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 — God, you, decree, wrath — and what happens in the verse to Whatsoever, decree, 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. כָּל־דִּ֗י מִן־טַ֙עַם֙ אֱלָ֣הּ שְׁמַיָּ֔א יִתְעֲבֵד֙ אַדְרַזְדָּ֔א לְבֵ֖ית אֱלָ֣הּ שְׁמַיָּ֑א דִּֽי־לְמָ֤ה לֶֽהֱוֵא֙ קְצַ֔ף עַל־מַלְכ֥וּת מַלְכָּ֖א וּבְנֽוֹהִי׃ [Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/EZR.183/) ## 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:63 # text = כָּל־דִּ֗י מִן־טַ֙עַם֙ אֱלָ֣הּ שְׁמַיָּ֔א יִתְעֲבֵד֙ אַדְרַזְדָּ֔א לְבֵ֖ית אֱלָ֣הּ שְׁמַיָּ֑א דִּֽי־לְמָ֤ה לֶֽהֱוֵא֙ קְצַ֔ף עַל־מַלְכ֥וּת מַלְכָּ֖א וּבְנֽוֹהִי׃ # verse = EZR.7.23 1 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 nsubj _ Gloss=all|Ref=EZR_7:23!1|MId=o150070230011|Strong=3606|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 2 דִּ֗י דִּי SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=EZR_7:23!2|MId=o150070230021|Strong=1768|Lang=arc|Type=relative 3 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=[is].according.to|Ref=EZR_7:23!3|MId=o150070230031|Strong=4481|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 4 טַ֙עַם֙ טְעֵם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 acl:relcl _ Gloss=the.decree|Ref=EZR_7:23!4|MId=o150070230041|Strong=2942|Lang=arc 5 אֱלָ֣הּ אֱלָהּ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.God|Ref=EZR_7:23!5|MId=o150070230051|Strong=0426|Lang=arc 6-7 שְׁמַיָּ֔א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 שְׁמַיּ שָׁמַיִן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZR_7:23!6|MId=o150070230061|Strong=8065|Lang=arc 7 ָ֔א א DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the.heavens|Ref=EZR_7:23!6|MId=o150070230062|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 8 יִתְעֲבֵד֙ עֲבַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPEEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=let.it.be.done|Ref=EZR_7:23!7|MId=o150070230071|Strong=5648|Lang=arc|Frame=A1:150070230011;|Type=yiqtol 9 אַדְרַזְדָּ֔א אַדְרַזְדָּא ADV _ _ 8 advmod _ Gloss=exactly|Ref=EZR_7:23!8|MId=o150070230081|Strong=0149|Lang=arc 10-11 לְבֵ֖ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EZR_7:23!9|MId=o150070230091|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 11 בֵ֖ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=EZR_7:23!9|MId=o150070230092|Strong=1005|Lang=arc 12 אֱלָ֣הּ אֱלָהּ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.God|Ref=EZR_7:23!10|MId=o150070230101|Strong=0426|Lang=arc 13-14 שְׁמַיָּ֑א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 שְׁמַיּ שָׁמַיִן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZR_7:23!11|MId=o150070230111|Strong=8065|Lang=arc 14 ָ֑א א DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the.heavens|Ref=EZR_7:23!11|MId=o150070230112|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 15 דִּֽי־ דִּי SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=EZR_7:23!12|MId=o150070230121|Strong=1768|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 16-17 לְמָ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=|Ref=EZR_7:23!13|MId=o150070230131|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 17 מָ֤ה מָה PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|PronType=Int 8 parataxis _ Gloss=why?|Ref=EZR_7:23!13|MId=o150070230132|Strong=4101|Lang=arc|Type=interrogative 18 לֶֽהֱוֵא֙ הוה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 17 cop _ Gloss=will.it.be|Ref=EZR_7:23!14|MId=o150070230141|Strong=1934|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:150070230151;|Type=yiqtol 19 קְצַ֔ף קְצַף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 nsubj _ Gloss=anger|Ref=EZR_7:23!15|MId=o150070230151|Strong=7109|Lang=arc 20 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EZR_7:23!16|MId=o150070230161|Strong=5922|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 21 מַלְכ֥וּת מַלְכוּ NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=the.kingdom|Ref=EZR_7:23!17|MId=o150070230171|Strong=4437|Lang=arc 22-23 מַלְכָּ֖א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 מַלְכּ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZR_7:23!18|MId=o150070230181|Strong=4430|Lang=arc 23 ָ֖א א DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=EZR_7:23!18|MId=o150070230182|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 24-26 וּבְנֽוֹהִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_7:23!19|MId=o150070230191|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 25 בְנֽוֹ בַּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 22 conj _ Gloss=sons|Ref=EZR_7:23!19|MId=o150070230192|Strong=1123|Lang=arc 26 הִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EZR_7:23!19|MId=o150070230193|Strong=1958b|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=EZR_7:23!19 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִתְעֲבֵד *let it be done* | yiqtol · hithpeel | | כָּל־ *all* | | | | לֶֽהֱוֵא *will it be* | yiqtol · peal | קְצַף *anger* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
