L1's `shoresh` field was derived by stripping a prefix letter and a
suffix letter from the consonants and keeping the first three. וַיַּרְא
"and he saw" was engraved as ירא ("fear"); ויהי as יהי; שמים as שמ;
מזבח as מזב; הבאתי as בא. And parse_prefixes took a word's morphology
from the LAST morph segment, which for a suffixed word is the pronominal
suffix — so every suffixed noun and verb in Torah (לבבך, נפשך) was
classed as a suffix and written with no shoresh at all.
Every WLC word already carries its lemma, and the OSHB lexical index
files each lemma under its Brown-Driver-Briggs root (terumah §E2 named
BDB + Strong's as the root lexicon and marked it "needs consolidation").
scripts/build_l1.py now reads the root from that filing:
main the lemma is a root 23,750 words וירא → ראה
sub filed under a root 31,066 words מזבח → זבח
single stands alone in the lexicon 2,671 words משה → משה
none no etymology recorded → absent 3,002 words יוסף, מצרים
particles, pronouns → absent, as before 19,493 words את, אשר, כי
57,487 words carry a shoresh (was 51,836); 1,378 unique roots (was
2,608 fragments). Roots are written as the lexicon writes them — two
letters (בן), three, or more (שמאל).
WHAT CHANGED IN THE EDUT: only `shoresh`. Verified file by file — with
that one field removed, all 5,853 verse files are byte-identical to the
previous L1. Text, consonants, lemma, morph, te'amim, prefix, ketiv/
qere, large and small letters: untouched. The old builder, run against
the same morphhb checkout, reproduces the old hash exactly; the new
builder is deterministic (two runs, one hash).

Moved together, because they pin the hash or the count:
vav_pipeline L1Reader @l1_expected_hash · shoresh-engine Luchot.Firmware

· KOHEN.md / KOHEN_PROMPT.md gate · l1/README.md (new "Roots" section) ·
README.md (second quarry) · AGENTS.md · root_meanings.pl comment.
The Doorpost manifest is not touched; its hash does not move.
Note for the kohen: the goral's seed inherits the L1 hash, so lots cast
after this commit are cast from a different seed than the azazel
records already in L3. Those records are history and stand as written.
All five suites on the new L1: Elixir 461/0 (seeds 0 42 191243) ·
Haskell 55/0 · Prolog 6 suites exit 0 (swipl 9.2.2) · korban 222 passed
1 skipped · azazel 125 passed. Four images built; full local stack
(real engine binary, PostgreSQL 16 with SSL, migrations) answers
Bereishit 1:4 with ר-א-ה, health healthy, 6 interpretations in L3,
0 write failures.

# L1 — The Aron
|
||
|
||
*Vayiten el Moshe k'khaloto l'daber ito b'har Sinai shnei luchot ha'edut, luchot even k'tuvim b'etzba Elohim.*
|
||
|
||
And He gave to Moses, when He finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## What This Is
|
||
|
||
L1 is the read-only Torah text. The firmament. Everything else in the system reads from L1. Nothing writes to L1.
|
||
|
||
The source is the **Westminster Leningrad Codex (WLC)** — the oldest complete manuscript of the Hebrew Bible with Masoretic vocalization and cantillation marks — parsed from the [Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible](https://github.com/openscriptures/morphhb) OSIS XML.
|
||
|
||
## Why Read-Only
|
||
|
||
L1 is read-only because Torah is read-only. The specification does not change because the system wishes it would. The cloud cannot be forged because the cloud is the Torah text itself. The system reads. It does not write. It does not negotiate with the Author.
|
||
|
||
In production, L1 is mounted as a squashfs image (`mount -o ro`) or with filesystem permissions set to 444. No process writes to L1. Ever.

