Ezekiel 16:16 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Jonathan, JP --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/EZK.16.16/) [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 16](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/EZK/16/) / 16:16 # Ezekiel 16:16 יְחֶזְקֵאל **Who acts:** thou, like things, harlot · **What happens:** take, make, deck, play, not come, be · **To what, where:** high places, harlot This is Ezekiel 16:16 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 — thou, like things, harlot — and what happens in the verse to high places, harlot, 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. וַתִּקְחִ֣י מִבְּגָדַ֗יִךְ וַתַּֽעֲשִׂי־לָךְ֙ בָּמ֣וֹת טְלֻא֔וֹת וַתִּזְנִ֖י עֲלֵיהֶ֑ם לֹ֥א בָא֖וֹת וְלֹ֥א יִהְיֶֽה׃ [And thou didst take of thy garments, and didst make for thee high places decked with divers colours, and didst play the harlot upon them; the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.327/) ## 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:313 # text = וַתִּקְחִ֣י מִבְּגָדַ֗יִךְ וַתַּֽעֲשִׂי־לָךְ֙ בָּמ֣וֹת טְלֻא֔וֹת וַתִּזְנִ֖י עֲלֵיהֶ֑ם לֹ֥א בָא֖וֹת וְלֹ֥א יִהְיֶֽה׃ # verse = EZK.16.16 1-2 וַתִּקְחִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_16:16!1|MId=o260160160011|Strong=2050b 2 תִּקְחִ֣י לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.took|Ref=EZK_16:16!1|MId=o260160160012|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:260160030062;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-5 מִבְּגָדַ֗יִךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=some|Ref=EZK_16:16!2|MId=o260160160021|Strong=4480 4 בְּגָדַ֗י בֶּגֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZK_16:16!2|MId=o260160160022|Strong=0899 5 ִךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your.clothes|Ref=EZK_16:16!2|MId=o260160160023|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 6-7 וַתַּֽעֲשִׂי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_16:16!3|MId=o260160160031|Strong=2050b 7 תַּֽעֲשִׂי־ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=you.made|Ref=EZK_16:16!3|MId=o260160160032|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:260160030062;A1:260160160051;|Type=wayyiqtol 8-9 לָךְ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 ל לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EZK_16:16!4|MId=o260160160041|Strong=3807a 9 ָךְ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 obl _ Gloss=yourself|Ref=EZK_16:16!4|MId=o260160160042|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 10 בָּמ֣וֹת בָּמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 7 obj _ Gloss=high.places|Ref=EZK_16:16!5|MId=o260160160051|Strong=1116 11 טְלֻא֔וֹת טָלָא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 10 nmod _ Gloss=multicolored|Ref=EZK_16:16!6|MId=o260160160061|Strong=2921|Frame=A0:260160160051;|Type=participle_passive 12-13 וַתִּזְנִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_16:16!7|MId=o260160160071|Strong=2050b 13 תִּזְנִ֖י זָנָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=you.acted.as.a.prostitute|Ref=EZK_16:16!7|MId=o260160160072|Strong=2181|Frame=A0:260160030062;|Type=wayyiqtol 14-15 עֲלֵיהֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 עֲלֵי עַל ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EZK_16:16!8|MId=o260160160081|Strong=5921 15 הֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=EZK_16:16!8|MId=o260160160082|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 16 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 17 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EZK_16:16!9|MId=o260160160091|Strong=3808|Type=negative 17 בָא֖וֹת בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 2 parataxis _ Gloss=coming|Ref=EZK_16:16!10|MId=o260160160101|Strong=0935|Type=participle_active 18-19 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_16:16!11|MId=o260160160111|Strong=2050b 19 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EZK_16:16!11|MId=o260160160112|Strong=3808|Type=negative 20 יִהְיֶֽה הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=EZK_16:16!12|MId=o260160160121|Strong=1961|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=EZK_16:16!12 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תִּקְחִי *you took* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | תַּֽעֲשִׂי־ *you made* | wayyiqtol · qal | | בָּמוֹת *high places* | | | | טְלֻאוֹת *multicolored* | participle passive · qal | בָּמוֹת *high places* | | | | | תִּזְנִי *you acted as a prostitute* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
