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 — and what happens in the verse to thing, garment, hair, 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. וּכְשָׁמְעִי֙ אֶת־הַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֔ה קָרַ֥עְתִּי אֶת־בִּגְדִ֖י וּמְעִילִ֑י וָאֶמְרְטָ֞ה מִשְּׂעַ֤ר רֹאשִׁי֙ וּזְקָנִ֔י וָאֵשְׁבָ֖ה מְשׁוֹמֵֽם׃ [And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down appalled.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/EZR.228/) ## 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:156 # text = וּכְשָׁמְעִי֙ אֶת־הַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֔ה קָרַ֥עְתִּי אֶת־בִּגְדִ֖י וּמְעִילִ֑י וָאֶמְרְטָ֞ה מִשְּׂעַ֤ר רֹאשִׁי֙ וּזְקָנִ֔י וָאֵשְׁבָ֖ה מְשׁוֹמֵֽם׃ # verse = EZR.9.3 1-4 וּכְשָׁמְעִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_9:3!1|MId=o150090030011|Strong=2050b 2 כְ כְּ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=just|Ref=EZR_9:3!1|MId=o150090030012|Strong=3509a 3 שָׁמְע שָׁמַע VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 10 advcl _ Gloss=as|Ref=EZR_9:3!1|MId=o150090030013|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:150090030014;A1:150090030032;|Type=infinitive_construct 4 ִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 3 nsubj _ Gloss=I.heard|Ref=EZR_9:3!1|MId=o150090030014|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 5 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EZR_9:3!2|MId=o150090030021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 הַדָּבָ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZR_9:3!3|MId=o150090030031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 דָּבָ֣ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obj _ Gloss=matter|Ref=EZR_9:3!3|MId=o150090030032|Strong=1697 8-9 הַזֶּ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=EZR_9:3!4|MId=o150090030041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 זֶּ֔ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 7 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=EZR_9:3!4|MId=o150090030042|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 10 קָרַ֥עְתִּי קָרַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.tore|Ref=EZR_9:3!5|MId=o150090030051|Strong=7167|Frame=A0:150070250021;A1:150090030071;150090030082;|Type=qatal 11 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EZR_9:3!6|MId=o150090030061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 12-13 בִּגְדִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בִּגְד בֶּגֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obj _ Gloss=garment|Ref=EZR_9:3!7|MId=o150090030071|Strong=0899 13 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=EZR_9:3!7|MId=o150090030072|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 14-16 וּמְעִילִ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_9:3!8|MId=o150090030081|Strong=2050b 15 מְעִיל מְעִיל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 conj _ Gloss=robe|Ref=EZR_9:3!8|MId=o150090030082|Strong=4598 16 ִ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=EZR_9:3!8|MId=o150090030083|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 17-19 וָאֶמְרְטָ֞ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_9:3!9|MId=o150090030091|Strong=2050b 18 אֶמְרְט מָרַט VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 10 conj _ Gloss=I|Ref=EZR_9:3!9|MId=o150090030092|Strong=4803|Frame=A0:150070250021;|Type=wayyiqtol 19 ָ֞ה ה X _ _ 18 nmod _ Gloss=pulled.out|Ref=EZR_9:3!9|MId=o150090030093|Strong=1886j|Type=paragogic_he 20-21 מִשְּׂעַ֤ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=some|Ref=EZR_9:3!10|MId=o150090030101|Strong=4480 21 שְּׂעַ֤ר שֵׂעָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=of.the.hair|Ref=EZR_9:3!10|MId=o150090030102|Strong=8181 22-23 רֹאשִׁי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 רֹאשׁ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=my.head|Ref=EZR_9:3!11|MId=o150090030111|Strong=7218 23 ִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=EZR_9:3!11|MId=o150090030112|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 24-26 וּזְקָנִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_9:3!12|MId=o150090030121|Strong=2050b 25 זְקָנ זָקָן NOUN _ Number=Sing 21 conj _ Gloss=beard|Ref=EZR_9:3!12|MId=o150090030122|Strong=2206 26 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=EZR_9:3!12|MId=o150090030123|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 27-29 וָאֵשְׁבָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_9:3!13|MId=o150090030131|Strong=2050b 28 אֵשְׁב יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 10 conj _ Gloss=I|Ref=EZR_9:3!13|MId=o150090030132|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:150070250021;|Type=wayyiqtol 29 ָ֖ה ה X _ _ 28 nmod _ Gloss=sat.down|Ref=EZR_9:3!13|MId=o150090030133|Strong=1886j|Type=paragogic_he 30 מְשׁוֹמֵֽם שָׁמֵם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=POEL|Number=Sing 28 obl:npmod _ Gloss=appalled|Ref=EZR_9:3!14|MId=o150090030141|Strong=8074|Frame=A0:150070250021;|Type=participle_passive|SpaceAfter=No 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=EZR_9:3!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
