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 — Noah, I, Lord GOD — and what happens in the verse to three men, land, sons, Noah, 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. וּשְׁלֹ֨שֶׁת הָאֲנָשִׁ֣ים הָאֵלֶּה֮ בְּתוֹכָהּ֒ חַי־אָ֗נִי נְאֻם֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה לֹ֥א יַצִּ֖ילוּ בָּנִ֣ים וּבָנ֑וֹת כִּ֛י הֵ֥ם לְבַדָּ֖ם יִנָּצֵֽלוּ׃ [though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.297/) ## 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:284 # text = וּשְׁלֹ֨שֶׁת הָאֲנָשִׁ֣ים הָאֵלֶּה֮ בְּתוֹכָהּ֒ חַי־אָ֗נִי נְאֻם֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה לֹ֥א יַצִּ֖ילוּ בָּנִ֣ים וּבָנ֑וֹת כִּ֛י הֵ֥ם לְבַדָּ֖ם יִנָּצֵֽלוּ׃ # verse = EZK.14.18 1-2 וּשְׁלֹ֨שֶׁת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_14:18!1|MId=o260140180011|Strong=2050b 2 שְׁלֹ֨שֶׁת שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 nummod _ Gloss=the.three|Ref=EZK_14:18!1|MId=o260140180012|Strong=7969|Type=cardinal_number 3-4 הָאֲנָשִׁ֣ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_14:18!2|MId=o260140180021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 אֲנָשִׁ֣ים אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 nsubj _ Gloss=men|Ref=EZK_14:18!2|MId=o260140180022|Strong=0376 5-6 הָאֵלֶּה֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=EZK_14:18!3|MId=o260140180031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 אֵלֶּה֮ אֵלֶּה DET _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 4 det _ Gloss=these|Ref=EZK_14:18!3|MId=o260140180032|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 7-9 בְּתוֹכָהּ֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZK_14:18!4|MId=o260140180041|Strong=0871a 8 תוֹכ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=the.midst|Ref=EZK_14:18!4|MId=o260140180042|Strong=8432 9 ָהּ֒ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=of.it|Ref=EZK_14:18!4|MId=o260140180043|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 10 חַי־ חַי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 parataxis _ Gloss=[by].the.life|Ref=EZK_14:18!5|MId=o260140180051|Strong=2416|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 11 אָ֗נִי אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 nsubj _ Gloss=of.me|Ref=EZK_14:18!6|MId=o260140180061|Strong=0589|Type=personal 12 נְאֻם֙ נְאֻם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 parataxis _ Gloss=the.utterance|Ref=EZK_14:18!7|MId=o260140180071|Strong=5002 13-14 אֲדֹנָ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 אֲדֹנ אֲדֹנָי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Lord|Ref=EZK_14:18!8|MId=o260140180081|Strong=0136 14 ָ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=of.[the]|Ref=EZK_14:18!8|MId=o260140180082|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 15 יְהוִ֔ה יְהֹוִה PROPN _ _ 13 appos _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EZK_14:18!9|MId=o260140180091|Strong=3069 16 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 17 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EZK_14:18!10|MId=o260140180101|Strong=3808|Type=negative 17 יַצִּ֖ילוּ נָצַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 8 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.deliver|Ref=EZK_14:18!11|MId=o260140180111|Strong=5337|Frame=AA:260140180022;A0:260140180121;260140180132;|Type=yiqtol 18 בָּנִ֣ים בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 17 obj _ Gloss=sons|Ref=EZK_14:18!12|MId=o260140180121|Strong=1121 19-20 וּבָנ֑וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_14:18!13|MId=o260140180131|Strong=2050b 20 בָנ֑וֹת בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 18 conj _ Gloss=daughters|Ref=EZK_14:18!13|MId=o260140180132|Strong=1323 21 כִּ֛י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 26 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=EZK_14:18!14|MId=o260140180141|Strong=3588 22 הֵ֥ם הֵם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=EZK_14:18!15|MId=o260140180151|Strong=1992|Type=personal 23-25 לְבַדָּ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=they|Ref=EZK_14:18!16|MId=o260140180161|Strong=3807a 24 בַדּ בַּד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=EZK_14:18!16|MId=o260140180162|Strong=0905 25 ָ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=alone|Ref=EZK_14:18!16|MId=o260140180163|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 26 יִנָּצֵֽלוּ נָצַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 8 advcl _ Gloss=they.will.be.delivered|Ref=EZK_14:18!17|MId=o260140180171|Strong=5337|Frame=A1:260140180151;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=EZK_14:18!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** יַצִּילוּ *they will deliver* | yiqtol · hiphil | בָּנִים *sons* + בָנוֹת *daughters* | | | אֲנָשִׁים *men* | | יִנָּצֵֽלוּ *they will be delivered* | yiqtol · niphal | | הֵם *they* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
