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 — wicked man, man — and what happens in the verse to wickedness, that, soul, 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. וּבְשׁ֣וּב רָשָׁ֗ע מֵֽרִשְׁעָתוֹ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂ֔ה וַיַּ֥עַשׂ מִשְׁפָּ֖ט וּצְדָקָ֑ה ה֖וּא אֶת־נַפְשׁ֥וֹ יְחַיֶּֽה׃ [Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.432/) ## 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:411 # text = וּבְשׁ֣וּב רָשָׁ֗ע מֵֽרִשְׁעָתוֹ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂ֔ה וַיַּ֥עַשׂ מִשְׁפָּ֖ט וּצְדָקָ֑ה ה֖וּא אֶת־נַפְשׁ֥וֹ יְחַיֶּֽה׃ # verse = EZK.18.27 1-3 וּבְשׁ֣וּב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_18:27!1|MId=o260180270011|Strong=2050b 2 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=EZK_18:27!1|MId=o260180270012|Strong=0871a 3 שׁ֣וּב שׁוּב VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 19 advcl _ Gloss=turns.away|Ref=EZK_18:27!1|MId=o260180270013|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:260180270021;|Type=infinitive_construct 4 רָשָׁ֗ע רָשָׁע ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 nsubj _ Gloss=[the].wicked|Ref=EZK_18:27!2|MId=o260180270021|Strong=7563|Type=adjective 5-7 מֵֽרִשְׁעָתוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 מֵֽ מִן ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=EZK_18:27!3|MId=o260180270031|Strong=4480 6 רִשְׁעָת רִשְׁעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=wickedness|Ref=EZK_18:27!3|MId=o260180270032|Strong=7564 7 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EZK_18:27!3|MId=o260180270033|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 8 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=EZK_18:27!4|MId=o260180270041|Strong=0834|Type=relative 9 עָשָׂ֔ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.has.done|Ref=EZK_18:27!5|MId=o260180270051|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:260180270021;A1:260180270032;|Type=qatal 10-11 וַיַּ֥עַשׂ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_18:27!6|MId=o260180270061|Strong=2050b 11 יַּ֥עַשׂ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he.did|Ref=EZK_18:27!6|MId=o260180270062|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:260180270021;A1:260180270071;260180270082;|Type=wayyiqtol 12 מִשְׁפָּ֖ט מִשְׁפָּט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obj _ Gloss=justice|Ref=EZK_18:27!7|MId=o260180270071|Strong=4941 13-14 וּצְדָקָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_18:27!8|MId=o260180270081|Strong=2050b 14 צְדָקָ֑ה צְדָקָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 conj _ Gloss=righteousness|Ref=EZK_18:27!8|MId=o260180270082|Strong=6666 15 ה֖וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=EZK_18:27!9|MId=o260180270091|Strong=1931|Type=personal 16 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EZK_18:27!10|MId=o260180270101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 17-18 נַפְשׁ֥וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 נַפְשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 19 obj _ Gloss=life|Ref=EZK_18:27!11|MId=o260180270111|Strong=5315 18 ֥וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EZK_18:27!11|MId=o260180270112|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 19 יְחַיֶּֽה חָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.preserve.alive|Ref=EZK_18:27!12|MId=o260180270121|Strong=2421|Frame=A0:260180270091;A1:260180270111;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=EZK_18:27!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שׁוּב *turns away* | infinitive construct · qal | רָשָׁע *\[the\] wicked* | | | | | עָשָׂה *he has done* | qatal · qal | רָשָׁע *\[the\] wicked* | רִשְׁעָת *wickedness* | | | | יַּעַשׂ *he did* | wayyiqtol · qal | רָשָׁע *\[the\] wicked* | מִשְׁפָּט *justice* + צְדָקָה *righteousness* | | | | יְחַיֶּֽה *he will preserve alive* | yiqtol · piel | הוּא *he* | נַפְשׁ *life* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
