּ֧פֶשׁ הַשֹּׁגֶ֛גֶת בְּחֶטְאָ֥ה בִשְׁגָגָ֖ה לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה לְכַפֵּ֥ר עָלָ֖יו וְנִסְלַ֥ח לֽוֹ׃ # verse = NUM.15.28 1-2 וְכִפֶּ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_15:28!1|MId=o040150280011|Strong=2050b 2 כִפֶּ֣ר כִּפֶּר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.make.atonement|Ref=NUM_15:28!1|MId=o040150280012|Strong=3722|Frame=A0:040150280022;|Type=weqatal 3-4 הַכֹּהֵ֗ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_15:28!2|MId=o040150280021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 כֹּהֵ֗ן כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=priest|Ref=NUM_15:28!2|MId=o040150280022|Strong=3548 5 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_15:28!3|MId=o040150280031|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 הַנֶּ֧פֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_15:28!4|MId=o040150280041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 נֶּ֧פֶשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=person|Ref=NUM_15:28!4|MId=o040150280042|Strong=5315 8-9 הַשֹּׁגֶ֛גֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=[who].has|Ref=NUM_15:28!5|MId=o040150280051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 שֹּׁגֶ֛גֶת שׁגג VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 7 acl:relcl _ Gloss=sinned.inadvertently|Ref=NUM_15:28!5|MId=o040150280052|Strong=7683|Frame=A0:040150280042;|Type=participle_active 10-11 בְּחֶטְאָ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=NUM_15:28!6|MId=o040150280061|Strong=0871a 11 חֶטְאָ֥ה חֶטְאָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=sin|Ref=NUM_15:28!6|MId=o040150280062|Strong=2400a 12-13 בִשְׁגָגָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בִ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=NUM_15:28!7|MId=o040150280071|Strong=0871a 13 שְׁגָגָ֖ה שְׁגָגָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=inadvertence|Ref=NUM_15:28!7|MId=o040150280072|Strong=7684 14-15 לִפְנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=NUM_15:28!8|MId=o040150280081|Strong=3807a 15 פְנֵ֣י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_15:28!8|MId=o040150280082|Strong=6440 16 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_15:28!9|MId=o040150280091|Strong=3068 17-18 לְכַפֵּ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_15:28!10|MId=o040150280101|Strong=3807a 18 כַפֵּ֥ר כִּפֶּר VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 2 advcl _ Gloss=make.atonement|Ref=NUM_15:28!10|MId=o040150280102|Strong=3722|Frame=A0:040150280022;|Type=infinitive_construct 19-20 עָלָ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 עָלָ֖י עַל ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_15:28!11|MId=o040150280111|Strong=5921 20 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=NUM_15:28!11|MId=o040150280112|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 21-22 וְנִסְלַ֥ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_15:28!12|MId=o040150280121|Strong=2050b 22 נִסְלַ֥ח סָלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.will.be.forgiven|Ref=NUM_15:28!12|MId=o040150280122|Strong=5545|Type=qatal 23-24 לֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 ל לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_15:28!13|MId=o040150280131|Strong=3807a 24 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=NUM_15:28!13|MId=o040150280132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=NUM_15:28!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | כִפֶּר *he will make atonement* | weqatal · piel | כֹּהֵן *priest* | | | | | שֹּׁגֶגֶת *sinned inadvertently* | participle active · qal | נֶּפֶשׁ *person* | | | | | כַפֵּר *make atonement* | infinitive construct · piel | כֹּהֵן *priest* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
