Leviticus 8:18 וַיִּקְרָא

Who acts: Aaron · What happens: present, lay · To what, where: ram, hands, head

This is Leviticus 8:18 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 — Aaron — and what happens in the verse to ram, hands, 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.

וַיַּקְרֵ֕ב אֵ֖ת אֵ֣יל הָעֹלָ֑ה וַֽיִּסְמְכ֞וּ אַהֲרֹ֧ן וּבָנָ֛יו אֶת־יְדֵיהֶ֖ם עַל־רֹ֥אשׁ הָאָֽיִל׃

And the ram of the burnt-offering was presented; and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.

The 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.

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

וְקָרִיב יָת דִכְרָא דַעֲלָתָא וּסְמָכוּ אַהֲרֹן וּבְנוֹהִי יָת יְדֵיהוֹן עַל רֵישׁ דִכְרָא

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