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 — Lord GOD, I — and what happens in the verse to cedar, tender one, topmost, high mountain, 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. כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה וְלָקַ֣חְתִּי אָ֗נִי מִצַּמֶּ֧רֶת הָאֶ֛רֶז הָרָמָ֖ה וְנָתָ֑תִּי מֵרֹ֤אשׁ יֹֽנְקוֹתָיו֙ רַ֣ךְ אֶקְטֹ֔ף וְשָׁתַ֣לְתִּי אָ֔נִי עַ֥ל הַר־גָּבֹ֖הַ וְתָלֽוּל׃ [Thus saith the Lord GOD: Moreover I will take, even I, of the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will plant it upon a high mountain and eminent;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.400/) ## 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:382 # text = כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה וְלָקַ֣חְתִּי אָ֗נִי מִצַּמֶּ֧רֶת הָאֶ֛רֶז הָרָמָ֖ה וְנָתָ֑תִּי מֵרֹ֤אשׁ יֹֽנְקוֹתָיו֙ רַ֣ךְ אֶקְטֹ֔ף וְשָׁתַ֣לְתִּי אָ֔נִי עַ֥ל הַר־גָּבֹ֖הַ וְתָלֽוּל׃ # verse = EZK.17.22 1 כֹּ֤ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=EZK_17:22!1|MId=o260170220011|Strong=3541 2 אָמַר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=EZK_17:22!2|MId=o260170220021|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:260170220031;|Type=qatal 3-4 אֲדֹנָ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֲדֹנ אֲדֹנָי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Lord|Ref=EZK_17:22!3|MId=o260170220031|Strong=0136 4 ָ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[the]|Ref=EZK_17:22!3|MId=o260170220032|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 5 יְהוִ֔ה יְהֹוִה PROPN _ _ 3 appos _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EZK_17:22!4|MId=o260170220041|Strong=3069 6-7 וְלָקַ֣חְתִּי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_17:22!5|MId=o260170220051|Strong=2050b 7 לָקַ֣חְתִּי לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.will.take|Ref=EZK_17:22!5|MId=o260170220052|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:260170220061;|Type=weqatal 8 אָ֗נִי אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=EZK_17:22!6|MId=o260170220061|Strong=0589|Type=personal 9-10 מִצַּמֶּ֧רֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=EZK_17:22!7|MId=o260170220071|Strong=4480 10 צַּמֶּ֧רֶת צַמֶּרֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=the.treetop|Ref=EZK_17:22!7|MId=o260170220072|Strong=6788 11-12 הָאֶ֛רֶז _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZK_17:22!8|MId=o260170220081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 אֶ֛רֶז אֶרֶז NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.cedar|Ref=EZK_17:22!8|MId=o260170220082|Strong=0730 13-14 הָרָמָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הָ הַ SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=EZK_17:22!9|MId=o260170220091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 רָמָ֖ה רוּם VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 12 acl:relcl _ Gloss=high|Ref=EZK_17:22!9|MId=o260170220092|Strong=7311|Frame=A0:260170220082;|Type=participle_active 15-16 וְנָתָ֑תִּי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_17:22!10|MId=o260170220101|Strong=2050b 16 נָתָ֑תִּי נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.will.place.[it]|Ref=EZK_17:22!10|MId=o260170220102|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:260170220031;|Type=weqatal 17-18 מֵרֹ֤אשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=EZK_17:22!11|MId=o260170220111|Strong=4480 18 רֹ֤אשׁ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=the.top|Ref=EZK_17:22!11|MId=o260170220112|Strong=7218 19-20 יֹֽנְקוֹתָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 יֹֽנְקוֹתָי יוֹנֶקֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=its.young.shoots|Ref=EZK_17:22!12|MId=o260170220121|Strong=3127 20 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EZK_17:22!12|MId=o260170220122|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 21 רַ֣ךְ רַךְ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obj _ Gloss=a.tender.[shoot]|Ref=EZK_17:22!13|MId=o260170220131|Strong=7390|Type=adjective 22 אֶקְטֹ֔ף קָטַף VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 parataxis _ Gloss=I.will.pluck.off|Ref=EZK_17:22!14|MId=o260170220141|Strong=6998|Frame=A0:260170220031;A1:260170220131;|Type=yiqtol 23-24 וְשָׁתַ֣לְתִּי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_17:22!15|MId=o260170220151|Strong=2050b 24 שָׁתַ֣לְתִּי שָׁתַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.will.plant.[it]|Ref=EZK_17:22!15|MId=o260170220152|Strong=8362|Frame=A0:260170220161;A1:260170220131;|Type=weqatal 25 אָ֔נִי אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 24 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=EZK_17:22!16|MId=o260170220161|Strong=0589|Type=personal 26 עַ֥ל עַל ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EZK_17:22!17|MId=o260170220171|Strong=5921 27 הַר־ הַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 obl _ Gloss=a.mountain|Ref=EZK_17:22!18|MId=o260170220181|Strong=2022|SpaceAfter=No 28 גָּבֹ֖הַ גָּבֹהַּ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 amod _ Gloss=high|Ref=EZK_17:22!19|MId=o260170220191|Strong=1364|Type=adjective 29-30 וְתָלֽוּל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_17:22!20|MId=o260170220201|Strong=2050b 30 תָלֽוּל תָּלוּל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 amod _ Gloss=lofty|Ref=EZK_17:22!20|MId=o260170220202|Strong=8524a|Type=adjective 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=EZK_17:22!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
