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 — expenses — and what happens in the verse to sacrifices, sweet savour, 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. דִּֽי־לֶהֱוֺ֧ן מְהַקְרְבִ֛ין נִיחוֹחִ֖ין לֶאֱלָ֣הּ שְׁמַיָּ֑א וּמְצַלַּ֕יִן לְחַיֵּ֥י מַלְכָּ֖א וּבְנֽוֹהִי׃ [that they may offer sacrifices of sweet savour unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/EZR.146/) ## 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:43 # text = דִּֽי־לֶהֱוֺ֧ן מְהַקְרְבִ֛ין נִיחוֹחִ֖ין לֶאֱלָ֣הּ שְׁמַיָּ֑א וּמְצַלַּ֕יִן לְחַיֵּ֥י מַלְכָּ֖א וּבְנֽוֹהִי׃ # verse = EZR.6.10 1 דִּֽי־ דִּי SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=EZR_6:10!1|MId=o150060100011|Strong=1768|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 2 לֶהֱוֺ֧ן הוה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.will.be|Ref=EZR_6:10!2|MId=o150060100021|Strong=1934|Lang=arc|Type=yiqtol 3 מְהַקְרְבִ֛ין קְרֵב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HAPHEL|Number=Plur 2 dep _ Gloss=offering|Ref=EZR_6:10!3|MId=o150060100031|Strong=7127|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:150060080252;A1:150060100041;|Type=participle_active 4 נִיחוֹחִ֖ין נִיחוֹחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obj _ Gloss=soothing.offerings|Ref=EZR_6:10!4|MId=o150060100041|Strong=5208|Lang=arc 5-6 לֶאֱלָ֣הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לֶ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZR_6:10!5|MId=o150060100051|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 6 אֱלָ֣הּ אֱלָהּ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.God|Ref=EZR_6:10!5|MId=o150060100052|Strong=0426|Lang=arc 7-8 שְׁמַיָּ֑א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 שְׁמַיּ שָׁמַיִן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZR_6:10!6|MId=o150060100061|Strong=8065|Lang=arc 8 ָ֑א א DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the.heavens|Ref=EZR_6:10!6|MId=o150060100062|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 9-10 וּמְצַלַּ֕יִן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_6:10!7|MId=o150060100071|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 10 מְצַלַּ֕יִן צלה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PAEL|Number=Plur 2 conj _ Gloss=praying|Ref=EZR_6:10!7|MId=o150060100072|Strong=6739|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:150060080252;|Type=participle_active 11-12 לְחַיֵּ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EZR_6:10!8|MId=o150060100081|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 12 חַיֵּ֥י חַיִּין NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 obl _ Gloss=the.life(s)|Ref=EZR_6:10!8|MId=o150060100082|Strong=2417a|Lang=arc 13-14 מַלְכָּ֖א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 מַלְכּ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZR_6:10!9|MId=o150060100091|Strong=4430|Lang=arc 14 ָ֖א א DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=EZR_6:10!9|MId=o150060100092|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 15-17 וּבְנֽוֹהִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_6:10!10|MId=o150060100101|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 16 בְנֽוֹ בַּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 conj _ Gloss=sons|Ref=EZR_6:10!10|MId=o150060100102|Strong=1123|Lang=arc 17 הִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EZR_6:10!10|MId=o150060100103|Strong=1958b|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 18 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 17 punct _ Ref=EZR_6:10!10 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | מְהַקְרְבִין *offering* | participle active · haphel | | נִיחוֹחִין *soothing offerings* | | | | מְצַלַּיִן *praying* | participle active · pael | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
