Ezekiel 11:16 in Hebrew --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/EZK.11.16/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Nevi'im](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/) / [Ezekiel](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/EZK/) / [chapter 11](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/EZK/11/) / 11:16 # Ezekiel 11:16 יְחֶזְקֵאל **Who acts:** you, Lord GOD, I, inhabitants · **What happens:** say, remove, scatter, be, come · **To what, where:** inhabitants, countries · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Ezekiel 11:16 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Nevi'im — the Prophets). 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 — you, Lord GOD, I, inhabitants — and what happens in the verse to inhabitants, countries, 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. לָכֵ֣ן אֱמֹ֗ר כֹּֽה־אָמַר֮ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִה֒ כִּ֤י הִרְחַקְתִּים֙ בַּגּוֹיִ֔ם וְכִ֥י הֲפִֽיצוֹתִ֖ים בָּאֲרָצ֑וֹת וָאֱהִ֤י לָהֶם֙ לְמִקְדָּ֣שׁ מְעַ֔ט בָּאֲרָצ֖וֹת אֲשֶׁר־בָּ֥אוּ שָֽׁם׃ס [therefore say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Although I have removed them far off among the nations, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet have I been to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they are come;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.216/) ## 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:206 # text = לָכֵ֣ן אֱמֹ֗ר כֹּֽה־אָמַר֮ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִה֒ כִּ֤י הִרְחַקְתִּים֙ בַּגּוֹיִ֔ם וְכִ֥י הֲפִֽיצוֹתִ֖ים בָּאֲרָצ֑וֹת וָאֱהִ֤י לָהֶם֙ לְמִקְדָּ֣שׁ מְעַ֔ט בָּאֲרָצ֖וֹת אֲשֶׁר־בָּ֥אוּ שָֽׁם׃ס # verse = EZK.11.16 1-2 לָכֵ֣ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 לָ לָכֵן ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=therefore|Ref=EZK_11:16!1|MId=o260110160011|Strong=3807a 2 כֵ֣ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=|Ref=EZK_11:16!1|MId=o260110160012|Strong=3651 3 אֱמֹ֗ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 parataxis _ Gloss=say|Ref=EZK_11:16!2|MId=o260110160021|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:260110150011;|Type=imperative 4 כֹּֽה־ כֹּה ADV _ _ 5 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=EZK_11:16!3|MId=o260110160031|Strong=3541|SpaceAfter=No 5 אָמַר֮ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 ccomp _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=EZK_11:16!4|MId=o260110160041|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:260110160051;|Type=qatal 6-7 אֲדֹנָ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 אֲדֹנ אֲדֹנָי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 nsubj _ Gloss=Lord|Ref=EZK_11:16!5|MId=o260110160051|Strong=0136 7 ָ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[the]|Ref=EZK_11:16!5|MId=o260110160052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 8 יְהוִה֒ יְהֹוִה PROPN _ _ 6 appos _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EZK_11:16!6|MId=o260110160061|Strong=3069 9 כִּ֤י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=EZK_11:16!7|MId=o260110160071|Strong=3588 10-11 הִרְחַקְתִּים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הִרְחַקְתִּי רָחַק VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 5 advcl _ Gloss=I|Ref=EZK_11:16!8|MId=o260110160081|Strong=7368|Frame=AA:260110160051;A0:260110160082;|Type=qatal 11 ם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=have.removed.them.far.away|Ref=EZK_11:16!8|MId=o260110160082|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 12-14 בַּגּוֹיִ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=among|Ref=EZK_11:16!9|MId=o260110160091|Strong=0871a 13 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_11:16!9|MId=o260110160091ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 גּוֹיִ֔ם גּוֹי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 obl _ Gloss=nations|Ref=EZK_11:16!9|MId=o260110160092|Strong=1471 15-16 וְכִ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_11:16!10|MId=o260110160101|Strong=2050b 16 כִ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=EZK_11:16!10|MId=o260110160102|Strong=3588 17-18 הֲפִֽיצוֹתִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הֲפִֽיצוֹתִ֖י פּוּץ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 5 advcl _ Gloss=I|Ref=EZK_11:16!11|MId=o260110160111|Strong=6327|Frame=AA:260110160051;A0:260110160112;|Type=qatal 18 ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 obj _ Gloss=have.scattered.them|Ref=EZK_11:16!11|MId=o260110160112|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 19-21 בָּאֲרָצ֑וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=among|Ref=EZK_11:16!12|MId=o260110160121|Strong=0871a 20 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_11:16!12|MId=o260110160121ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 אֲרָצ֑וֹת אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Plur 17 obl _ Gloss=lands|Ref=EZK_11:16!12|MId=o260110160122|Strong=0776 22-23 וָאֱהִ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_11:16!13|MId=o260110160131|Strong=2050b 23 אֱהִ֤י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.have.become|Ref=EZK_11:16!13|MId=o260110160132|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:260110160051;|Type=wayyiqtol 24-25 לָהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 ל לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EZK_11:16!14|MId=o260110160141|Strong=3807a 25 ָהֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=EZK_11:16!14|MId=o260110160142|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 26-27 לְמִקְדָּ֣שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=(into).a|Ref=EZK_11:16!15|MId=o260110160151|Strong=3807a 27 מִקְדָּ֣שׁ מִקְדָּשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 obl _ Gloss=sanctuary|Ref=EZK_11:16!15|MId=o260110160152|Strong=4720 28 מְעַ֔ט מְעַט ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 amod _ Gloss=a.little|Ref=EZK_11:16!16|MId=o260110160161|Strong=4592 29-31 בָּאֲרָצ֖וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZK_11:16!17|MId=o260110160171|Strong=0871a 30 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 31 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_11:16!17|MId=o260110160171ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 31 אֲרָצ֖וֹת אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Plur 23 obl _ Gloss=lands|Ref=EZK_11:16!17|MId=o260110160172|Strong=0776 32 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 33 mark _ Gloss=where|Ref=EZK_11:16!18|MId=o260110160181|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 33 בָּ֥אוּ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 31 acl:relcl _ Gloss=they.have.gone|Ref=EZK_11:16!19|MId=o260110160191|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:260110150031;260110150081;|Type=qatal 34 שָֽׁם שָׁם ADV _ _ 33 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=EZK_11:16!20|MId=o260110160201|Strong=8033|SpaceAfter=No 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=EZK_11:16!20|SpaceAfter=No 36 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=EZK_11:16!20 ``` ##
