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 — I, Ye, vessels, silver — and what happens in the verse to freewill offering, 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. וָאֹמְרָ֣ה אֲלֵהֶ֗ם אַתֶּ֥ם קֹ֙דֶשׁ֙ לַיהוָ֔ה וְהַכֵּלִ֖ים קֹ֑דֶשׁ וְהַכֶּ֤סֶף וְהַזָּהָב֙ נְדָבָ֔ה לַיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י אֲבֹתֵיכֶֽם׃ [And I said unto them: 'Ye are holy unto the LORD, and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are a freewill-offering unto the LORD, the God of your fathers.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/EZR.217/) ## 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:145 # text = וָאֹמְרָ֣ה אֲלֵהֶ֗ם אַתֶּ֥ם קֹ֙דֶשׁ֙ לַיהוָ֔ה וְהַכֵּלִ֖ים קֹ֑דֶשׁ וְהַכֶּ֤סֶף וְהַזָּהָב֙ נְדָבָ֔ה לַיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י אֲבֹתֵיכֶֽם׃ # verse = EZR.8.28 1-3 וָאֹמְרָ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_8:28!1|MId=o150080280011|Strong=2050b 2 אֹמְר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I|Ref=EZR_8:28!1|MId=o150080280012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:150070250021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 ָ֣ה ה X _ _ 2 nmod _ Gloss=said|Ref=EZR_8:28!1|MId=o150080280013|Strong=1886j|Type=paragogic_he 4-5 אֲלֵהֶ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אֲל אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZR_8:28!2|MId=o150080280021|Strong=0413 5 ֵהֶ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=EZR_8:28!2|MId=o150080280022|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 6 אַתֶּ֥ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=EZR_8:28!3|MId=o150080280031|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 7 קֹ֙דֶשׁ֙ קֹדֶשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=[are].holy.person[s]|Ref=EZR_8:28!4|MId=o150080280041|Strong=6944 8-9 לַיהוָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZR_8:28!5|MId=o150080280051|Strong=3807a 9 יהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 7 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EZR_8:28!5|MId=o150080280052|Strong=3068 10-12 וְהַכֵּלִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_8:28!6|MId=o150080280061|Strong=2050b 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZR_8:28!6|MId=o150080280062|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 כֵּלִ֖ים כְּלִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 nsubj _ Gloss=vessels|Ref=EZR_8:28!6|MId=o150080280063|Strong=3627 13 קֹ֑דֶשׁ קֹדֶשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 conj _ Gloss=[are].holy.thing[s]|Ref=EZR_8:28!7|MId=o150080280071|Strong=6944 14-16 וְהַכֶּ֤סֶף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_8:28!8|MId=o150080280081|Strong=2050b 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZR_8:28!8|MId=o150080280082|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 כֶּ֤סֶף כֶּסֶף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 nsubj _ Gloss=silver|Ref=EZR_8:28!8|MId=o150080280083|Strong=3701 17-19 וְהַזָּהָב֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_8:28!9|MId=o150080280091|Strong=2050b 18 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZR_8:28!9|MId=o150080280092|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 זָּהָב֙ זָהָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 conj _ Gloss=gold|Ref=EZR_8:28!9|MId=o150080280093|Strong=2091 20 נְדָבָ֔ה נְדָבָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 conj _ Gloss=[are].a.freewill.offering|Ref=EZR_8:28!10|MId=o150080280101|Strong=5071 21-22 לַיהוָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZR_8:28!11|MId=o150080280111|Strong=3807a 22 יהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 20 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EZR_8:28!11|MId=o150080280112|Strong=3068 23 אֱלֹהֵ֥י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 22 appos _ Gloss=the.God|Ref=EZR_8:28!12|MId=o150080280121|Strong=0430 24-25 אֲבֹתֵיכֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 אֲבֹתֵי אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.ancestors|Ref=EZR_8:28!13|MId=o150080280131|Strong=0001 25 כֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EZR_8:28!13|MId=o150080280132|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=EZR_8:28!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֹמְר *I* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
