The page gives the verse in Biblical Aramaic as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Aramaic — and its pragmatics: who acts — eye, prophets, Jews, matter, letter — and what happens in the verse to Jews, Darius, answer, 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. וְעֵ֣ין אֱלָהֲהֹ֗ם הֲוָת֙ עַל־שָׂבֵ֣י יְהוּדָיֵ֔א וְלָא־בַטִּ֣לוּ הִמּ֔וֹ עַד־טַעְמָ֖א לְדָרְיָ֣וֶשׁ יְהָ֑ךְ וֶאֱדַ֛יִן יְתִיב֥וּן נִשְׁתְּוָנָ֖א עַל־דְּנָֽה׃פ [But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, and they did not make them cease, till the matter should come to Darius, and then answer should be returned by letter concerning it.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/EZR.124/) ## The tree {#tree} This verse is in Biblical Aramaic, as the book has it here; its tree is MACULA's Aramaic tree. Right to left, as it 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-arc:EZR:21 # text = וְעֵ֣ין אֱלָהֲהֹ֗ם הֲוָת֙ עַל־שָׂבֵ֣י יְהוּדָיֵ֔א וְלָא־בַטִּ֣לוּ הִמּ֔וֹ עַד־טַעְמָ֖א לְדָרְיָ֣וֶשׁ יְהָ֑ךְ וֶאֱדַ֛יִן יְתִיב֥וּן נִשְׁתְּוָנָ֖א עַל־דְּנָֽה׃פ # verse = EZR.5.5 1-2 וְעֵ֣ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_5:5!1|MId=o150050050011|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 2 עֵ֣ין עַיִן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=the.eye|Ref=EZR_5:5!1|MId=o150050050012|Strong=5870|Lang=arc 3-4 אֱלָהֲהֹ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֱלָה אֱלָהּ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZR_5:5!2|MId=o150050050021|Strong=0426|Lang=arc 4 ֲהֹ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their.God|Ref=EZR_5:5!2|MId=o150050050022|Strong=1952a|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 5 הֲוָת֙ הוה AUX _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 cop _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=EZR_5:5!3|MId=o150050050031|Strong=1934|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:150050050012;|Type=qatal 6 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EZR_5:5!4|MId=o150050050041|Strong=5922|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 7 שָׂבֵ֣י שָׂב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=the.elders|Ref=EZR_5:5!5|MId=o150050050051|Strong=7868|Lang=arc 8-9 יְהוּדָיֵ֔א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 יְהוּדָי יְהוּדַי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZR_5:5!6|MId=o150050050061|Strong=3062|Lang=arc|Type=gentilic 9 ֵ֔א א DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=the.Jews|Ref=EZR_5:5!6|MId=o150050050062|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 10-11 וְלָא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_5:5!7|MId=o150050050071|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 11 לָא־ לָא ADV _ _ 12 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EZR_5:5!7|MId=o150050050072|Strong=3809|Lang=arc|Type=negative 12 בַטִּ֣לוּ בְּטֵל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PAEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 7 conj _ Gloss=they.made.cease|Ref=EZR_5:5!8|MId=o150050050081|Strong=0989|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:150050030051;150050030092;150050030102;A1:150050050091;|Type=qatal 13 הִמּ֔וֹ הִמּוֹ PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=EZR_5:5!9|MId=o150050050091|Strong=1994|Lang=arc|Type=personal 14 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=EZR_5:5!10|MId=o150050050101|Strong=5705|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 15-16 טַעְמָ֖א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 טַעְמ טְעֵם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZR_5:5!11|MId=o150050050111|Strong=2942|Lang=arc 16 ָ֖א א DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=report|Ref=EZR_5:5!11|MId=o150050050112|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 17-18 לְדָרְיָ֣וֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZR_5:5!12|MId=o150050050121|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 18 דָרְיָ֣וֶשׁ דָּרְיָוֶשׁ PROPN _ _ 19 obl _ Gloss=Darius|Ref=EZR_5:5!12|MId=o150050050122|Strong=1868|Lang=arc 19 יְהָ֑ךְ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 12 parataxis _ Gloss=it.will.go|Ref=EZR_5:5!13|MId=o150050050131|Strong=1946|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:150050050111;|Type=yiqtol 20-21 וֶאֱדַ֛יִן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וֶ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_5:5!14|MId=o150050050141|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 21 אֱדַ֛יִן אֱדַיִן ADV _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=then|Ref=EZR_5:5!14|MId=o150050050142|Strong=0116|Lang=arc 22 יְתִיב֥וּן תּוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=APHEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 7 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.send.back|Ref=EZR_5:5!15|MId=o150050050151|Strong=8421|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:;A1:150050050161;|Type=yiqtol 23-24 נִשְׁתְּוָנָ֖א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 נִשְׁתְּוָנ נִשְׁתְּוָן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obj _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZR_5:5!16|MId=o150050050161|Strong=5407|Lang=arc 24 ָ֖א א DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=letter|Ref=EZR_5:5!16|MId=o150050050162|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 25 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=concerning|Ref=EZR_5:5!17|MId=o150050050171|Strong=5922|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 26 דְּנָֽה דְּנָה PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 22 obl _ Gloss=this|Ref=EZR_5:5!18|MId=o150050050181|Strong=1836|Lang=arc|Type=demonstrative|SpaceAfter=No 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=EZR_5:5!18|SpaceAfter=No 28 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=EZR_5:5!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} No stored speech act for this sentence. | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הֲוָת *it was* | qatal · peal | עֵין *the eye* | | | | | בַטִּלוּ *they made cease* | qatal · pael | | הִמּוֹ *them* | | | | יְהָךְ *it will go* | yiqtol · peal | טַעְמ *the* | | | | | יְתִיבוּן *they will send back* | yiqtol · aphel | | נִשְׁתְּוָנ *the* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
