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 — you, house — and what happens in the verse to governor, house, 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. שְׁבֻ֕קוּ לַעֲבִידַ֖ת בֵּית־אֱלָהָ֣א דֵ֑ךְ פַּחַ֤ת יְהוּדָיֵא֙ וּלְשָׂבֵ֣י יְהוּדָיֵ֔א בֵּית־אֱלָהָ֥א דֵ֖ךְ יִבְנ֥וֹן עַל־אַתְרֵֽהּ׃ [let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/EZR.143/) ## 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:40 # text = שְׁבֻ֕קוּ לַעֲבִידַ֖ת בֵּית־אֱלָהָ֣א דֵ֑ךְ פַּחַ֤ת יְהוּדָיֵא֙ וּלְשָׂבֵ֣י יְהוּדָיֵ֔א בֵּית־אֱלָהָ֥א דֵ֖ךְ יִבְנ֥וֹן עַל־אַתְרֵֽהּ׃ # verse = EZR.6.7 1 שְׁבֻ֕קוּ שְׁבַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=leave!|Ref=EZR_6:7!1|MId=o150060070011|Strong=7662|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:150060060021;150060060061;150060060072;|Type=imperative 2-3 לַעֲבִידַ֖ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=(et).the|Ref=EZR_6:7!2|MId=o150060070021|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc|Type=direct_object_marker 3 עֲבִידַ֖ת עֲבִידָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 1 obl _ Gloss=work|Ref=EZR_6:7!2|MId=o150060070022|Strong=5673|Lang=arc 4 בֵּית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.house|Ref=EZR_6:7!3|MId=o150060070031|Strong=1005|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 אֱלָהָ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 אֱלָה אֱלָהּ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=EZR_6:7!4|MId=o150060070041|Strong=0426|Lang=arc 6 ָ֣א א DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=God|Ref=EZR_6:7!4|MId=o150060070042|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 7 דֵ֑ךְ דֵּךְ DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 4 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=EZR_6:7!5|MId=o150060070051|Strong=1791|Lang=arc|Type=demonstrative 8 פַּחַ֤ת פֶּחָה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 nsubj _ Gloss=the.governor|Ref=EZR_6:7!6|MId=o150060070061|Strong=6347|Lang=arc 9-10 יְהוּדָיֵא֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 יְהוּדָי יְהוּדַי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZR_6:7!7|MId=o150060070071|Strong=3062|Lang=arc|Type=gentilic 10 ֵא֙ א DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the.Jews|Ref=EZR_6:7!7|MId=o150060070072|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 11-13 וּלְשָׂבֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and.(to)|Ref=EZR_6:7!8|MId=o150060070081|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 12 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZR_6:7!8|MId=o150060070082|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 13 שָׂבֵ֣י שָׂב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 conj _ Gloss=elders|Ref=EZR_6:7!8|MId=o150060070083|Strong=7868|Lang=arc 14-15 יְהוּדָיֵ֔א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 יְהוּדָי יְהוּדַי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZR_6:7!9|MId=o150060070091|Strong=3062|Lang=arc|Type=gentilic 15 ֵ֔א א DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the.Jews|Ref=EZR_6:7!9|MId=o150060070092|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 16 בֵּית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obj _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=EZR_6:7!10|MId=o150060070101|Strong=1005|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 17-18 אֱלָהָ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 אֱלָה אֱלָהּ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=EZR_6:7!11|MId=o150060070111|Strong=0426|Lang=arc 18 ָ֥א א DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=God|Ref=EZR_6:7!11|MId=o150060070112|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 19 דֵ֖ךְ דֵּךְ DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 16 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=EZR_6:7!12|MId=o150060070121|Strong=1791|Lang=arc|Type=demonstrative 20 יִבְנ֥וֹן בְּנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=let.them.build|Ref=EZR_6:7!13|MId=o150060070131|Strong=1124|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:150060070061;150060070083;A1:150060070101;|Type=yiqtol 21 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EZR_6:7!14|MId=o150060070141|Strong=5922|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 22-23 אַתְרֵֽהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 אַתְר אֲתַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=place|Ref=EZR_6:7!15|MId=o150060070151|Strong=0870|Lang=arc 23 ֵֽהּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=EZR_6:7!15|MId=o150060070152|Strong=1886h|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=EZR_6:7!15 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שְׁבֻקוּ *leave!* | imperative · peal | | | | | | יִבְנוֹן *let them build* | yiqtol · peal | פַּחַת *the governor* + שָׂבֵי *elders* | בֵּית־ *the house* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
