Ezekiel 14:20 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Jonathan, JPS 1917 and the pragma --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/EZK.14.20/) [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 14](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/EZK/14/) / 14:20 # Ezekiel 14:20 יְחֶזְקֵאל **Who acts:** Noah, I, Lord GOD · **What happens:** be, live, say, deliver · **To what, where:** land, son, own souls · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Ezekiel 14:20 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 — Noah, I, Lord GOD — and what happens in the verse to land, son, own souls, 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. וְנֹ֨חַ דָּנִיֵּ֣אלוְאִיּוֹב֮ בְּתוֹכָהּ֒ חַי־אָ֗נִי נְאֻם֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה אִם־בֵּ֥ן אִם־בַּ֖ת יַצִּ֑ילוּ הֵ֥מָּה בְצִדְקָתָ֖ם יַצִּ֥ילוּ נַפְשָֽׁם׃פ [though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.299/) ## 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:286 # text = וְנֹ֨חַ דָּנִיֵּ֣אלוְאִיּוֹב֮ בְּתוֹכָהּ֒ חַי־אָ֗נִי נְאֻם֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה אִם־בֵּ֥ן אִם־בַּ֖ת יַצִּ֑ילוּ הֵ֥מָּה בְצִדְקָתָ֖ם יַצִּ֥ילוּ נַפְשָֽׁם׃פ # verse = EZK.14.20 1-2 וְנֹ֨חַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_14:20!1|MId=o260140200011|Strong=2050b 2 נֹ֨חַ נֹחַ PROPN _ _ 7 nsubj _ Gloss=Noah|Ref=EZK_14:20!1|MId=o260140200012|Strong=5146 3-5 דָּנִיֵּ֣אלוְאִיּוֹב֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 דָּנִיֵּ֣אל דָּנִיֵּאל PROPN _ _ 2 conj _ Gloss=Daniel|Ref=EZK_14:20!3|MId=o260140200031|Strong=1840 4 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_14:20!4|MId=o260140200041|Strong=2050b 5 אִיּוֹב֮ אִיּוֹב PROPN _ _ 2 conj _ Gloss=Job|Ref=EZK_14:20!4|MId=o260140200042|Strong=0347 6-8 בְּתוֹכָהּ֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZK_14:20!5|MId=o260140200051|Strong=0871a 7 תוֹכ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=the.midst|Ref=EZK_14:20!5|MId=o260140200052|Strong=8432 8 ָהּ֒ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=of.it|Ref=EZK_14:20!5|MId=o260140200053|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 9 חַי־ חַי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 parataxis _ Gloss=[by].the.life|Ref=EZK_14:20!6|MId=o260140200061|Strong=2416|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 10 אָ֗נִי אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 9 nsubj _ Gloss=of.me|Ref=EZK_14:20!7|MId=o260140200071|Strong=0589|Type=personal 11 נְאֻם֙ נְאֻם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 parataxis _ Gloss=the.utterance|Ref=EZK_14:20!8|MId=o260140200081|Strong=5002 12-13 אֲדֹנָ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 אֲדֹנ אֲדֹנָי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Lord|Ref=EZK_14:20!9|MId=o260140200091|Strong=0136 13 ָ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=of.[the]|Ref=EZK_14:20!9|MId=o260140200092|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 14 יְהוִ֔ה יְהֹוִה PROPN _ _ 12 appos _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EZK_14:20!10|MId=o260140200101|Strong=3069 15 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=EZK_14:20!11|MId=o260140200111|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 16 בֵּ֥ן בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 parataxis _ Gloss=a.son|Ref=EZK_14:20!12|MId=o260140200121|Strong=1121 17 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 19 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=EZK_14:20!13|MId=o260140200131|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 18 בַּ֖ת בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 obj _ Gloss=a.daughter|Ref=EZK_14:20!14|MId=o260140200141|Strong=1323 19 יַצִּ֑ילוּ נָצַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 16 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.deliver|Ref=EZK_14:20!15|MId=o260140200151|Strong=5337|Frame=AA:260140200012;260140200031;260140200042;A0:260140200141;260140200121;|Type=yiqtol 20 הֵ֥מָּה הֵמָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=EZK_14:20!16|MId=o260140200161|Strong=1992|Type=personal 21-23 בְצִדְקָתָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=EZK_14:20!17|MId=o260140200171|Strong=0871a 22 צִדְקָת צְדָקָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 24 obl _ Gloss=righteousness|Ref=EZK_14:20!17|MId=o260140200172|Strong=6666 23 ָ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=EZK_14:20!17|MId=o260140200173|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 24 יַצִּ֥ילוּ נָצַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 7 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.deliver|Ref=EZK_14:20!18|MId=o260140200181|Strong=5337|Frame=AA:260140200161;A0:260140200191;|Type=yiqtol 25-26 נַפְשָֽׁם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 נַפְשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 24 obj _ Gloss=life|Ref=EZK_14:20!19|MId=o260140200191|Strong=5315 26 ָֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their.own|Ref=EZK_14:20!19|MId=o260140200192|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=EZK_14:20!19|SpaceAfter=No 28 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=EZK_14:20!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַצִּילוּ *they will deliver* | yiqtol · hiphil | בַּת *a daughter* + בֵּן *a son* | | | נֹחַ *Noah* + דָּנִיֵּאל *Daniel* + אִיּוֹב *Job* | | יַצִּילוּ *they will deliver* | yiqtol · hiphil | נַפְשׁ *life* | | | הֵמָּה *they* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
