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, stormy wind, fire, brightness — and what happens in the verse to north, midst, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Jonathan and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 48 chapters of Ezekiel on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וָאֵ֡רֶא וְהִנֵּה֩ ר֨וּחַ סְעָרָ֜ה בָּאָ֣ה מִן־הַצָּפ֗וֹן עָנָ֤ן גָּדוֹל֙ וְאֵ֣שׁ מִתְלַקַּ֔חַת וְנֹ֥גַֽהּ ל֖וֹ סָבִ֑יב וּמִ֨תּוֹכָ֔הּ כְּעֵ֥ין הַחַשְׁמַ֖ל מִתּ֥וֹךְ הָאֵֽשׁ׃ [And I looked, and, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with a fire flashing up, so that a brightness was round about it; and out of the midst thereof as the colour of electrum, out of the midst of the fire.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.3/) ## 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:EZK:3 # text = וָאֵ֡רֶא וְהִנֵּה֩ ר֨וּחַ סְעָרָ֜ה בָּאָ֣ה מִן־הַצָּפ֗וֹן עָנָ֤ן גָּדוֹל֙ וְאֵ֣שׁ מִתְלַקַּ֔חַת וְנֹ֥גַֽהּ ל֖וֹ סָבִ֑יב וּמִ֨תּוֹכָ֔הּ כְּעֵ֥ין הַחַשְׁמַ֖ל מִתּ֥וֹךְ הָאֵֽשׁ׃ # verse = EZK.1.4 1-2 וָאֵ֡רֶא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_1:4!1|MId=o260010040011|Strong=2050b 2 אֵ֡רֶא רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.saw|Ref=EZK_1:4!1|MId=o260010040012|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:260010030061;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 וְהִנֵּה֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_1:4!2|MId=o260010040021|Strong=2050b 4 הִנֵּה֩ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 7 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=EZK_1:4!2|MId=o260010040022|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 5 ר֨וּחַ רוּחַ NOUN _ Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=a.wind|Ref=EZK_1:4!3|MId=o260010040031|Strong=7307 6 סְעָרָ֜ה סְעָרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.storm|Ref=EZK_1:4!4|MId=o260010040041|Strong=5591a 7 בָּאָ֣ה בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=[was].coming|Ref=EZK_1:4!5|MId=o260010040051|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:260010040031;|Type=participle_active 8 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=EZK_1:4!6|MId=o260010040061|Strong=4480|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 הַצָּפ֗וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_1:4!7|MId=o260010040071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 צָּפ֗וֹן צָפוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=north|Ref=EZK_1:4!7|MId=o260010040072|Strong=6828 11 עָנָ֤ן עָנָן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 parataxis _ Gloss=a.cloud|Ref=EZK_1:4!8|MId=o260010040081|Strong=6051 12 גָּדוֹל֙ גָּדוֹל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 amod _ Gloss=great|Ref=EZK_1:4!9|MId=o260010040091|Strong=1419|Type=adjective 13-14 וְאֵ֣שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_1:4!10|MId=o260010040101|Strong=2050b 14 אֵ֣שׁ אֵשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 11 conj _ Gloss=fire|Ref=EZK_1:4!10|MId=o260010040102|Strong=0784 15 מִתְלַקַּ֔חַת לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Sing 14 nmod _ Gloss=flashing|Ref=EZK_1:4!11|MId=o260010040111|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:260010040102;|Type=participle_active 16-17 וְנֹ֥גַֽהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_1:4!12|MId=o260010040121|Strong=2050b 17 נֹ֥גַֽהּ נֹגַהּ NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=brightness|Ref=EZK_1:4!12|MId=o260010040122|Strong=5051 18-19 ל֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 ל לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=[belonged].to|Ref=EZK_1:4!13|MId=o260010040131|Strong=3807a 19 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 conj _ Gloss=it|Ref=EZK_1:4!13|MId=o260010040132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 20 סָבִ֑יב סָבִיב ADV _ Number=Sing 19 advmod _ Gloss=all.around|Ref=EZK_1:4!14|MId=o260010040141|Strong=5439 21-24 וּמִ֨תּוֹכָ֔הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and.[was]|Ref=EZK_1:4!15|MId=o260010040151|Strong=2050b 22 מִ֨ מִן ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=EZK_1:4!15|MId=o260010040152|Strong=4480 23 תּוֹכ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 obl _ Gloss=the.middle|Ref=EZK_1:4!15|MId=o260010040153|Strong=8432 24 ָ֔הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=of.it|Ref=EZK_1:4!15|MId=o260010040154|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 25-26 כְּעֵ֥ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=EZK_1:4!16|MId=o260010040161|Strong=3509a 26 עֵ֥ין עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Sing 7 conj _ Gloss=the.appearance|Ref=EZK_1:4!16|MId=o260010040162|Strong=5869 27-28 הַחַשְׁמַ֖ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=EZK_1:4!17|MId=o260010040171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 חַשְׁמַ֖ל חַשְׁמַל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 compound:smixut _ Gloss=shining.substance|Ref=EZK_1:4!17|MId=o260010040172|Strong=2830 29-30 מִתּ֥וֹךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=EZK_1:4!18|MId=o260010040181|Strong=4480 30 תּ֥וֹךְ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 nmod _ Gloss=the.middle|Ref=EZK_1:4!18|MId=o260010040182|Strong=8432 31-32 הָאֵֽשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 32 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZK_1:4!19|MId=o260010040191|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 32 אֵֽשׁ אֵשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 30 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.fire|Ref=EZK_1:4!19|MId=o260010040192|Strong=0784 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=EZK_1:4!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֵרֶא *I saw* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | בָּאָה *\[was\] coming* | participle active · qal | רוּחַ *a wind* | | | | | מִתְלַקַּחַת *flashing* | participle active · hithpael | אֵשׁ *fire* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
