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 — Cyrus, LORD, Jerusalem — and what happens in the verse to kingdoms, me, house, LORD, Jerusalem, Judah, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 10 chapters of Ezra on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. כֹּ֣ה אָמַ֗ר כֹּ֚רֶשׁ מֶ֣לֶךְ פָּרַ֔ס כֹּ֚ל מַמְלְכ֣וֹת הָאָ֔רֶץ נָ֣תַן לִ֔י יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם וְהֽוּא־פָקַ֤ד עָלַי֙ לִבְנֽוֹת־ל֣וֹ בַ֔יִת בִּירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר בִּֽיהוּדָֽה׃ ['Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD, the God of heaven, given me; and He hath charged me to build Him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/EZR.1/) ## 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:EZR:1 # text = כֹּ֣ה אָמַ֗ר כֹּ֚רֶשׁ מֶ֣לֶךְ פָּרַ֔ס כֹּ֚ל מַמְלְכ֣וֹת הָאָ֔רֶץ נָ֣תַן לִ֔י יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם וְהֽוּא־פָקַ֤ד עָלַי֙ לִבְנֽוֹת־ל֣וֹ בַ֔יִת בִּירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר בִּֽיהוּדָֽה׃ # verse = EZR.1.2 1 כֹּ֣ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=EZR_1:2!1|MId=o150010020011|Strong=3541 2 אָמַ֗ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=EZR_1:2!2|MId=o150010020021|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:150010020031;|Type=qatal 3 כֹּ֚רֶשׁ כּוֹרֶשׁ PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Cyrus|Ref=EZR_1:2!3|MId=o150010020031|Strong=3566 4 מֶ֣לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 appos _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=EZR_1:2!4|MId=o150010020041|Strong=4428 5 פָּרַ֔ס פָּרַס PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Persia|Ref=EZR_1:2!5|MId=o150010020051|Strong=6539 6 כֹּ֚ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=EZR_1:2!6|MId=o150010020061|Strong=3605 7 מַמְלְכ֣וֹת מַמְלָכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.kingdoms|Ref=EZR_1:2!7|MId=o150010020071|Strong=4467 8-9 הָאָ֔רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZR_1:2!8|MId=o150010020081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 אָ֔רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.earth|Ref=EZR_1:2!8|MId=o150010020082|Strong=0776 10 נָ֣תַן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=he.has.given|Ref=EZR_1:2!9|MId=o150010020091|Strong=5414|Frame=A1:150010020071;A0:150010020111;|Type=qatal 11-12 לִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 ל לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZR_1:2!10|MId=o150010020101|Strong=3807a 12 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=EZR_1:2!10|MId=o150010020102|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 13 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 10 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EZR_1:2!11|MId=o150010020111|Strong=3068 14 אֱלֹהֵ֣י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 appos _ Gloss=the.God|Ref=EZR_1:2!12|MId=o150010020121|Strong=0430 15-16 הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZR_1:2!13|MId=o150010020131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 שָּׁמָ֑יִם שָׁמַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.heavens|Ref=EZR_1:2!13|MId=o150010020132|Strong=8064 17-18 וְהֽוּא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_1:2!14|MId=o150010020141|Strong=2050b 18 הֽוּא־ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=EZR_1:2!14|MId=o150010020142|Strong=1931|Type=personal 19 פָקַ֤ד פָּקַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 10 conj _ Gloss=he.has.appointed|Ref=EZR_1:2!15|MId=o150010020151|Strong=6485|Frame=A0:150010020142;|Type=qatal 20-21 עָלַי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 עָל עַל ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(on)|Ref=EZR_1:2!16|MId=o150010020161|Strong=5921 21 ַי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=EZR_1:2!16|MId=o150010020162|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 22-23 לִבְנֽוֹת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZR_1:2!17|MId=o150010020171|Strong=3807a 23 בְנֽוֹת־ בָּנָה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 19 advcl _ Gloss=build|Ref=EZR_1:2!17|MId=o150010020172|Strong=1129|Frame=A0:150010020031;A1:150010020191;|Type=infinitive_construct 24-25 ל֣וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 ל לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EZR_1:2!18|MId=o150010020181|Strong=3807a 25 ֣וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=EZR_1:2!18|MId=o150010020182|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26 בַ֔יִת בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 obj _ Gloss=a.house|Ref=EZR_1:2!19|MId=o150010020191|Strong=1004 27-28 בִּירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZR_1:2!20|MId=o150010020201|Strong=0871a 28 ירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 23 obl _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=EZR_1:2!20|MId=o150010020202|Strong=3389 29 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 31 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=EZR_1:2!21|MId=o150010020211|Strong=0834|Type=relative 30-31 בִּֽיהוּדָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 בִּֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=[is].in|Ref=EZR_1:2!22|MId=o150010020221|Strong=0871a 31 יהוּדָֽה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 28 acl:relcl _ Gloss=Judah|Ref=EZR_1:2!22|MId=o150010020222|Strong=3063 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=EZR_1:2!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
