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 — fathers, house, some — and what happens in the verse to house, Jerusalem, place, 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. וּמֵרָאשֵׁי֙ הָֽאָב֔וֹת בְּבוֹאָ֕ם לְבֵ֥ית יְהוָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם הִֽתְנַדְּבוּ֙ לְבֵ֣ית הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים לְהַעֲמִיד֖וֹ עַל־מְכוֹנֽוֹ׃ [And some of the heads of fathers' houses, when they came to the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem, offered willingly for the house of God to set it up in its place;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/EZR.80/) ## 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:78 # text = וּמֵרָאשֵׁי֙ הָֽאָב֔וֹת בְּבוֹאָ֕ם לְבֵ֥ית יְהוָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם הִֽתְנַדְּבוּ֙ לְבֵ֣ית הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים לְהַעֲמִיד֖וֹ עַל־מְכוֹנֽוֹ׃ # verse = EZR.2.68 1-3 וּמֵרָאשֵׁי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_2:68!1|MId=o150020680011|Strong=2050b 2 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=some|Ref=EZR_2:68!1|MId=o150020680012|Strong=4480 3 רָאשֵׁי֙ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 nsubj _ Gloss=of.the.heads|Ref=EZR_2:68!1|MId=o150020680013|Strong=7218 4-5 הָֽאָב֔וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZR_2:68!2|MId=o150020680021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 אָב֔וֹת אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.fathers|Ref=EZR_2:68!2|MId=o150020680022|Strong=0001 6-8 בְּבוֹאָ֕ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=EZR_2:68!3|MId=o150020680031|Strong=0871a 7 בוֹא בּוֹא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 15 advcl _ Gloss=came|Ref=EZR_2:68!3|MId=o150020680032|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:150020680033;|Type=infinitive_construct 8 ָ֕ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=EZR_2:68!3|MId=o150020680033|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 9-10 לְבֵ֥ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZR_2:68!4|MId=o150020680041|Strong=3807a 10 בֵ֥ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=EZR_2:68!4|MId=o150020680042|Strong=1004 11 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=EZR_2:68!5|MId=o150020680051|Strong=3068 12 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=EZR_2:68!6|MId=o150020680061|Strong=0834|Type=relative 13-14 בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=[is].in|Ref=EZR_2:68!7|MId=o150020680071|Strong=0871a 14 ירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 10 acl:relcl _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=EZR_2:68!7|MId=o150020680072|Strong=3389 15 הִֽתְנַדְּבוּ֙ נָדַב VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.offered.freewill.offerings|Ref=EZR_2:68!8|MId=o150020680081|Strong=5068|Frame=A0:150020680013;|Type=qatal 16-17 לְבֵ֣ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EZR_2:68!9|MId=o150020680091|Strong=3807a 17 בֵ֣ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=EZR_2:68!9|MId=o150020680092|Strong=1004 18-19 הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=EZR_2:68!10|MId=o150020680101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 אֱלֹהִ֔ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=God|Ref=EZR_2:68!10|MId=o150020680102|Strong=0430 20-22 לְהַעֲמִיד֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZR_2:68!11|MId=o150020680111|Strong=3807a 21 הַעֲמִיד עָמַד VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 15 advcl _ Gloss=erect|Ref=EZR_2:68!11|MId=o150020680112|Strong=5975|Frame=AA:150020680013;A0:150020680113;|Type=infinitive_construct 22 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=EZR_2:68!11|MId=o150020680113|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EZR_2:68!12|MId=o150020680121|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 24-25 מְכוֹנֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 מְכוֹנ מָכוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=place|Ref=EZR_2:68!13|MId=o150020680131|Strong=4349 25 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=EZR_2:68!13|MId=o150020680132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=EZR_2:68!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | בוֹא *came* | infinitive construct · qal | ָם *they* | | | | | הִֽתְנַדְּבוּ *they offered freewill offerings* | qatal · hithpael | רָאשֵׁי *of the heads* | | | | | הַעֲמִיד *erect* | infinitive construct · hiphil | וֹ *it* | | | רָאשֵׁי *of the heads* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
