Ezekiel 17:18 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Jonathan, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/EZK.17.18/) [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/) / 17:18 # Ezekiel 17:18 יְחֶזְקֵאל **Who acts:** king · **What happens:** see, despise, break, give, do, not escape · **To what, where:** oath, covenant, hand, things · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Ezekiel 17:18 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 — king — and what happens in the verse to oath, covenant, hand, things, 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. וּבָזָ֥ה אָלָ֖ה לְהָפֵ֣ר בְּרִ֑ית וְהִנֵּ֨ה נָתַ֥ן יָד֛וֹ וְכָל־אֵ֥לֶּה עָשָׂ֖ה לֹ֥א יִמָּלֵֽט׃ס [seeing he hath despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these things, he shall not escape.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.396/) ## 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:378 # text = וּבָזָ֥ה אָלָ֖ה לְהָפֵ֣ר בְּרִ֑ית וְהִנֵּ֨ה נָתַ֥ן יָד֛וֹ וְכָל־אֵ֥לֶּה עָשָׂ֖ה לֹ֥א יִמָּלֵֽט׃ס # verse = EZK.17.18 1-2 וּבָזָ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_17:18!1|MId=o260170180011|Strong=2050b 2 בָזָ֥ה בָּזָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.despised|Ref=EZK_17:18!1|MId=o260170180012|Strong=0959|Frame=A0:260170130022;A1:260170180021;|Type=qatal 3 אָלָ֖ה אָלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=[the].oath|Ref=EZK_17:18!2|MId=o260170180021|Strong=0423 4-5 לְהָפֵ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=EZK_17:18!3|MId=o260170180031|Strong=3807a 5 הָפֵ֣ר פָּרַר VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 2 advcl _ Gloss=breaking|Ref=EZK_17:18!3|MId=o260170180032|Strong=6565|Frame=AA:260170130022;A0:260170180041;|Type=infinitive_construct 6 בְּרִ֑ית בְּרִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 obj _ Gloss=[the].covenant|Ref=EZK_17:18!4|MId=o260170180041|Strong=1285 7-8 וְהִנֵּ֨ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_17:18!5|MId=o260170180051|Strong=2050b 8 הִנֵּ֨ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 9 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=EZK_17:18!5|MId=o260170180052|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 9 נָתַ֥ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.had.given|Ref=EZK_17:18!6|MId=o260170180061|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:260170130022;A1:260170180071;|Type=qatal 10-11 יָד֛וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 obj _ Gloss=hand|Ref=EZK_17:18!7|MId=o260170180071|Strong=3027 11 ֛וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EZK_17:18!7|MId=o260170180072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12-13 וְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_17:18!8|MId=o260170180081|Strong=2050b 13 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=EZK_17:18!8|MId=o260170180082|Strong=3605 14 אֵ֥לֶּה אֵלֶּה DET _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 13 det _ Gloss=these.[things]|Ref=EZK_17:18!9|MId=o260170180091|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 15 עָשָׂ֖ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 9 conj _ Gloss=he.did|Ref=EZK_17:18!10|MId=o260170180101|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:260170130022;A1:260170180091;|Type=qatal 16 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 17 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EZK_17:18!11|MId=o260170180111|Strong=3808|Type=negative 17 יִמָּלֵֽט מָלַט VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.escape|Ref=EZK_17:18!12|MId=o260170180121|Strong=4422|Frame=A0:260170130022;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 18 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 17 punct _ Ref=EZK_17:18!12|SpaceAfter=No 19 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 17 punct _ Ref=EZK_17:18!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | בָזָה *he despised* | qatal · qal | | אָלָה *\[the\] oath* | | | | הָפֵר *breaking* | infinitive construct · hiphil | בְּרִית *\[the\] covenant* | | | | | נָתַן *he had given* | qatal · qal | | יָד *hand* | | | | עָשָׂה *he did* | qatal · qal | | אֵלֶּה *these \[things\]* | | | | **not** יִמָּלֵֽט *he will escape* | yiqtol · niphal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
