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 — house, way, righteous, ways — and what happens in the verse to ways, 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. וְאָֽמְרוּ֙ בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לֹ֥א יִתָּכֵ֖ן דֶּ֣רֶךְ אֲדֹנָ֑י הַדְּרָכַ֞י לֹ֤א יִתָּֽכְנּוּ֙בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל הֲלֹ֥א דַרְכֵיכֶ֖ם לֹ֥א יִתָּכֵֽן׃ [Yet saith the house of Israel: The way of the Lord is not equal.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.434/) [O house of Israel, is it My ways that are not equal? is it not your ways that are unequal?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.435/) ## 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:413 # text = וְאָֽמְרוּ֙ בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לֹ֥א יִתָּכֵ֖ן דֶּ֣רֶךְ אֲדֹנָ֑י הַדְּרָכַ֞י לֹ֤א יִתָּֽכְנּוּ֙בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל הֲלֹ֥א דַרְכֵיכֶ֖ם לֹ֥א יִתָּכֵֽן׃ # verse = EZK.18.29 1-2 וְאָֽמְרוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_18:29!1|MId=o260180290011|Strong=2050b 2 אָֽמְרוּ֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.say|Ref=EZK_18:29!1|MId=o260180290012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:260180290021;|Type=weqatal 3 בֵּ֣ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=EZK_18:29!2|MId=o260180290021|Strong=1004 4 יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=EZK_18:29!3|MId=o260180290031|Strong=3478 5 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EZK_18:29!4|MId=o260180290041|Strong=3808|Type=negative 6 יִתָּכֵ֖ן תָּכַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=it.is.correct|Ref=EZK_18:29!5|MId=o260180290051|Strong=8505|Frame=A1:260180290061;|Type=yiqtol 7 דֶּ֣רֶךְ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 6 nsubj _ Gloss=the.way|Ref=EZK_18:29!6|MId=o260180290061|Strong=1870 8-9 אֲדֹנָ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 אֲדֹנ אֲדֹנָי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Lord|Ref=EZK_18:29!7|MId=o260180290071|Strong=0136 9 ָ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=of.[the]|Ref=EZK_18:29!7|MId=o260180290072|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 10-12 הַדְּרָכַ֞י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הַ הַ PART _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=?|Ref=EZK_18:29!8|MId=o260180290081|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 11 דְּרָכ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Plur 14 nsubj _ Gloss=ways|Ref=EZK_18:29!8|MId=o260180290082|Strong=1870 12 ַ֞י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=EZK_18:29!8|MId=o260180290083|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 13 לֹ֤א לֹא ADV _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EZK_18:29!9|MId=o260180290091|Strong=3808|Type=negative 14-15 יִתָּֽכְנּוּ֙בֵּ֣ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 יִתָּֽכְנּוּ֙ תָּכַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 6 parataxis _ Gloss=are.they.correct|Ref=EZK_18:29!10|MId=o260180290101|Strong=8505|Frame=A1:260180290082;|Type=yiqtol 15 בֵּ֣ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 parataxis _ Gloss=O.house|Ref=EZK_18:29!11|MId=o260180290111|Strong=1004 16 יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=EZK_18:29!12|MId=o260180290121|Strong=3478 17-18 הֲלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 22 advmod _ Gloss=?|Ref=EZK_18:29!13|MId=o260180290131|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 18 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 22 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EZK_18:29!13|MId=o260180290132|Strong=3808|Type=negative 19-20 דַרְכֵיכֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 דַרְכֵי דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Plur 22 nsubj _ Gloss=ways|Ref=EZK_18:29!14|MId=o260180290141|Strong=1870 20 כֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EZK_18:29!14|MId=o260180290142|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 21 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 22 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EZK_18:29!15|MId=o260180290151|Strong=3808|Type=negative 22 יִתָּכֵֽן תָּכַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 parataxis _ Gloss=is.it.correct|Ref=EZK_18:29!16|MId=o260180290161|Strong=8505|Frame=A1:260180290141;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=EZK_18:29!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָֽמְרוּ *they say* | weqatal · qal | בֵּית *the house* | | | | | **not** יִתָּכֵן *it is correct* | yiqtol · niphal | | דֶּרֶךְ *the way* | | | | **not** יִתָּֽכְנּוּ *are they correct* | yiqtol · niphal | | דְּרָכ *ways* | | | | **not** יִתָּכֵֽן *is it correct* | yiqtol · niphal | | דַרְכֵי *ways* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
