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 — priests, all — and what happens in the verse to priests, passover lamb, 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. כִּ֣י הִֽטַּהֲר֞וּ הַכֹּהֲנִ֧ים וְהַלְוִיִּ֛ם כְּאֶחָ֖ד כֻּלָּ֣ם טְהוֹרִ֑ים וַיִּשְׁחֲט֤וּ הַפֶּ֙סַח֙ לְכָל־בְּנֵ֣י הַגּוֹלָ֔ה וְלַאֲחֵיהֶ֥ם הַכֹּהֲנִ֖ים וְלָהֶֽם׃ [For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together; all of them were pure; and they killed the passover lamb for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/EZR.158/) ## 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:102 # text = כִּ֣י הִֽטַּהֲר֞וּ הַכֹּהֲנִ֧ים וְהַלְוִיִּ֛ם כְּאֶחָ֖ד כֻּלָּ֣ם טְהוֹרִ֑ים וַיִּשְׁחֲט֤וּ הַפֶּ֙סַח֙ לְכָל־בְּנֵ֣י הַגּוֹלָ֔ה וְלַאֲחֵיהֶ֥ם הַכֹּהֲנִ֖ים וְלָהֶֽם׃ # verse = EZR.6.20 1 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=EZR_6:20!1|MId=o150060200011|Strong=3588 2 הִֽטַּהֲר֞וּ טָהֵר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.had.purified.themselves|Ref=EZR_6:20!2|MId=o150060200021|Strong=2891|Frame=A0:150060200032;150060200043;|Type=qatal 3-4 הַכֹּהֲנִ֧ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZR_6:20!3|MId=o150060200031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 כֹּהֲנִ֧ים כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=priests|Ref=EZR_6:20!3|MId=o150060200032|Strong=3548 5-7 וְהַלְוִיִּ֛ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_6:20!4|MId=o150060200041|Strong=2050b 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZR_6:20!4|MId=o150060200042|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 לְוִיִּ֛ם לֵוִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 conj _ Gloss=Levites|Ref=EZR_6:20!4|MId=o150060200043|Strong=3881|Type=gentilic 8-9 כְּאֶחָ֖ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=as|Ref=EZR_6:20!5|MId=o150060200051|Strong=3509a 9 אֶחָ֖ד אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=one|Ref=EZR_6:20!5|MId=o150060200052|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 10-11 כֻּלָּ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 כֻּלּ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nsubj _ Gloss=of.them|Ref=EZR_6:20!6|MId=o150060200061|Strong=3605 11 ָ֣ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=all|Ref=EZR_6:20!6|MId=o150060200062|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 12 טְהוֹרִ֑ים טָהֹר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 parataxis _ Gloss=[were].pure|Ref=EZR_6:20!7|MId=o150060200071|Strong=2889|Type=adjective 13-14 וַיִּשְׁחֲט֤וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_6:20!8|MId=o150060200081|Strong=2050b 14 יִּשְׁחֲט֤וּ שָׁחַט VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.slaughtered|Ref=EZR_6:20!8|MId=o150060200082|Strong=7819|Frame=A0:150060200043;A1:150060200092;|Type=wayyiqtol 15-16 הַפֶּ֙סַח֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZR_6:20!9|MId=o150060200091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 פֶּ֙סַח֙ פֶּסַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=passover|Ref=EZR_6:20!9|MId=o150060200092|Strong=6453 17-18 לְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EZR_6:20!10|MId=o150060200101|Strong=3807a 18 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=EZR_6:20!10|MId=o150060200102|Strong=3605 19 בְּנֵ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.children|Ref=EZR_6:20!11|MId=o150060200111|Strong=1121 20-21 הַגּוֹלָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZR_6:20!12|MId=o150060200121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 גּוֹלָ֔ה גּוֹלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.exile|Ref=EZR_6:20!12|MId=o150060200122|Strong=1473 22-25 וְלַאֲחֵיהֶ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_6:20!13|MId=o150060200131|Strong=2050b 23 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EZR_6:20!13|MId=o150060200132|Strong=3807a 24 אֲחֵי אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 conj _ Gloss=brothers|Ref=EZR_6:20!13|MId=o150060200133|Strong=0251 25 הֶ֥ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=EZR_6:20!13|MId=o150060200134|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 26-27 הַכֹּהֲנִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZR_6:20!14|MId=o150060200141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 כֹּהֲנִ֖ים כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 24 appos _ Gloss=priests|Ref=EZR_6:20!14|MId=o150060200142|Strong=3548 28-30 וְלָהֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_6:20!15|MId=o150060200151|Strong=2050b 29 ל לְ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EZR_6:20!15|MId=o150060200152|Strong=3807a 30 ָהֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 conj _ Gloss=themselves|Ref=EZR_6:20!15|MId=o150060200153|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=EZR_6:20!15 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הִֽטַּהֲרוּ *they had purified themselves* | qatal · hithpael | כֹּהֲנִים *priests* + לְוִיִּם *Levites* | | | | | יִּשְׁחֲטוּ *they slaughtered* | wayyiqtol · qal | לְוִיִּם *Levites* | פֶּסַח *passover* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
