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, I — and what happens in the verse to fair jewels, thee, images, harlot, men, 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. וַתִּקְחִ֞י כְּלֵ֣י תִפְאַרְתֵּ֗ךְ מִזְּהָבִ֤י וּמִכַּסְפִּי֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר נָתַ֣תִּי לָ֔ךְ וַתַּעֲשִׂי־לָ֖ךְ צַלְמֵ֣י זָכָ֑ר וַתִּזְנִי־בָֽם׃ [Thou didst also take thy fair jewels of My gold and of My silver, which I had given thee, and madest for thee images of men, and didst play the harlot with them;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.328/) ## 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:314 # text = וַתִּקְחִ֞י כְּלֵ֣י תִפְאַרְתֵּ֗ךְ מִזְּהָבִ֤י וּמִכַּסְפִּי֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר נָתַ֣תִּי לָ֔ךְ וַתַּעֲשִׂי־לָ֖ךְ צַלְמֵ֣י זָכָ֑ר וַתִּזְנִי־בָֽם׃ # verse = EZK.16.17 1-2 וַתִּקְחִ֞י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_16:17!1|MId=o260160170011|Strong=2050b 2 תִּקְחִ֞י לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.took|Ref=EZK_16:17!1|MId=o260160170012|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:260160030062;A1:260160170021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 כְּלֵ֣י כְּלִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obj _ Gloss=the.articles|Ref=EZK_16:17!2|MId=o260160170021|Strong=3627 4-5 תִפְאַרְתֵּ֗ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 תִפְאַרְתּ תִּפְאֶרֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.beauty|Ref=EZK_16:17!3|MId=o260160170031|Strong=8597 5 ֵ֗ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EZK_16:17!3|MId=o260160170032|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 6-8 מִזְּהָבִ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=some|Ref=EZK_16:17!4|MId=o260160170041|Strong=4480 7 זְּהָב זָהָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZK_16:17!4|MId=o260160170042|Strong=2091 8 ִ֤י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my.gold|Ref=EZK_16:17!4|MId=o260160170043|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 9-12 וּמִכַּסְפִּי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_16:17!5|MId=o260160170051|Strong=2050b 10 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=some|Ref=EZK_16:17!5|MId=o260160170052|Strong=4480 11 כַּסְפּ כֶּסֶף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 conj _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZK_16:17!5|MId=o260160170053|Strong=3701 12 ִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my.silver|Ref=EZK_16:17!5|MId=o260160170054|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 13 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=EZK_16:17!6|MId=o260160170061|Strong=0834|Type=relative 14 נָתַ֣תִּי נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 7 acl:relcl _ Gloss=I.had.given|Ref=EZK_16:17!7|MId=o260160170071|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:260160140141;A1:260160170042;260160170053;|Type=qatal 15-16 לָ֔ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 ל לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_16:17!8|MId=o260160170081|Strong=3807a 16 ָ֔ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=EZK_16:17!8|MId=o260160170082|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 17-18 וַתַּעֲשִׂי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_16:17!9|MId=o260160170091|Strong=2050b 18 תַּעֲשִׂי־ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=you.made|Ref=EZK_16:17!9|MId=o260160170092|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:260160030062;A1:260160170111;|Type=wayyiqtol 19-20 לָ֖ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 ל לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EZK_16:17!10|MId=o260160170101|Strong=3807a 20 ָ֖ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 18 obl _ Gloss=yourself|Ref=EZK_16:17!10|MId=o260160170102|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 21 צַלְמֵ֣י צֶלֶם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 obj _ Gloss=images|Ref=EZK_16:17!11|MId=o260160170111|Strong=6754 22 זָכָ֑ר זָכָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.male|Ref=EZK_16:17!12|MId=o260160170121|Strong=2145|Type=adjective 23-24 וַתִּזְנִי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_16:17!13|MId=o260160170131|Strong=2050b 24 תִּזְנִי־ זָנָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=you.acted.as.a.prostitute|Ref=EZK_16:17!13|MId=o260160170132|Strong=2181|Frame=A0:260160030062;|Type=wayyiqtol 25-26 בָֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 ב בְּ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=EZK_16:17!14|MId=o260160170141|Strong=0871a 26 ָֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=EZK_16:17!14|MId=o260160170142|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=EZK_16:17!14 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תִּקְחִי *you took* | wayyiqtol · qal | | כְּלֵי *the articles* | | | | נָתַתִּי *I had given* | qatal · qal | | זְּהָב *of* + כַּסְפּ *of* | | | | תַּעֲשִׂי־ *you made* | wayyiqtol · qal | | צַלְמֵי *images* | | | | תִּזְנִי־ *you acted as a prostitute* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