## Verse Format
|
||
|
||
Each verse is a JSON file at `/l1/torah/{book}/{chapter}/{verse}.json`:
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"ref": "Bereishit 1:1",
|
||
"book": "bereishit",
|
||
"chapter": 1,
|
||
"verse": 1,
|
||
"text_hebrew": "בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ ׃",
|
||
"words": [
|
||
{

## Word Fields
|
||
|
||
| Field | Description | Source |
|
||
|-------|-------------|--------|
|
||
| `text` | Full text with vowels and cantillation | WLC |
|
||
| `consonants` | Consonantal text only | Stripped from WLC |
|
||
| `lemma` | Strong's number (dictionary reference) | morphhb annotations |
|
||
| `morph` | Morphological code | morphhb annotations |
|
||
| `teamim` | Cantillation mark names | Parsed from Unicode codepoints |
|
||
| `prefix` | Attached prefixes (ב,כ,ל,מ,ש,ה,ו) | Parsed from morphhb prefix codes |
|
||
| `shoresh` | Hebrew root, as Brown-Driver-Briggs files the word's lemma | Read from the OSHB lexical index by `lemma` — see *Roots* below |
|
||
|
||
## Roots
|
||
|
||
The text of L1 is the WLC. The `shoresh` on each word is not text; it is a
|
||
reading of the text, and it is read from a lexicon, not guessed.
|
||
|
||
Every word in the WLC carries its lemma (a Strong's number). The
|
||
[OSHB Hebrew Lexicon](https://github.com/openscriptures/HebrewLexicon)
|
||
(`LexicalIndex.xml`, `AugIndex.xml`) files each lemma under its
|
||
Brown-Driver-Briggs root. `scripts/build_l1.py` follows that filing:
|
||
|
||
| The lexicon says | `shoresh` | Words | Example |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| the lemma is a root (`main`) | that root | 23,750 | וַיַּרְא → ראה |
|
||
| the lemma is filed under a root (`sub`) | that root | 31,066 | מִזְבֵּחַ → זבח, לְבָבְךָ → לבב |
|
||
| the lemma stands alone (`single`) | the word itself | 2,671 | מֹשֶׁה → משה |
|
||
| no etymology recorded | *absent* | 3,002 | יוֹסֵף, מִצְרַיִם |
|
||
| — particle, preposition, conjunction, pronoun | *absent*, by rule | 19,493 | אֵת, אֲשֶׁר, כִּי |
|
||
|
||
Roots are written as the lexicon writes them: mostly three letters, some
|
||
two (בן, יד), some four or more (שמאל).
|
||
|
||
Until 2026-10-04 this field was derived by stripping letters from the
|
||
consonants and keeping the first three: וירא ("and he saw") was recorded
|
||
as ירא ("fear"), ויהי as יהי, שמים as שמ, and every word with a pronominal
|
||
suffix had no root at all. That is broken tablet 34. Only `shoresh`
|
||
changed in the re-engraving — every other field of every verse is
|
||
byte-identical to the previous L1 (hash `99bbd07a…`).
|
||
|
||
Sources at the time of engraving are recorded in `build_report.json`
|
||
(`sources`): morphhb `3d15126`, HebrewLexicon `21c9add`.
|
||
|
||
## Counts
|
||
|
||
- **5 books**, 187 chapters, 5853 verses, 79982 words
|
||
- **1378 unique shoreshim** (roots); 57,487 words carry one
|
||
- **0 verses missing te'amim** — every verse has cantillation marks
|
||
- WLC versification (5853) differs from traditional Masoretic count (5845) by 8 verses due to BHS numbering conventions
|
||
|
||
## Integrity
|
||
|
||
SHA-256: `0ee0020aac6c6beb0e83c0638a861c73d37d9dbd39c30d3cb08c1878b481c844`
|
||
|
||
Verify: the hash covers every file path and file content in the torah/ directory tree, in sorted order.
|
||
|
||
## The Shema Principle
|
||
|
||
L1 carries the raw cantillation marks (te'amim) as they appear in the Masoretic text. These marks are NOT pre-parsed into a tree. The system reads them in the act of reading — the parse tree is constructed by the reader, not stored by the library. This is the difference between a database lookup and literacy.
|
||
|
||
The te'amim, the ketiv/qere positions, the gematria values — these are all present in L1 as transmitted. The Shema Layer reads them. The Shoresh Engine constructs meaning from them. But L1 itself is the text as received. Nothing more. Nothing less.
