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 — mighty, ambassadors — and what happens in the verse to ambassadors, Egypt, horses, mighty, such things, covenant, 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. וַיִּמְרָד־בּ֗וֹ לִשְׁלֹ֤חַ מַלְאָכָיו֙ מִצְרַ֔יִם לָֽתֶת־ל֥וֹ סוּסִ֖ים וְעַם־רָ֑ב הֲיִצְלָ֤ח הֲיִמָּלֵט֙ הָעֹשֵׂ֣ה אֵ֔לֶּה וְהֵפֵ֥ר בְּרִ֖ית וְנִמְלָֽט׃ [But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.392/) [Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? shall he break the covenant, and yet escape?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.393/) ## 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:375 # text = וַיִּמְרָד־בּ֗וֹ לִשְׁלֹ֤חַ מַלְאָכָיו֙ מִצְרַ֔יִם לָֽתֶת־ל֥וֹ סוּסִ֖ים וְעַם־רָ֑ב הֲיִצְלָ֤ח הֲיִמָּלֵט֙ הָעֹשֵׂ֣ה אֵ֔לֶּה וְהֵפֵ֥ר בְּרִ֖ית וְנִמְלָֽט׃ # verse = EZK.17.15 1-2 וַיִּמְרָד־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_17:15!1|MId=o260170150011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּמְרָד־ מָרַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.rebelled|Ref=EZK_17:15!1|MId=o260170150012|Strong=4775|Frame=A0:260170130022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 בּ֗וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=against|Ref=EZK_17:15!2|MId=o260170150021|Strong=0871a 4 ֗וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=EZK_17:15!2|MId=o260170150022|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 5-6 לִשְׁלֹ֤חַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=EZK_17:15!3|MId=o260170150031|Strong=3807a 6 שְׁלֹ֤חַ שָׁלַח VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 advcl _ Gloss=sending|Ref=EZK_17:15!3|MId=o260170150032|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:260170130022;A1:260170150041;|Type=infinitive_construct 7-8 מַלְאָכָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 מַלְאָכָי מַלְאָךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 obj _ Gloss=messengers|Ref=EZK_17:15!4|MId=o260170150041|Strong=4397 8 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EZK_17:15!4|MId=o260170150042|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 9 מִצְרַ֔יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 6 obl _ Gloss=Egypt|Ref=EZK_17:15!5|MId=o260170150051|Strong=4714 10-11 לָֽתֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לָֽ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_17:15!6|MId=o260170150061|Strong=3807a 11 תֶת־ נָתַן VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 6 advcl _ Gloss=give|Ref=EZK_17:15!6|MId=o260170150062|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:260170150051;A1:260170150081;260170150092;|Type=infinitive_construct 12-13 ל֥וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 ל לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_17:15!7|MId=o260170150071|Strong=3807a 13 ֥וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=EZK_17:15!7|MId=o260170150072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 14 סוּסִ֖ים סוּס NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 obj _ Gloss=horses|Ref=EZK_17:15!8|MId=o260170150081|Strong=5483 15-16 וְעַם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_17:15!9|MId=o260170150091|Strong=2050b 16 עַם־ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 conj _ Gloss=a.people|Ref=EZK_17:15!9|MId=o260170150092|Strong=5971 17 רָ֑ב רַב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 amod _ Gloss=numerous|Ref=EZK_17:15!10|MId=o260170150101|Strong=7227|Type=adjective 18-19 הֲיִצְלָ֤ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 19 advmod _ Gloss=will|Ref=EZK_17:15!11|MId=o260170150111|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 19 יִצְלָ֤ח צָלֵחַ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.prosper?|Ref=EZK_17:15!11|MId=o260170150112|Strong=6743|Frame=A0:260170130022;|Type=yiqtol 20-21 הֲיִמָּלֵט֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 21 advmod _ Gloss=will|Ref=EZK_17:15!12|MId=o260170150121|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 21 יִמָּלֵט֙ מָלַט VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.escape?|Ref=EZK_17:15!12|MId=o260170150122|Strong=4422|Frame=A0:260170150132;|Type=yiqtol 22-23 הָעֹשֵׂ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הָ הַ SCONJ _ _ 23 mark _ Gloss=the.[one|Ref=EZK_17:15!13|MId=o260170150131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 עֹשֵׂ֣ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=who].does|Ref=EZK_17:15!13|MId=o260170150132|Strong=6213|Frame=A1:260170150141;|Type=participle_active 24 אֵ֔לֶּה אֵלֶּה DET _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 23 det _ Gloss=these.[things]|Ref=EZK_17:15!14|MId=o260170150141|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 25-26 וְהֵפֵ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_17:15!15|MId=o260170150151|Strong=2050b 26 הֵפֵ֥ר פָּרַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=will.he.break?|Ref=EZK_17:15!15|MId=o260170150152|Strong=6565|Frame=AA:260170130022;A0:260170150161;|Type=qatal 27 בְּרִ֖ית בְּרִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 26 obj _ Gloss=a.covenant|Ref=EZK_17:15!16|MId=o260170150161|Strong=1285 28-29 וְנִמְלָֽט _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_17:15!17|MId=o260170150171|Strong=2050b 29 נִמְלָֽט מָלַט VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 26 conj _ Gloss=will.he.escape?|Ref=EZK_17:15!17|MId=o260170150172|Strong=4422|Frame=A0:260170130022;|Type=weqatal 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=EZK_17:15!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
