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 — you, Lord GOD, ye — and what happens in the verse to yourselves, 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. לָכֵ֞ן אֱמֹ֣ר ׀ אֶל־בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה הַבְּדֶ֥רֶךְ אֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶ֖ם אַתֶּ֣ם נִטְמְאִ֑ים וְאַחֲרֵ֥י שִׁקּוּצֵיהֶ֖ם אַתֶּ֥ם זֹנִֽים׃ [Wherefore say unto the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord GOD: When ye pollute yourselves after the manner of your fathers, and go after their abominations,](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.485/) ## 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:460 # text = לָכֵ֞ן אֱמֹ֣ר ׀ אֶל־בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה הַבְּדֶ֥רֶךְ אֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶ֖ם אַתֶּ֣ם נִטְמְאִ֑ים וְאַחֲרֵ֥י שִׁקּוּצֵיהֶ֖ם אַתֶּ֥ם זֹנִֽים׃ # verse = EZK.20.30 1-2 לָכֵ֞ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 לָ לָכֵן ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=therefore|Ref=EZK_20:30!1|MId=o260200300011|Strong=3807a 2 כֵ֞ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=|Ref=EZK_20:30!1|MId=o260200300012|Strong=3651 3 אֱמֹ֣ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 parataxis _ Gloss=say|Ref=EZK_20:30!2|MId=o260200300021|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:260200270061;|Type=imperative 4 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 3 punct _ Ref=EZK_20:30!2 5 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_20:30!3|MId=o260200300031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 6 בֵּ֣ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=EZK_20:30!4|MId=o260200300041|Strong=1004 7 יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=EZK_20:30!5|MId=o260200300051|Strong=3478 8 כֹּ֤ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 9 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=EZK_20:30!6|MId=o260200300061|Strong=3541 9 אָמַר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 ccomp _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=EZK_20:30!7|MId=o260200300071|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:260200300081;|Type=qatal 10-11 אֲדֹנָ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 אֲדֹנ אֲדֹנָי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 nsubj _ Gloss=Lord|Ref=EZK_20:30!8|MId=o260200300081|Strong=0136 11 ָ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[the]|Ref=EZK_20:30!8|MId=o260200300082|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 12 יְהוִ֔ה יְהֹוִה PROPN _ _ 10 appos _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EZK_20:30!9|MId=o260200300091|Strong=3069 13-15 הַבְּדֶ֥רֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ PART _ _ 19 advmod _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZK_20:30!10|MId=o260200300101|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 14 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_20:30!10|MId=o260200300102|Strong=0871a 15 דֶ֥רֶךְ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=way?|Ref=EZK_20:30!10|MId=o260200300103|Strong=1870 16-17 אֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 אֲבֽוֹתֵי אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.ancestors|Ref=EZK_20:30!11|MId=o260200300111|Strong=0001 17 כֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EZK_20:30!11|MId=o260200300112|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 18 אַתֶּ֣ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 19 nsubj _ Gloss=[are].you|Ref=EZK_20:30!12|MId=o260200300121|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 19 נִטְמְאִ֑ים טָמֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur 9 ccomp _ Gloss=making.yourselves.unclean|Ref=EZK_20:30!13|MId=o260200300131|Strong=2930|Frame=A0:260200300121;|Type=participle_passive 20-21 וְאַחֲרֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_20:30!14|MId=o260200300141|Strong=2050b 21 אַחֲרֵ֥י אַחַר ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=EZK_20:30!14|MId=o260200300142|Strong=0310 22-23 שִׁקּוּצֵיהֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 שִׁקּוּצֵי שִׁקּוּץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 25 obl _ Gloss=things|Ref=EZK_20:30!15|MId=o260200300151|Strong=8251 23 הֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their.detestable|Ref=EZK_20:30!15|MId=o260200300152|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 24 אַתֶּ֥ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 nsubj _ Gloss=[are].you?|Ref=EZK_20:30!16|MId=o260200300161|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 25 זֹנִֽים זָנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 19 conj _ Gloss=acting.as.prostitutes|Ref=EZK_20:30!17|MId=o260200300171|Strong=2181|Frame=A0:260200300161;|Type=participle_active|SpaceAfter=No 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=EZK_20:30!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֱמֹר *say* | imperative · qal | | | | | | אָמַר *he says* | qatal · qal | אֲדֹנ *Lord* | | | | | נִטְמְאִים *making yourselves unclean* | participle passive · niphal | אַתֶּם *\[are\] you* | | | | | זֹנִֽים *acting as prostitutes* | participle active · qal | אַתֶּם *\[are\] you?* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
