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 — sisters, Samaria, thou — and what happens in the verse, 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. וַאֲחוֹתַ֗יִךְ סְדֹ֤ם וּבְנוֹתֶ֙יהָ֙ תָּשֹׁ֣בְןָ לְקַדְמָתָ֔ן וְשֹֽׁמְרוֹן֙ וּבְנוֹתֶ֔יהָ תָּשֹׁ֖בְןָ לְקַדְמָתָ֑ן וְאַתְּ֙ וּבְנוֹתַ֔יִךְ תְּשֻׁבֶ֖ינָה לְקַדְמַתְכֶֽן׃ [And thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, and thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.367/) ## 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:352 # text = וַאֲחוֹתַ֗יִךְ סְדֹ֤ם וּבְנוֹתֶ֙יהָ֙ תָּשֹׁ֣בְןָ לְקַדְמָתָ֔ן וְשֹֽׁמְרוֹן֙ וּבְנוֹתֶ֔יהָ תָּשֹׁ֖בְןָ לְקַדְמָתָ֑ן וְאַתְּ֙ וּבְנוֹתַ֔יִךְ תְּשֻׁבֶ֖ינָה לְקַדְמַתְכֶֽן׃ # verse = EZK.16.55 1-3 וַאֲחוֹתַ֗יִךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_16:55!1|MId=o260160550011|Strong=2050b 2 אֲחוֹתַ֗י אָחוֹת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=sisters|Ref=EZK_16:55!1|MId=o260160550012|Strong=0269 3 ִךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EZK_16:55!1|MId=o260160550013|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 4 סְדֹ֤ם סְדֹם PROPN _ _ 8 nsubj _ Gloss=Sodom|Ref=EZK_16:55!2|MId=o260160550021|Strong=5467 5-7 וּבְנוֹתֶ֙יהָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_16:55!3|MId=o260160550031|Strong=2050b 6 בְנוֹתֶ֙י בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 4 conj _ Gloss=daughters|Ref=EZK_16:55!3|MId=o260160550032|Strong=1323 7 הָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=EZK_16:55!3|MId=o260160550033|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 8 תָּשֹׁ֣בְןָ שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.return|Ref=EZK_16:55!4|MId=o260160550041|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:260160550021;260160550032;|Type=yiqtol 9-11 לְקַדְמָתָ֔ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_16:55!5|MId=o260160550051|Strong=3807a 10 קַדְמָת קַדְמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=their.former|Ref=EZK_16:55!5|MId=o260160550052|Strong=6927 11 ָ֔ן הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=state|Ref=EZK_16:55!5|MId=o260160550053|Strong=4993c|Type=pronominal 12-13 וְשֹֽׁמְרוֹן֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_16:55!6|MId=o260160550061|Strong=2050b 13 שֹֽׁמְרוֹן֙ שֹׁמְרוֹן PROPN _ _ 17 nsubj _ Gloss=Samaria|Ref=EZK_16:55!6|MId=o260160550062|Strong=8111 14-16 וּבְנוֹתֶ֔יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_16:55!7|MId=o260160550071|Strong=2050b 15 בְנוֹתֶ֔י בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 13 conj _ Gloss=daughters|Ref=EZK_16:55!7|MId=o260160550072|Strong=1323 16 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=EZK_16:55!7|MId=o260160550073|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 17 תָּשֹׁ֖בְןָ שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 8 conj _ Gloss=they.will.return|Ref=EZK_16:55!8|MId=o260160550081|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:260160550062;260160550072;|Type=yiqtol 18-20 לְקַדְמָתָ֑ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_16:55!9|MId=o260160550091|Strong=3807a 19 קַדְמָת קַדְמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=their.former|Ref=EZK_16:55!9|MId=o260160550092|Strong=6927 20 ָ֑ן הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=state|Ref=EZK_16:55!9|MId=o260160550093|Strong=4993c|Type=pronominal 21-22 וְאַתְּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_16:55!10|MId=o260160550101|Strong=2050b 22 אַתְּ֙ אַתְּ PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 26 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=EZK_16:55!10|MId=o260160550102|Strong=0859b|Type=personal 23-25 וּבְנוֹתַ֔יִךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_16:55!11|MId=o260160550111|Strong=2050b 24 בְנוֹתַ֔י בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 22 conj _ Gloss=daughters|Ref=EZK_16:55!11|MId=o260160550112|Strong=1323 25 ִךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EZK_16:55!11|MId=o260160550113|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 26 תְּשֻׁבֶ֖ינָה שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=you.will.return|Ref=EZK_16:55!12|MId=o260160550121|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:260160550102;260160550112;|Type=yiqtol 27-29 לְקַדְמַתְכֶֽן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_16:55!13|MId=o260160550131|Strong=3807a 28 קַדְמַת קַדְמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 26 obl _ Gloss=your.former|Ref=EZK_16:55!13|MId=o260160550132|Strong=6927 29 ְכֶֽן הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 28 nmod:poss _ Gloss=state|Ref=EZK_16:55!13|MId=o260160550133|Strong=3654a|Type=pronominal 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=EZK_16:55!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תָּשֹׁבְןָ *they will return* | yiqtol · qal | סְדֹם *Sodom* + בְנוֹתֶי *daughters* | | | | | תָּשֹׁבְןָ *they will return* | yiqtol · qal | שֹֽׁמְרוֹן *Samaria* + בְנוֹתֶי *daughters* | | | | | תְּשֻׁבֶינָה *you will return* | yiqtol · qal | אַתְּ *you* + בְנוֹתַי *daughters* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
