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 — it, certain — and what happens in the verse, 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. וַיְהִ֣י ׀ בַּשָּׁנָ֣ה הַשְּׁבִיעִ֗ית בַּֽחֲמִשִׁי֙ בֶּעָשׂ֣וֹר לַחֹ֔דֶשׁ בָּ֧אוּ אֲנָשִׁ֛ים מִזִּקְנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לִדְרֹ֣שׁ אֶת־יְהוָ֑ה וַיֵּשְׁב֖וּ לְפָנָֽי׃ס [And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and sat before me.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.454/) ## 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:431 # text = וַיְהִ֣י ׀ בַּשָּׁנָ֣ה הַשְּׁבִיעִ֗ית בַּֽחֲמִשִׁי֙ בֶּעָשׂ֣וֹר לַחֹ֔דֶשׁ בָּ֧אוּ אֲנָשִׁ֛ים מִזִּקְנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לִדְרֹ֣שׁ אֶת־יְהוָ֑ה וַיֵּשְׁב֖וּ לְפָנָֽי׃ס # verse = EZK.20.1 1-2 וַיְהִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_20:1!1|MId=o260200010011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִ֣י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=EZK_20:1!1|MId=o260200010012|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 3 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 2 punct _ Ref=EZK_20:1!1 4-6 בַּשָּׁנָ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZK_20:1!2|MId=o260200010021|Strong=0871a 5 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_20:1!2|MId=o260200010021ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 שָּׁנָ֣ה שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=year|Ref=EZK_20:1!2|MId=o260200010022|Strong=8141 7-8 הַשְּׁבִיעִ֗ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=EZK_20:1!3|MId=o260200010031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 שְּׁבִיעִ֗ית שְׁבִיעִי NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 nummod _ Gloss=seventh|Ref=EZK_20:1!3|MId=o260200010032|Strong=7637|Type=ordinal_number 9-11 בַּֽחֲמִשִׁי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בַּֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=in.[the]|Ref=EZK_20:1!4|MId=o260200010041|Strong=0871a 10 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=fifth|Ref=EZK_20:1!4|MId=o260200010041ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 חֲמִשִׁי֙ חֲמִישִׁי NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=[month]|Ref=EZK_20:1!4|MId=o260200010042|Strong=2549|Type=ordinal_number 12-14 בֶּעָשׂ֣וֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בֶּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EZK_20:1!5|MId=o260200010051|Strong=0871a 13 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_20:1!5|MId=o260200010051ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 עָשׂ֣וֹר עָשׂוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=ten|Ref=EZK_20:1!5|MId=o260200010052|Strong=6218 15-17 לַחֹ֔דֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZK_20:1!6|MId=o260200010061|Strong=3807a 16 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_20:1!6|MId=o260200010061ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 חֹ֔דֶשׁ חֹדֶשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 nmod _ Gloss=month|Ref=EZK_20:1!6|MId=o260200010062|Strong=2320 18 בָּ֧אוּ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=they.came|Ref=EZK_20:1!7|MId=o260200010071|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:260200010081;|Type=qatal 19 אֲנָשִׁ֛ים אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 nsubj _ Gloss=men|Ref=EZK_20:1!8|MId=o260200010081|Strong=0376 20-21 מִזִּקְנֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZK_20:1!9|MId=o260200010091|Strong=4480 21 זִּקְנֵ֥י זָקֵן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 nmod _ Gloss=the.elders|Ref=EZK_20:1!9|MId=o260200010092|Strong=2205|Type=adjective 22 יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=EZK_20:1!10|MId=o260200010101|Strong=3478 23-24 לִדְרֹ֣שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_20:1!11|MId=o260200010111|Strong=3807a 24 דְרֹ֣שׁ דָּרַשׁ VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 18 advcl _ Gloss=consult|Ref=EZK_20:1!11|MId=o260200010112|Strong=1875|Frame=A0:260200010081;A1:260200010131;|Type=infinitive_construct 25 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EZK_20:1!12|MId=o260200010121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 26 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 24 obj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EZK_20:1!13|MId=o260200010131|Strong=3068 27-28 וַיֵּשְׁב֖וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_20:1!14|MId=o260200010141|Strong=2050b 28 יֵּשְׁב֖וּ יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.sat.down|Ref=EZK_20:1!14|MId=o260200010142|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:260200010081;|Type=wayyiqtol 29-31 לְפָנָֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=EZK_20:1!15|MId=o260200010151|Strong=3807a 30 פָנ פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 28 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=EZK_20:1!15|MId=o260200010152|Strong=6440 31 ָֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 30 nmod:poss _ Gloss=me|Ref=EZK_20:1!15|MId=o260200010153|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=EZK_20:1!15|SpaceAfter=No 33 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=EZK_20:1!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | בָּאוּ *they came* | qatal · qal | אֲנָשִׁים *men* | | | | | דְרֹשׁ *consult* | infinitive construct · qal | אֲנָשִׁים *men* | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | יֵּשְׁבוּ *they sat down* | wayyiqtol · qal | אֲנָשִׁים *men* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
