# Ezekiel 17:24 יְחֶזְקֵאל

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** trees, I, dry tree · **What happens:** know, bring down, exalt, dry up, make, flourish · **To what, where:** high tree, low tree, green tree, dry tree, field · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Ezekiel 17:24 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 — trees, I, dry tree — and what happens in the verse to high tree, low tree, green tree, dry tree, field, 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.

[And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish; I the LORD have spoken and have done it.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.402/)

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
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.
