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 — I, high place, ye — and what happens in the verse to name, 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. וָאֹמַ֣ר אֲלֵהֶ֔ם מָ֣ה הַבָּמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־אַתֶּ֥ם הַבָּאִ֖ים שָׁ֑ם וַיִּקָּרֵ֤א שְׁמָהּ֙ בָּמָ֔ה עַ֖ד הַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ [Then I said unto them: What meaneth the high place whereunto ye go?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.483/) [So the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.484/) ## 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:459 # text = וָאֹמַ֣ר אֲלֵהֶ֔ם מָ֣ה הַבָּמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־אַתֶּ֥ם הַבָּאִ֖ים שָׁ֑ם וַיִּקָּרֵ֤א שְׁמָהּ֙ בָּמָ֔ה עַ֖ד הַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ # verse = EZK.20.29 1-2 וָאֹמַ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_20:29!1|MId=o260200290011|Strong=2050b 2 אֹמַ֣ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.said|Ref=EZK_20:29!1|MId=o260200290012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:260200270121;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֲלֵהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֲל אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_20:29!2|MId=o260200290021|Strong=0413 4 ֵהֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=EZK_20:29!2|MId=o260200290022|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 5 מָ֣ה מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 2 ccomp _ Gloss=what?|Ref=EZK_20:29!3|MId=o260200290031|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative 6-7 הַבָּמָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=[is].the|Ref=EZK_20:29!4|MId=o260200290041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 בָּמָ֔ה בָּמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 nsubj _ Gloss=high.place|Ref=EZK_20:29!4|MId=o260200290042|Strong=1116 8 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 11 mark _ Gloss=where|Ref=EZK_20:29!5|MId=o260200290051|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 9 אַתֶּ֥ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 11 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=EZK_20:29!6|MId=o260200290061|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 10-11 הַבָּאִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 11 mark _ Gloss=[are].the|Ref=EZK_20:29!7|MId=o260200290071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 בָּאִ֖ים בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 7 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[ones.who].go|Ref=EZK_20:29!7|MId=o260200290072|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:260200270181;|Type=participle_active 12 שָׁ֑ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 11 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=EZK_20:29!8|MId=o260200290081|Strong=8033 13-14 וַיִּקָּרֵ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_20:29!9|MId=o260200290091|Strong=2050b 14 יִּקָּרֵ֤א קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.has.been.called|Ref=EZK_20:29!9|MId=o260200290092|Strong=7121|Frame=A1:260200290101;|Type=wayyiqtol 15-16 שְׁמָהּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 שְׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 nsubj _ Gloss=name|Ref=EZK_20:29!10|MId=o260200290101|Strong=8034 16 ָהּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=EZK_20:29!10|MId=o260200290102|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 17 בָּמָ֔ה בָּמָה PROPN _ _ 14 obj _ Gloss=Bamah|Ref=EZK_20:29!11|MId=o260200290111|Strong=1117 18 עַ֖ד עַד ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=EZK_20:29!12|MId=o260200290121|Strong=5704 19-20 הַיּ֥וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_20:29!13|MId=o260200290131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 יּ֥וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=EZK_20:29!13|MId=o260200290132|Strong=3117 21-22 הַזֶּֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=EZK_20:29!14|MId=o260200290141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 זֶּֽה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 20 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=EZK_20:29!14|MId=o260200290142|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=EZK_20:29!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: wh-question - act: ask - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֹמַר *I said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | בָּאִים *\[ones who\] go* | participle active · qal | | | | | | יִּקָּרֵא *it has been called* | wayyiqtol · niphal | | שְׁמ *name* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
