Ezekiel 15:5 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Jonathan, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/EZK.15.5/) [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 15](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/EZK/15/) / 15:5 # Ezekiel 15:5 יְחֶזְקֵאל **Who acts:** wood, fire · **What happens:** be, devour, singe · **To what, where:** wood This is Ezekiel 15:5 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 — wood, fire — and what happens in the verse to wood, 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. הִנֵּה֙ בִּֽהְיוֹת֣וֹ תָמִ֔ים לֹ֥א יֵֽעָשֶׂ֖ה לִמְלָאכָ֑ה אַ֣ף כִּי־אֵ֤שׁ אֲכָלַ֙תְהוּ֙ וַיֵּחָ֔ר וְנַעֲשָׂ֥ה ע֖וֹד לִמְלָאכָֽה׃ס [Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work; how much less, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is singed, shall it yet be meet for any work?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.307/) ## 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:294 # text = הִנֵּה֙ בִּֽהְיוֹת֣וֹ תָמִ֔ים לֹ֥א יֵֽעָשֶׂ֖ה לִמְלָאכָ֑ה אַ֣ף כִּי־אֵ֤שׁ אֲכָלַ֙תְהוּ֙ וַיֵּחָ֔ר וְנַעֲשָׂ֥ה ע֖וֹד לִמְלָאכָֽה׃ס # verse = EZK.15.5 1 הִנֵּה֙ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 7 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=EZK_15:5!1|MId=o260150050011|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 2-4 בִּֽהְיוֹת֣וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 בִּֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=EZK_15:5!2|MId=o260150050021|Strong=0871a 3 הְיוֹת הָיָה AUX _ HebBinyan=QAL 5 cop _ Gloss=was|Ref=EZK_15:5!2|MId=o260150050022|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:260150050023;|Type=infinitive_construct 4 ֣וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=EZK_15:5!2|MId=o260150050023|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 5 תָמִ֔ים תָּמִים ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=complete|Ref=EZK_15:5!3|MId=o260150050031|Strong=8549|Type=adjective 6 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EZK_15:5!4|MId=o260150050041|Strong=3808|Type=negative 7 יֵֽעָשֶׂ֖ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was.made|Ref=EZK_15:5!5|MId=o260150050051|Strong=6213|Frame=A1:260150020051;|Type=yiqtol 8-9 לִמְלָאכָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=into|Ref=EZK_15:5!6|MId=o260150050061|Strong=3807a 9 מְלָאכָ֑ה מְלָאכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=a.product|Ref=EZK_15:5!6|MId=o260150050062|Strong=4399 10 אַ֣ף אַף ADV _ _ 13 advmod _ Gloss=indeed?|Ref=EZK_15:5!7|MId=o260150050071|Strong=0637|Type=affirmation 11 כִּי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=EZK_15:5!8|MId=o260150050081|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 12 אֵ֤שׁ אֵשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 nsubj _ Gloss=a.fire|Ref=EZK_15:5!9|MId=o260150050091|Strong=0784 13-14 אֲכָלַ֙תְהוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 אֲכָלַ֙ת אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 18 advcl _ Gloss=it|Ref=EZK_15:5!10|MId=o260150050101|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:260150050091;A1:260150050102;|Type=qatal 14 ְהוּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 obj _ Gloss=has.consumed.it|Ref=EZK_15:5!10|MId=o260150050102|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 15-16 וַיֵּחָ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_15:5!11|MId=o260150050111|Strong=2050b 16 יֵּחָ֔ר חָרַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 13 conj _ Gloss=it.has.been.charred|Ref=EZK_15:5!11|MId=o260150050112|Strong=2787|Frame=A1:260150020051;|Type=wayyiqtol 17-18 וְנַעֲשָׂ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_15:5!12|MId=o260150050121|Strong=2050b 18 נַעֲשָׂ֥ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 parataxis _ Gloss=will.it.be.made?|Ref=EZK_15:5!12|MId=o260150050122|Strong=6213|Frame=A1:260150020051;|Type=weqatal 19 ע֖וֹד עוֹד ADV _ _ 18 advmod _ Gloss=again|Ref=EZK_15:5!13|MId=o260150050131|Strong=5750 20-21 לִמְלָאכָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=into|Ref=EZK_15:5!14|MId=o260150050141|Strong=3807a 21 מְלָאכָֽה מְלָאכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=a.product|Ref=EZK_15:5!14|MId=o260150050142|Strong=4399 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=EZK_15:5!14|SpaceAfter=No 23 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=EZK_15:5!14 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הְיוֹת *was* | infinitive construct · qal | וֹ *it* | | | | | **not** יֵֽעָשֶׂה *it was made* | yiqtol · niphal | | | | | | אֲכָלַת *it* | qatal · qal | אֵשׁ *a fire* | ְהוּ *has consumed it* | | | | יֵּחָר *it has been charred* | wayyiqtol · niphal | | | | | | נַעֲשָׂה *will it be made?* | weqatal · niphal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
