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 face, Thee, iniquities, head, guiltiness, 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. וָאֹמְרָ֗ה אֱלֹהַי֙ בֹּ֣שְׁתִּי וְנִכְלַ֔מְתִּי לְהָרִ֧ים אֱלֹהַ֛י פָּנַ֖י אֵלֶ֑יךָ כִּ֣י עֲוֺנֹתֵ֤ינוּ רָבוּ֙ לְמַ֣עְלָה רֹּ֔אשׁ וְאַשְׁמָתֵ֥נוּ גָדְלָ֖ה עַ֥ד לַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃ [and I said: 'O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to Thee, my God; for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our guiltiness is grown up unto the heavens.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/EZR.231/) ## 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:159 # text = וָאֹמְרָ֗ה אֱלֹהַי֙ בֹּ֣שְׁתִּי וְנִכְלַ֔מְתִּי לְהָרִ֧ים אֱלֹהַ֛י פָּנַ֖י אֵלֶ֑יךָ כִּ֣י עֲוֺנֹתֵ֤ינוּ רָבוּ֙ לְמַ֣עְלָה רֹּ֔אשׁ וְאַשְׁמָתֵ֥נוּ גָדְלָ֖ה עַ֥ד לַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃ # verse = EZR.9.6 1-3 וָאֹמְרָ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_9:6!1|MId=o150090060011|Strong=2050b 2 אֹמְר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I|Ref=EZR_9:6!1|MId=o150090060012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:150070250021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 ָ֗ה ה X _ _ 2 nmod _ Gloss=said|Ref=EZR_9:6!1|MId=o150090060013|Strong=1886j|Type=paragogic_he 4-5 אֱלֹהַי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אֱלֹה אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 dislocated _ Gloss=my.God|Ref=EZR_9:6!2|MId=o150090060021|Strong=0430 5 ַי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=EZR_9:6!2|MId=o150090060022|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 6 בֹּ֣שְׁתִּי בּוֹשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 11 parataxis _ Gloss=I.am.ashamed|Ref=EZR_9:6!3|MId=o150090060031|Strong=0954|Frame=A0:150070250021;|Type=qatal 7-8 וְנִכְלַ֔מְתִּי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_9:6!4|MId=o150090060041|Strong=2050b 8 נִכְלַ֔מְתִּי כָּלַם VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 6 conj _ Gloss=I.am.ashamed|Ref=EZR_9:6!4|MId=o150090060042|Strong=3637|Frame=A0:150070250021;|Type=qatal 9-10 לְהָרִ֧ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZR_9:6!5|MId=o150090060051|Strong=3807a 10 הָרִ֧ים רוּם VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 6 advcl _ Gloss=lift.up|Ref=EZR_9:6!5|MId=o150090060052|Strong=7311|Frame=AA:150070250021;A0:150090060071;|Type=infinitive_construct 11-12 אֱלֹהַ֛י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 אֱלֹה אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 ccomp _ Gloss=my.God|Ref=EZR_9:6!6|MId=o150090060061|Strong=0430 12 ַ֛י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=EZR_9:6!6|MId=o150090060062|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 13-14 פָּנַ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 פָּנ פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 10 obj _ Gloss=face|Ref=EZR_9:6!7|MId=o150090060071|Strong=6440 14 ַ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=EZR_9:6!7|MId=o150090060072|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 15-16 אֵלֶ֑יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 אֵלֶ֑י אֶל ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZR_9:6!8|MId=o150090060081|Strong=0413 16 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=EZR_9:6!8|MId=o150090060082|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 17 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 20 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=EZR_9:6!9|MId=o150090060091|Strong=3588 18-19 עֲוֺנֹתֵ֤ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 עֲוֺנֹתֵ֤י עָוֺן NOUN _ Number=Plur 20 nsubj _ Gloss=iniquities|Ref=EZR_9:6!10|MId=o150090060101|Strong=5771 19 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=EZR_9:6!10|MId=o150090060102|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 20 רָבוּ֙ רָבָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 11 advcl _ Gloss=they.have.increased|Ref=EZR_9:6!11|MId=o150090060111|Strong=7235|Frame=A0:150090060101;|Type=qatal 21-23 לְמַ֣עְלָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=EZR_9:6!12|MId=o150090060121|Strong=3807a 22 מַ֣עְל מַעַל ADV _ _ 20 obl _ Gloss=upwards|Ref=EZR_9:6!12|MId=o150090060122|Strong=4605 23 ָה ה X _ _ 22 nmod _ Gloss=|Ref=EZR_9:6!12|MId=o150090060123|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 24 רֹּ֔אשׁ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 nmod _ Gloss=a.head|Ref=EZR_9:6!13|MId=o150090060131|Strong=7218 25-27 וְאַשְׁמָתֵ֥נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_9:6!14|MId=o150090060141|Strong=2050b 26 אַשְׁמָת אַשְׁמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 28 nsubj _ Gloss=guilt|Ref=EZR_9:6!14|MId=o150090060142|Strong=0819 27 ֵ֥נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 26 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=EZR_9:6!14|MId=o150090060143|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 28 גָדְלָ֖ה גָּדַל VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 11 conj _ Gloss=it.is.great|Ref=EZR_9:6!15|MId=o150090060151|Strong=1431|Frame=A0:150090060142;|Type=qatal 29 עַ֥ד עַד ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZR_9:6!16|MId=o150090060161|Strong=5704 30-32 לַשָּׁמָֽיִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=EZR_9:6!17|MId=o150090060171|Strong=3807a 31 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 32 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZR_9:6!17|MId=o150090060171ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 32 שָּׁמָֽיִם שָׁמַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 28 obl _ Gloss=heavens|Ref=EZR_9:6!17|MId=o150090060172|Strong=8064 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=EZR_9:6!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
