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 commissions, governors, people, 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. וַֽיִּתְּנ֣וּ ׀ אֶת־דָּתֵ֣י הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ לַאֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנֵי֙ הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וּפַחֲו֖וֹת עֵ֣בֶר הַנָּהָ֑ר וְנִשְּׂא֥וּ אֶת־הָעָ֖ם וְאֶת־בֵּֽית־הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ס [And they delivered the king's commissions unto the king's satraps, and to the governors beyond the River; and they furthered the people and the house of God.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/EZR.225/) ## 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:153 # text = וַֽיִּתְּנ֣וּ ׀ אֶת־דָּתֵ֣י הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ לַאֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנֵי֙ הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וּפַחֲו֖וֹת עֵ֣בֶר הַנָּהָ֑ר וְנִשְּׂא֥וּ אֶת־הָעָ֖ם וְאֶת־בֵּֽית־הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ס # verse = EZR.8.36 1-2 וַֽיִּתְּנ֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_8:36!1|MId=o150080360011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּתְּנ֣וּ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.gave|Ref=EZR_8:36!1|MId=o150080360012|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:150080010021;150080010042;150070250021;150080300022;150080300033;A1:150080360031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 2 punct _ Ref=EZR_8:36!1 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EZR_8:36!2|MId=o150080360021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5 דָּתֵ֣י דָּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 2 obj _ Gloss=the.decrees|Ref=EZR_8:36!3|MId=o150080360031|Strong=1881 6-7 הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZR_8:36!4|MId=o150080360041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 מֶּ֗לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=EZR_8:36!4|MId=o150080360042|Strong=4428 8-9 לַאֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנֵי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZR_8:36!5|MId=o150080360051|Strong=3807a 9 אֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנֵי֙ אֲחַשְׁדַּרְפַּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=the.satraps|Ref=EZR_8:36!5|MId=o150080360052|Strong=0323 10-11 הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZR_8:36!6|MId=o150080360061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 מֶּ֔לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=EZR_8:36!6|MId=o150080360062|Strong=4428 12-13 וּפַחֲו֖וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_8:36!7|MId=o150080360071|Strong=2050b 13 פַחֲו֖וֹת פֶּחָה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 conj _ Gloss=the.governors|Ref=EZR_8:36!7|MId=o150080360072|Strong=6346 14 עֵ֣בֶר עֵבֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.other.side|Ref=EZR_8:36!8|MId=o150080360081|Strong=5676 15-16 הַנָּהָ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZR_8:36!9|MId=o150080360091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 נָּהָ֑ר נָהָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.River|Ref=EZR_8:36!9|MId=o150080360092|Strong=5104 17-18 וְנִשְּׂא֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_8:36!10|MId=o150080360101|Strong=2050b 18 נִשְּׂא֥וּ נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.supported|Ref=EZR_8:36!10|MId=o150080360102|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:150080360052;150080360072;A1:150080360122;150080360141;|Type=qatal 19 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EZR_8:36!11|MId=o150080360111|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 20-21 הָעָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZR_8:36!12|MId=o150080360121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 עָ֖ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=people|Ref=EZR_8:36!12|MId=o150080360122|Strong=5971 22-23 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_8:36!13|MId=o150080360131|Strong=2050b 23 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EZR_8:36!13|MId=o150080360132|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 24 בֵּֽית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 conj _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=EZR_8:36!14|MId=o150080360141|Strong=1004|SpaceAfter=No 25-26 הָאֱלֹהִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 26 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=EZR_8:36!15|MId=o150080360151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 26 אֱלֹהִֽים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=God|Ref=EZR_8:36!15|MId=o150080360152|Strong=0430 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=EZR_8:36!15|SpaceAfter=No 28 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=EZR_8:36!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּתְּנוּ *they gave* | wayyiqtol · qal | | דָּתֵי *the decrees* | | | | נִשְּׂאוּ *they supported* | qatal · piel | אֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנֵי *the satraps* + פַחֲווֹת *the governors* | עָם *people* + בֵּֽית־ *the house* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
