Ezekiel 17:16 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Jonathan, JPS --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/EZK.17.16/) [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 17](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/EZK/17/) / 17:16 # Ezekiel 17:16 יְחֶזְקֵאל **Who acts:** I, Lord GOD, king · **What happens:** live, say, dwell, make, despise, break · **To what, where:** king, oath, covenant · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Ezekiel 17:16 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 — I, Lord GOD, king — and what happens in the verse to king, oath, 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. חַי־אָ֗נִי נְאֻם֮ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִה֒ אִם־לֹ֗א בִּמְקוֹם֙ הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ הַמַּמְלִ֣יךְ אֹת֔וֹ אֲשֶׁ֤ר בָּזָה֙ אֶת־אָ֣לָת֔וֹ וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר הֵפֵ֖ר אֶת־בְּרִית֑וֹ אִתּ֥וֹ בְתוֹךְ־בָּבֶ֖ל יָמֽוּת׃ [As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.394/) ## 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:376 # text = חַי־אָ֗נִי נְאֻם֮ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִה֒ אִם־לֹ֗א בִּמְקוֹם֙ הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ הַמַּמְלִ֣יךְ אֹת֔וֹ אֲשֶׁ֤ר בָּזָה֙ אֶת־אָ֣לָת֔וֹ וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר הֵפֵ֖ר אֶת־בְּרִית֑וֹ אִתּ֥וֹ בְתוֹךְ־בָּבֶ֖ל יָמֽוּת׃ # verse = EZK.17.16 1 חַי־ חַי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[by].the.life|Ref=EZK_17:16!1|MId=o260170160011|Strong=2416|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 2 אָ֗נִי אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 1 nsubj _ Gloss=of.me|Ref=EZK_17:16!2|MId=o260170160021|Strong=0589|Type=personal 3 נְאֻם֮ נְאֻם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 parataxis _ Gloss=the.utterance|Ref=EZK_17:16!3|MId=o260170160031|Strong=5002 4-5 אֲדֹנָ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אֲדֹנ אֲדֹנָי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Lord|Ref=EZK_17:16!4|MId=o260170160041|Strong=0136 5 ָ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=of.[the]|Ref=EZK_17:16!4|MId=o260170160042|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 6 יְהוִה֒ יְהֹוִה PROPN _ _ 4 appos _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EZK_17:16!5|MId=o260170160051|Strong=3069 7 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 33 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=EZK_17:16!6|MId=o260170160061|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 8 לֹ֗א לֹא ADV _ _ 33 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EZK_17:16!7|MId=o260170160071|Strong=3808|Type=negative 9-10 בִּמְקוֹם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZK_17:16!8|MId=o260170160081|Strong=0871a 10 מְקוֹם֙ מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 33 obl _ Gloss=the.place|Ref=EZK_17:16!8|MId=o260170160082|Strong=4725 11-12 הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZK_17:16!9|MId=o260170160091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 מֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=EZK_17:16!9|MId=o260170160092|Strong=4428 13-14 הַמַּמְלִ֣יךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=[who].made|Ref=EZK_17:16!10|MId=o260170160101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 מַּמְלִ֣יךְ מָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 12 acl:relcl _ Gloss=king|Ref=EZK_17:16!10|MId=o260170160102|Strong=4427|Frame=AA:260170160092;A0:260170160112;|Type=participle_active 15-16 אֹת֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=|Ref=EZK_17:16!11|MId=o260170160111|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 16 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 obj _ Gloss=him|Ref=EZK_17:16!11|MId=o260170160112|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 17 אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 18 mark _ Gloss=whom|Ref=EZK_17:16!12|MId=o260170160121|Strong=0834|Type=relative 18 בָּזָה֙ בָּזָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 12 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.despised|Ref=EZK_17:16!13|MId=o260170160131|Strong=0959|Frame=A0:260170130022;A1:260170160151;|Type=qatal 19 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EZK_17:16!14|MId=o260170160141|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 20-21 אָ֣לָת֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 אָ֣לָת אָלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=oath|Ref=EZK_17:16!15|MId=o260170160151|Strong=0423 21 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EZK_17:16!15|MId=o260170160152|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22-23 וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_17:16!16|MId=o260170160161|Strong=2050b 23 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 24 mark _ Gloss=whom|Ref=EZK_17:16!16|MId=o260170160162|Strong=0834|Type=relative 24 הֵפֵ֖ר פָּרַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 18 conj _ Gloss=he.broke|Ref=EZK_17:16!17|MId=o260170160171|Strong=6565|Frame=AA:260170130022;A0:260170160191;|Type=qatal 25 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EZK_17:16!18|MId=o260170160181|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 26-27 בְּרִית֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 בְּרִית בְּרִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 24 obj _ Gloss=covenant|Ref=EZK_17:16!19|MId=o260170160191|Strong=1285 27 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EZK_17:16!19|MId=o260170160192|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 28-29 אִתּ֥וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 אִתּ אֵת ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=EZK_17:16!20|MId=o260170160201|Strong=0854 29 ֥וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 nmod _ Gloss=him|Ref=EZK_17:16!20|MId=o260170160202|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 30-31 בְתוֹךְ־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZK_17:16!21|MId=o260170160211|Strong=0871a 31 תוֹךְ־ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 nmod _ Gloss=the.midst|Ref=EZK_17:16!21|MId=o260170160212|Strong=8432 32 בָּבֶ֖ל בָּבֶל PROPN _ _ 31 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Babylon|Ref=EZK_17:16!22|MId=o260170160221|Strong=0894 33 יָמֽוּת מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.die|Ref=EZK_17:16!23|MId=o260170160231|Strong=4191|Frame=A0:260170130022;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=EZK_17:16!23 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
