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 — many waters, vine — and what happens in the verse to vine, good soil, branches, fruit, stately vine, 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. אֶל־שָׂ֥דֶה טּ֛וֹב אֶל־מַ֥יִם רַבִּ֖ים הִ֣יא שְׁתוּלָ֑ה לַעֲשׂ֤וֹת עָנָף֙ וְלָשֵׂ֣את פֶּ֔רִי לִהְי֖וֹת לְגֶ֥פֶן אַדָּֽרֶת׃ס [It was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a stately vine.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.383/) ## 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:368 # text = אֶל־שָׂ֥דֶה טּ֛וֹב אֶל־מַ֥יִם רַבִּ֖ים הִ֣יא שְׁתוּלָ֑ה לַעֲשׂ֤וֹת עָנָף֙ וְלָשֵׂ֣את פֶּ֔רִי לִהְי֖וֹת לְגֶ֥פֶן אַדָּֽרֶת׃ס # verse = EZK.17.8 1 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_17:8!1|MId=o260170080011|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 2 שָׂ֥דֶה שָׂדֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=a.field|Ref=EZK_17:8!2|MId=o260170080021|Strong=7704 3 טּ֛וֹב טוֹב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 amod _ Gloss=good|Ref=EZK_17:8!3|MId=o260170080031|Strong=2896|Type=adjective 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_17:8!4|MId=o260170080041|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 מַ֥יִם מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 conj _ Gloss=waters|Ref=EZK_17:8!5|MId=o260170080051|Strong=4325 6 רַבִּ֖ים רַב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 amod _ Gloss=many|Ref=EZK_17:8!6|MId=o260170080061|Strong=7227|Type=adjective 7 הִ֣יא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=EZK_17:8!7|MId=o260170080071|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 8 שְׁתוּלָ֑ה שָׁתַל VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[was].planted|Ref=EZK_17:8!8|MId=o260170080081|Strong=8362|Frame=A1:260170080071;|Type=participle_passive 9-10 לַעֲשׂ֤וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_17:8!9|MId=o260170080091|Strong=3807a 10 עֲשׂ֤וֹת עָשָׂה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 8 advcl _ Gloss=produce|Ref=EZK_17:8!9|MId=o260170080092|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:260170070102;A1:260170080101;|Type=infinitive_construct 11 עָנָף֙ עָנָף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obj _ Gloss=branch[es]|Ref=EZK_17:8!10|MId=o260170080101|Strong=6057 12-14 וְלָשֵׂ֣את _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_17:8!11|MId=o260170080111|Strong=2050b 13 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_17:8!11|MId=o260170080112|Strong=3807a 14 שֵׂ֣את נָשָׂא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 10 conj _ Gloss=bear|Ref=EZK_17:8!11|MId=o260170080113|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:260170070102;A1:260170080121;|Type=infinitive_construct 15 פֶּ֔רִי פְּרִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=fruit|Ref=EZK_17:8!12|MId=o260170080121|Strong=6529 16-17 לִהְי֖וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_17:8!13|MId=o260170080131|Strong=3807a 17 הְי֖וֹת הָיָה AUX _ HebBinyan=QAL 19 cop _ Gloss=become|Ref=EZK_17:8!13|MId=o260170080132|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:260170070102;|Type=infinitive_construct 18-19 לְגֶ֥פֶן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=(into).a|Ref=EZK_17:8!14|MId=o260170080141|Strong=3807a 19 גֶ֥פֶן גֶּפֶן NOUN _ Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=vine|Ref=EZK_17:8!14|MId=o260170080142|Strong=1612 20 אַדָּֽרֶת אַדֶּרֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.splendor|Ref=EZK_17:8!15|MId=o260170080151|Strong=0155|SpaceAfter=No 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=EZK_17:8!15|SpaceAfter=No 22 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=EZK_17:8!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שְׁתוּלָה *\[was\] planted* | participle passive · qal | | הִיא *it* | | | | עֲשׂוֹת *produce* | infinitive construct · qal | | עָנָף *branch\[es\]* | | | | שֵׂאת *bear* | infinitive construct · qal | | פֶּרִי *fruit* | | | | הְיוֹת *become* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
