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 — I, thee, field, thou, hair — and what happens in the verse to thee, excellent beauty, breasts, 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. רְבָבָ֗ה כְּצֶ֤מַח הַשָּׂדֶה֙ נְתַתִּ֔יךְ וַתִּרְבִּי֙ וַֽתִּגְדְּלִ֔י וַתָּבֹ֖אִי בַּעֲדִ֣י עֲדָיִ֑ים שָׁדַ֤יִם נָכֹ֙נוּ֙ וּשְׂעָרֵ֣ךְ צִמֵּ֔חַ וְאַ֖תְּ עֵרֹ֥ם וְעֶרְיָֽה׃ [I cause thee to increase, even as the growth of the field.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.317/) [And thou didst increase and grow up, and thou camest to excellent beauty: thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair was grown; yet thou wast naked and bare.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.318/) ## 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:304 # text = רְבָבָ֗ה כְּצֶ֤מַח הַשָּׂדֶה֙ נְתַתִּ֔יךְ וַתִּרְבִּי֙ וַֽתִּגְדְּלִ֔י וַתָּבֹ֖אִי בַּעֲדִ֣י עֲדָיִ֑ים שָׁדַ֤יִם נָכֹ֙נוּ֙ וּשְׂעָרֵ֣ךְ צִמֵּ֔חַ וְאַ֖תְּ עֵרֹ֥ם וְעֶרְיָֽה׃ # verse = EZK.16.7 1 רְבָבָ֗ה רְבָבָה NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 xcomp _ Gloss=ten.thousand|Ref=EZK_16:7!1|MId=o260160070011|Strong=7233 2-3 כְּצֶ֤מַח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=EZK_16:7!2|MId=o260160070021|Strong=3509a 3 צֶ֤מַח צֶמַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=the.growth|Ref=EZK_16:7!2|MId=o260160070022|Strong=6780 4-5 הַשָּׂדֶה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZK_16:7!3|MId=o260160070031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 שָּׂדֶה֙ שָׂדֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.field|Ref=EZK_16:7!3|MId=o260160070032|Strong=7704 6-7 נְתַתִּ֔יךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 נְתַתִּ֔י נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I|Ref=EZK_16:7!4|MId=o260160070041|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:260160030041;A1:260160070042;|Type=qatal 7 ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 obj _ Gloss=made.you|Ref=EZK_16:7!4|MId=o260160070042|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 8-9 וַתִּרְבִּי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_16:7!5|MId=o260160070051|Strong=2050b 9 תִּרְבִּי֙ רָבָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 6 conj _ Gloss=you.grew|Ref=EZK_16:7!5|MId=o260160070052|Strong=7235|Frame=A0:260160030062;|Type=wayyiqtol 10-11 וַֽתִּגְדְּלִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_16:7!6|MId=o260160070061|Strong=2050b 11 תִּגְדְּלִ֔י גָּדַל VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 6 conj _ Gloss=you.grew.up|Ref=EZK_16:7!6|MId=o260160070062|Strong=1431|Frame=A0:260160030062;|Type=wayyiqtol 12-13 וַתָּבֹ֖אִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_16:7!7|MId=o260160070071|Strong=2050b 13 תָּבֹ֖אִי בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 6 conj _ Gloss=you.came|Ref=EZK_16:7!7|MId=o260160070072|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:260160030062;|Type=wayyiqtol 14-15 בַּעֲדִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZK_16:7!8|MId=o260160070081|Strong=0871a 15 עֲדִ֣י עֲדִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 obl _ Gloss=an.ornament|Ref=EZK_16:7!8|MId=o260160070082|Strong=5716 16 עֲדָיִ֑ים עֲדִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.ornaments|Ref=EZK_16:7!9|MId=o260160070091|Strong=5716 17 שָׁדַ֤יִם שַׁד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 18 nsubj _ Gloss=breasts|Ref=EZK_16:7!10|MId=o260160070101|Strong=7699 18 נָכֹ֙נוּ֙ כּוּן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 6 parataxis _ Gloss=they.were.firm|Ref=EZK_16:7!11|MId=o260160070111|Strong=3559|Frame=A1:260160070101;|Type=qatal 19-21 וּשְׂעָרֵ֣ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_16:7!12|MId=o260160070121|Strong=2050b 20 שְׂעָר שֵׂעָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 nsubj _ Gloss=hair|Ref=EZK_16:7!12|MId=o260160070122|Strong=8181 21 ֵ֣ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EZK_16:7!12|MId=o260160070123|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 22 צִמֵּ֔חַ צָמַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 conj _ Gloss=it.had.grown|Ref=EZK_16:7!13|MId=o260160070131|Strong=6779|Frame=A0:260160070122;|Type=qatal 23-24 וְאַ֖תְּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_16:7!14|MId=o260160070141|Strong=2050b 24 אַ֖תְּ אַתְּ PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=EZK_16:7!14|MId=o260160070142|Strong=0859b|Type=personal 25 עֵרֹ֥ם עֵירֹם ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=[were].nakedness|Ref=EZK_16:7!15|MId=o260160070151|Strong=5903|Type=adjective 26-27 וְעֶרְיָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_16:7!16|MId=o260160070161|Strong=2050b 27 עֶרְיָֽה עֶרְיָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 25 conj _ Gloss=bareness|Ref=EZK_16:7!16|MId=o260160070162|Strong=6181 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=EZK_16:7!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: speech with no frame - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | נְתַתִּי *I* | qatal · qal | | ךְ *made you* | | | | תִּרְבִּי *you grew* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | תִּגְדְּלִי *you grew up* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | תָּבֹאִי *you came* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | נָכֹנוּ *they were firm* | qatal · niphal | | שָׁדַיִם *breasts* | | | | צִמֵּחַ *it had grown* | qatal · piel | שְׂעָר *hair* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
