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 — proverb, ye, vision — and what happens in the verse to proverb, land, days, 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. בֶּן־אָדָ֗ם מָֽה־הַמָּשָׁ֤ל הַזֶּה֙ לָכֶ֔ם עַל־אַדְמַ֥ת יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לֵאמֹ֑ר יַֽאַרְכוּ֙ הַיָּמִ֔ים וְאָבַ֖ד כָּל־חָזֽוֹן׃ ['Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying: The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.249/) ## 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:237 # text = בֶּן־אָדָ֗ם מָֽה־הַמָּשָׁ֤ל הַזֶּה֙ לָכֶ֔ם עַל־אַדְמַ֥ת יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לֵאמֹ֑ר יַֽאַרְכוּ֙ הַיָּמִ֔ים וְאָבַ֖ד כָּל־חָזֽוֹן׃ # verse = EZK.12.22 1 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 dislocated _ Gloss=O.son|Ref=EZK_12:22!1|MId=o260120220011|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 2 אָדָ֗ם אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.humankind|Ref=EZK_12:22!2|MId=o260120220021|Strong=0120 3 מָֽה־ מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 0 root _ Gloss=what?|Ref=EZK_12:22!3|MId=o260120220031|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 הַמָּשָׁ֤ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=[is].the|Ref=EZK_12:22!4|MId=o260120220041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 מָּשָׁ֤ל מָשָׁל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 nsubj _ Gloss=proverb|Ref=EZK_12:22!4|MId=o260120220042|Strong=4912 6-7 הַזֶּה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=EZK_12:22!5|MId=o260120220051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 זֶּה֙ זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 5 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=EZK_12:22!5|MId=o260120220052|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 8-9 לָכֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 ל לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_12:22!6|MId=o260120220061|Strong=3807a 9 ָכֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=EZK_12:22!6|MId=o260120220062|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 10 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EZK_12:22!7|MId=o260120220071|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 11 אַדְמַ֥ת אֲדָמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=EZK_12:22!8|MId=o260120220081|Strong=0127 12 יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=EZK_12:22!9|MId=o260120220091|Strong=3478 13-14 לֵאמֹ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 15 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=EZK_12:22!10|MId=o260120220101|Strong=3807a 14 אמֹ֑ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 13 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=EZK_12:22!10|MId=o260120220102|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:260120220042;A1:260120220111;260120220132;|Type=infinitive_construct 15 יַֽאַרְכוּ֙ אָרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 advcl _ Gloss=they.are.long|Ref=EZK_12:22!11|MId=o260120220111|Strong=0748|Frame=A0:260120220122;|Type=yiqtol 16-17 הַיָּמִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_12:22!12|MId=o260120220121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 יָּמִ֔ים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 nsubj _ Gloss=days|Ref=EZK_12:22!12|MId=o260120220122|Strong=3117 18-19 וְאָבַ֖ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_12:22!13|MId=o260120220131|Strong=2050b 19 אָבַ֖ד אָבַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 15 conj _ Gloss=it.perishes|Ref=EZK_12:22!13|MId=o260120220132|Strong=0006|Frame=A0:260120220151;|Type=weqatal 20 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=every|Ref=EZK_12:22!14|MId=o260120220141|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 21 חָזֽוֹן חָזוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=vision|Ref=EZK_12:22!15|MId=o260120220151|Strong=2377|SpaceAfter=No 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=EZK_12:22!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אמֹר | infinitive construct · qal | מָּשָׁל *proverb* | יַֽאַרְכוּ *they are long* + אָבַד *it perishes* | | | | יַֽאַרְכוּ *they are long* | yiqtol · qal | יָּמִים *days* | | | | | אָבַד *it perishes* | weqatal · qal | חָזֽוֹן *vision* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
