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 — Pharaoh, army — and what happens in the verse to king, war, mounds, forts, many souls, 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. וְלֹא֩ בְחַ֨יִל גָּד֜וֹל וּבְקָהָ֣ל רָ֗ב יַעֲשֶׂ֨ה אוֹת֤וֹ פַרְעֹה֙ בַּמִּלְחָמָ֔ה בִּשְׁפֹּ֥ךְ סֹלְלָ֖ה וּבִבְנ֣וֹת דָּיֵ֑ק לְהַכְרִ֖ית נְפָשׁ֥וֹת רַבּֽוֹת׃ [Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company succour him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts, to cut off many souls;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.395/) ## 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:377 # text = וְלֹא֩ בְחַ֨יִל גָּד֜וֹל וּבְקָהָ֣ל רָ֗ב יַעֲשֶׂ֨ה אוֹת֤וֹ פַרְעֹה֙ בַּמִּלְחָמָ֔ה בִּשְׁפֹּ֥ךְ סֹלְלָ֖ה וּבִבְנ֣וֹת דָּיֵ֑ק לְהַכְרִ֖ית נְפָשׁ֥וֹת רַבּֽוֹת׃ # verse = EZK.17.17 1-2 וְלֹא֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_17:17!1|MId=o260170170011|Strong=2050b 2 לֹא֩ לֹא ADV _ _ 10 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EZK_17:17!1|MId=o260170170012|Strong=3808|Type=negative 3-4 בְחַ֨יִל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=EZK_17:17!2|MId=o260170170021|Strong=0871a 4 חַ֨יִל חַיִל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=an.army|Ref=EZK_17:17!2|MId=o260170170022|Strong=2428 5 גָּד֜וֹל גָּדוֹל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 amod _ Gloss=large|Ref=EZK_17:17!3|MId=o260170170031|Strong=1419|Type=adjective 6-8 וּבְקָהָ֣ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_17:17!4|MId=o260170170041|Strong=2050b 7 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=EZK_17:17!4|MId=o260170170042|Strong=0871a 8 קָהָ֣ל קָהָל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=a.company|Ref=EZK_17:17!4|MId=o260170170043|Strong=6951 9 רָ֗ב רַב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 amod _ Gloss=great|Ref=EZK_17:17!5|MId=o260170170051|Strong=7227|Type=adjective 10 יַעֲשֶׂ֨ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.do|Ref=EZK_17:17!6|MId=o260170170061|Strong=6213|Frame=A1:260170170072;A0:260170170081;|Type=yiqtol 11-12 אוֹת֤וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=EZK_17:17!7|MId=o260170170071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 12 ֤וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=him|Ref=EZK_17:17!7|MId=o260170170072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 13 פַרְעֹה֙ פַּרְעֹה PROPN _ _ 10 nsubj _ Gloss=Pharaoh|Ref=EZK_17:17!8|MId=o260170170081|Strong=6547 14-16 בַּמִּלְחָמָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZK_17:17!9|MId=o260170170091|Strong=0871a 15 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=EZK_17:17!9|MId=o260170170091ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 מִּלְחָמָ֔ה מִלְחָמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=battle|Ref=EZK_17:17!9|MId=o260170170092|Strong=4421 17-18 בִּשְׁפֹּ֥ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=EZK_17:17!10|MId=o260170170101|Strong=0871a 18 שְׁפֹּ֥ךְ שָׁפַךְ VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 10 advcl _ Gloss=pour.out|Ref=EZK_17:17!10|MId=o260170170102|Strong=8210|Frame=A0:260170160221;A1:260170170111;|Type=infinitive_construct 19 סֹלְלָ֖ה סֹלְלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=a.mound|Ref=EZK_17:17!11|MId=o260170170111|Strong=5550 20-22 וּבִבְנ֣וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_17:17!12|MId=o260170170121|Strong=2050b 21 בִ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=EZK_17:17!12|MId=o260170170122|Strong=0871a 22 בְנ֣וֹת בָּנָה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 18 conj _ Gloss=build|Ref=EZK_17:17!12|MId=o260170170123|Strong=1129|Frame=A0:260170160221;A1:260170170131;|Type=infinitive_construct 23 דָּיֵ֑ק דָּיֵק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obj _ Gloss=a.siege-work|Ref=EZK_17:17!13|MId=o260170170131|Strong=1785 24-25 לְהַכְרִ֖ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_17:17!14|MId=o260170170141|Strong=3807a 25 הַכְרִ֖ית כָּרַת VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 22 advcl _ Gloss=cut.off|Ref=EZK_17:17!14|MId=o260170170142|Strong=3772|Frame=AA:260170160221;A0:260170170151;|Type=infinitive_construct 26 נְפָשׁ֥וֹת נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Plur 25 obj _ Gloss=lives|Ref=EZK_17:17!15|MId=o260170170151|Strong=5315 27 רַבּֽוֹת רַב ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 26 amod _ Gloss=many|Ref=EZK_17:17!16|MId=o260170170161|Strong=7227|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=EZK_17:17!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** יַעֲשֶׂה *he will do* | yiqtol · qal | פַרְעֹה *Pharaoh* | וֹ *him* | | | | שְׁפֹּךְ *pour out* | infinitive construct · qal | | סֹלְלָה *a mound* | | | | בְנוֹת *build* | infinitive construct · qal | | דָּיֵק *a siege-work* | | | | הַכְרִית *cut off* | infinitive construct · hiphil | נְפָשׁוֹת *lives* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
