# Leviticus 27:7 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And if it be from sixty years old and upward: if it be a male, then thy valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** valuation, thy · **What happens:** be, valuate · **To what, where:** male, fifteen shekels

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Leviticus 27:7 · JPS 1917 in the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, from Mova's open Bible corpus. The page gives the sentence's syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, parsed by Mova and checked by a teacher model — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (valuation, thy), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it. The original of the verse links back to its own tree and to the Targum.
