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 — ye — and what happens in the verse to vessels, Jerusalem, 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. שִׁקְד֣וּ וְשִׁמְר֗וּ עַֽד־תִּשְׁקְל֡וּ לִפְנֵי֩ שָׂרֵ֨י הַכֹּהֲנִ֧ים וְהַלְוִיִּ֛ם וְשָׂרֵֽי־הָאָב֥וֹת לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם הַלִּשְׁכ֖וֹת בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃ [Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the princes of the fathers' houses of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/EZR.218/) ## 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:146 # text = שִׁקְד֣וּ וְשִׁמְר֗וּ עַֽד־תִּשְׁקְל֡וּ לִפְנֵי֩ שָׂרֵ֨י הַכֹּהֲנִ֧ים וְהַלְוִיִּ֛ם וְשָׂרֵֽי־הָאָב֥וֹת לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם הַלִּשְׁכ֖וֹת בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃ # verse = EZR.8.29 1 שִׁקְד֣וּ שָׁקַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=watch|Ref=EZR_8:29!1|MId=o150080290011|Strong=8245|Frame=A0:150080240062;150080240071;150080240101;|Type=imperative 2-3 וְשִׁמְר֗וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_8:29!2|MId=o150080290021|Strong=2050b 3 שִׁמְר֗וּ שָׁמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 1 conj _ Gloss=keep.[them]|Ref=EZR_8:29!2|MId=o150080290022|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:150080240062;150080240071;150080240101;A1:150080280063;150080280083;150080280093;|Type=imperative 4 עַֽד־ עַד ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=EZR_8:29!3|MId=o150080290031|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 5 תִּשְׁקְל֡וּ שָׁקַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 1 parataxis _ Gloss=you.will.weigh.[them].out|Ref=EZR_8:29!4|MId=o150080290041|Strong=8254|Frame=A0:150080240062;150080240071;150080240101;A1:150080280063;150080280083;150080280093;|Type=yiqtol 6-7 לִפְנֵי֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=EZR_8:29!5|MId=o150080290051|Strong=3807a 7 פְנֵי֩ פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 5 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=EZR_8:29!5|MId=o150080290052|Strong=6440 8 שָׂרֵ֨י שַׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.leaders|Ref=EZR_8:29!6|MId=o150080290061|Strong=8269 9-10 הַכֹּהֲנִ֧ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZR_8:29!7|MId=o150080290071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 כֹּהֲנִ֧ים כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.priests|Ref=EZR_8:29!7|MId=o150080290072|Strong=3548 11-13 וְהַלְוִיִּ֛ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_8:29!8|MId=o150080290081|Strong=2050b 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZR_8:29!8|MId=o150080290082|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 לְוִיִּ֛ם לֵוִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 conj _ Gloss=Levites|Ref=EZR_8:29!8|MId=o150080290083|Strong=3881|Type=gentilic 14-15 וְשָׂרֵֽי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_8:29!9|MId=o150080290091|Strong=2050b 15 שָׂרֵֽי־ שַׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 conj _ Gloss=the.leaders|Ref=EZR_8:29!9|MId=o150080290092|Strong=8269 16-17 הָאָב֥וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZR_8:29!10|MId=o150080290101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 אָב֥וֹת אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.fathers|Ref=EZR_8:29!10|MId=o150080290102|Strong=0001 18-19 לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZR_8:29!11|MId=o150080290111|Strong=3807a 19 יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 15 nmod _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=EZR_8:29!11|MId=o150080290112|Strong=3478 20-21 בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZR_8:29!12|MId=o150080290121|Strong=0871a 21 ירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 5 obl _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=EZR_8:29!12|MId=o150080290122|Strong=3389 22-23 הַלִּשְׁכ֖וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZR_8:29!13|MId=o150080290131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 לִּשְׁכ֖וֹת לִשְׁכָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 5 obl _ Gloss=rooms|Ref=EZR_8:29!13|MId=o150080290132|Strong=3957 24 בֵּ֥ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.house|Ref=EZR_8:29!14|MId=o150080290141|Strong=1004 25 יְהוָֽה יהוה PROPN _ _ 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=EZR_8:29!15|MId=o150080290151|Strong=3068|SpaceAfter=No 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=EZR_8:29!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שִׁקְדוּ *watch* | imperative · qal | | | | | | שִׁמְרוּ *keep \[them\]* | imperative · qal | | | | | | תִּשְׁקְלוּ *you will weigh \[them\] out* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
