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 — fire, wood — and what happens in the verse to wood, fire, ends, 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. הִנֵּ֥ה לָאֵ֖שׁ נִתַּ֣ן לְאָכְלָ֑ה אֵת֩ שְׁנֵ֨י קְצוֹתָ֜יו אָכְלָ֤ה הָאֵשׁ֙ וְתוֹכ֣וֹ נָחָ֔ר הֲיִצְלַ֖ח לִמְלָאכָֽה׃ [Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire hath devoured both the ends of it, and the midst of it is singed; is it profitable for any work?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.306/) ## 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:293 # text = הִנֵּ֥ה לָאֵ֖שׁ נִתַּ֣ן לְאָכְלָ֑ה אֵת֩ שְׁנֵ֨י קְצוֹתָ֜יו אָכְלָ֤ה הָאֵשׁ֙ וְתוֹכ֣וֹ נָחָ֔ר הֲיִצְלַ֖ח לִמְלָאכָֽה׃ # verse = EZK.15.4 1 הִנֵּ֥ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 5 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=EZK_15:4!1|MId=o260150040011|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 2-4 לָאֵ֖שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_15:4!2|MId=o260150040021|Strong=3807a 3 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_15:4!2|MId=o260150040021ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 אֵ֖שׁ אֵשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=fire|Ref=EZK_15:4!2|MId=o260150040022|Strong=0784 5 נִתַּ֣ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.is.given|Ref=EZK_15:4!3|MId=o260150040031|Strong=5414|Frame=A1:260150020051;|Type=qatal 6-7 לְאָכְלָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EZK_15:4!4|MId=o260150040041|Strong=3807a 7 אָכְלָ֑ה אׇכְלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=fuel|Ref=EZK_15:4!4|MId=o260150040042|Strong=0402 8 אֵת֩ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EZK_15:4!5|MId=o260150040051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 9 שְׁנֵ֨י שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 10 nummod _ Gloss=the.two|Ref=EZK_15:4!6|MId=o260150040061|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 10-11 קְצוֹתָ֜יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 קְצוֹתָ֜י קָצָה NOUN _ Number=Plur 12 obj _ Gloss=ends|Ref=EZK_15:4!7|MId=o260150040071|Strong=7098 11 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=EZK_15:4!7|MId=o260150040072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12 אָכְלָ֤ה אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 parataxis _ Gloss=it.consumes|Ref=EZK_15:4!8|MId=o260150040081|Strong=0398|Frame=A1:260150040071;A0:260150040092;|Type=qatal 13-14 הָאֵשׁ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_15:4!9|MId=o260150040091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 אֵשׁ֙ אֵשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 12 nsubj _ Gloss=fire|Ref=EZK_15:4!9|MId=o260150040092|Strong=0784 15-17 וְתוֹכ֣וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_15:4!10|MId=o260150040101|Strong=2050b 16 תוֹכ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 nsubj _ Gloss=the.middle|Ref=EZK_15:4!10|MId=o260150040102|Strong=8432 17 ֣וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=of.it|Ref=EZK_15:4!10|MId=o260150040103|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 18 נָחָ֔ר חָרַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=it.is.charred|Ref=EZK_15:4!11|MId=o260150040111|Strong=2787|Frame=A1:260150040102;|Type=qatal 19-20 הֲיִצְלַ֖ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=is|Ref=EZK_15:4!12|MId=o260150040121|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 20 יִצְלַ֖ח צָלֵחַ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 parataxis _ Gloss=it.successful?|Ref=EZK_15:4!12|MId=o260150040122|Strong=6743|Frame=A0:260150020051;|Type=yiqtol 21-22 לִמְלָאכָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EZK_15:4!13|MId=o260150040131|Strong=3807a 22 מְלָאכָֽה מְלָאכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=a.product|Ref=EZK_15:4!13|MId=o260150040132|Strong=4399 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=EZK_15:4!13 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | נִתַּן *it is given* | qatal · niphal | | | | | | אָכְלָה *it consumes* | qatal · qal | אֵשׁ *fire* | קְצוֹתָי *ends* | | | | נָחָר *it is charred* | qatal · niphal | | תוֹכ *the middle* | | | | יִצְלַח *it successful?* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
