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 — children — and what happens in the verse to children, captivity, LORD, 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. וַיֹּאכְל֣וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל הַשָּׁבִים֙ מֵֽהַגּוֹלָ֔ה וְכֹ֗ל הַנִּבְדָּ֛ל מִטֻּמְאַ֥ת גּוֹיֵֽ־הָאָ֖רֶץ אֲלֵהֶ֑ם לִדְרֹ֕שׁ לַֽיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ [And the children of Israel, that were come back out of the captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the nations of the land, to seek the LORD, the God of Israel, did eat,](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/EZR.159/) ## 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:103 # text = וַיֹּאכְל֣וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל הַשָּׁבִים֙ מֵֽהַגּוֹלָ֔ה וְכֹ֗ל הַנִּבְדָּ֛ל מִטֻּמְאַ֥ת גּוֹיֵֽ־הָאָ֖רֶץ אֲלֵהֶ֑ם לִדְרֹ֕שׁ לַֽיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ # verse = EZR.6.21 1-2 וַיֹּאכְל֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_6:21!1|MId=o150060210011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּאכְל֣וּ אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.ate|Ref=EZR_6:21!1|MId=o150060210012|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:150060210021;150060210072;A1:150060200092;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 בְנֵֽי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=EZR_6:21!2|MId=o150060210021|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 4 יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=EZR_6:21!3|MId=o150060210031|Strong=3478 5-6 הַשָּׁבִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 6 mark _ Gloss=[who|Ref=EZR_6:21!4|MId=o150060210041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 שָּׁבִים֙ שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 3 appos _ Gloss=had].returned|Ref=EZR_6:21!4|MId=o150060210042|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:150060210021;|Type=participle_active 7-9 מֵֽהַגּוֹלָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 מֵֽ מִן ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=EZR_6:21!5|MId=o150060210051|Strong=4480 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZR_6:21!5|MId=o150060210052|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 גּוֹלָ֔ה גּוֹלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=exile|Ref=EZR_6:21!5|MId=o150060210053|Strong=1473 10-11 וְכֹ֗ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_6:21!6|MId=o150060210061|Strong=2050b 11 כֹ֗ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 conj _ Gloss=every|Ref=EZR_6:21!6|MId=o150060210062|Strong=3605 12-13 הַנִּבְדָּ֛ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=(the).[one|Ref=EZR_6:21!7|MId=o150060210071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 נִּבְדָּ֛ל בָּדַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=who.had].separated.himself|Ref=EZR_6:21!7|MId=o150060210072|Strong=0914|Type=participle_passive 14-15 מִטֻּמְאַ֥ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=EZR_6:21!8|MId=o150060210081|Strong=4480 15 טֻּמְאַ֥ת טֻמְאָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 obl _ Gloss=the.uncleanness|Ref=EZR_6:21!8|MId=o150060210082|Strong=2932 16 גּוֹיֵֽ־ גּוֹי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.nations|Ref=EZR_6:21!9|MId=o150060210091|Strong=1471|SpaceAfter=No 17-18 הָאָ֖רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZR_6:21!10|MId=o150060210101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 אָ֖רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=EZR_6:21!10|MId=o150060210102|Strong=0776 19-20 אֲלֵהֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 אֲל אֶל ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZR_6:21!11|MId=o150060210111|Strong=0413 20 ֵהֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=EZR_6:21!11|MId=o150060210112|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 21-22 לִדְרֹ֕שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZR_6:21!12|MId=o150060210121|Strong=3807a 22 דְרֹ֕שׁ דָּרַשׁ VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 13 advcl _ Gloss=seek|Ref=EZR_6:21!12|MId=o150060210122|Strong=1875|Frame=A0:150060210072;|Type=infinitive_construct 23-24 לַֽיהוָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 לַֽ לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=EZR_6:21!13|MId=o150060210131|Strong=3807a 24 יהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 22 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EZR_6:21!13|MId=o150060210132|Strong=3068 25 אֱלֹהֵ֥י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 24 appos _ Gloss=the.God|Ref=EZR_6:21!14|MId=o150060210141|Strong=0430 26 יִשְׂרָאֵֽל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=EZR_6:21!15|MId=o150060210151|Strong=3478|SpaceAfter=No 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=EZR_6:21!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאכְלוּ *they ate* | wayyiqtol · qal | בְנֵֽי־ *the people* + נִּבְדָּל *who had\] separated himself* | | | | | שָּׁבִים *had\] returned* | participle active · qal | בְנֵֽי־ *the people* | | | | | דְרֹשׁ *seek* | infinitive construct · qal | נִּבְדָּל *who had\] separated himself* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
