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, elders, Myself, My — and what happens in the verse to sake, sight, nations, Myself, elders, land, 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. וָאַ֙עַשׂ֙ לְמַ֣עַן שְׁמִ֔י לְבִלְתִּ֥י הֵחֵ֛ל לְעֵינֵ֥י הַגּוֹיִ֖ם אֲשֶׁר־הֵ֣מָּה בְתוֹכָ֑ם אֲשֶׁ֨ר נוֹדַ֤עְתִּי אֲלֵיהֶם֙ לְעֵ֣ינֵיהֶ֔ם לְהוֹצִיאָ֖ם מֵאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ [But I wrought for My name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, among whom they were, in whose sight I made Myself known unto them, so as to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.463/) ## 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:439 # text = וָאַ֙עַשׂ֙ לְמַ֣עַן שְׁמִ֔י לְבִלְתִּ֥י הֵחֵ֛ל לְעֵינֵ֥י הַגּוֹיִ֖ם אֲשֶׁר־הֵ֣מָּה בְתוֹכָ֑ם אֲשֶׁ֨ר נוֹדַ֤עְתִּי אֲלֵיהֶם֙ לְעֵ֣ינֵיהֶ֔ם לְהוֹצִיאָ֖ם מֵאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ # verse = EZK.20.9 1-2 וָאַ֙עַשׂ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_20:9!1|MId=o260200090011|Strong=2050b 2 אַ֙עַשׂ֙ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.acted|Ref=EZK_20:9!1|MId=o260200090012|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:260200050051;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 לְמַ֣עַן לְמַעַן ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=for.the.sake.of|Ref=EZK_20:9!2|MId=o260200090021|Strong=4616 4-5 שְׁמִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 שְׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=name|Ref=EZK_20:9!3|MId=o260200090031|Strong=8034 5 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=EZK_20:9!3|MId=o260200090032|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 6-7 לְבִלְתִּ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_20:9!4|MId=o260200090041|Strong=3807a 7 בִלְתִּ֥י בֵּלֶת ADP _ _ 8 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EZK_20:9!4|MId=o260200090042|Strong=1115 8 הֵחֵ֛ל חָלַל VERB _ HebBinyan=NIPHAL 2 advcl _ Gloss=to.be.profaned|Ref=EZK_20:9!5|MId=o260200090051|Strong=2490|Frame=A1:260200090031;|Type=infinitive_construct 9-10 לְעֵינֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_20:9!6|MId=o260200090061|Strong=3807a 10 עֵינֵ֥י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 8 obl _ Gloss=the.eyes|Ref=EZK_20:9!6|MId=o260200090062|Strong=5869 11-12 הַגּוֹיִ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZK_20:9!7|MId=o260200090071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 גּוֹיִ֖ם גּוֹי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.nations|Ref=EZK_20:9!7|MId=o260200090072|Strong=1471 13 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=EZK_20:9!8|MId=o260200090081|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 14 הֵ֣מָּה הֵמָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=EZK_20:9!9|MId=o260200090091|Strong=1992|Type=personal 15-17 בְתוֹכָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=[were]|Ref=EZK_20:9!10|MId=o260200090101|Strong=0871a 16 תוֹכ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 acl:relcl _ Gloss=among|Ref=EZK_20:9!10|MId=o260200090102|Strong=8432 17 ָ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=them|Ref=EZK_20:9!10|MId=o260200090103|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 18 אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 19 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=EZK_20:9!11|MId=o260200090111|Strong=0834|Type=relative 19 נוֹדַ֤עְתִּי יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 12 acl:relcl _ Gloss=I.had.made.myself.known|Ref=EZK_20:9!12|MId=o260200090121|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:260200050051;|Type=qatal 20-21 אֲלֵיהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 אֲלֵי אֶל ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_20:9!13|MId=o260200090131|Strong=0413 21 הֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=EZK_20:9!13|MId=o260200090132|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 22-24 לְעֵ֣ינֵיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_20:9!14|MId=o260200090141|Strong=3807a 23 עֵ֣ינֵי עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 19 obl _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=EZK_20:9!14|MId=o260200090142|Strong=5869 24 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=EZK_20:9!14|MId=o260200090143|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 25-27 לְהוֹצִיאָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=EZK_20:9!15|MId=o260200090151|Strong=3807a 26 הוֹצִיא יָצָא VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 19 advcl _ Gloss=bringing|Ref=EZK_20:9!15|MId=o260200090152|Strong=3318|Frame=AA:260200050051;A0:260200090153;|Type=infinitive_construct 27 ָ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 obj _ Gloss=them.out|Ref=EZK_20:9!15|MId=o260200090153|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 28-29 מֵאֶ֥רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=EZK_20:9!16|MId=o260200090161|Strong=4480 29 אֶ֥רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 26 obl _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=EZK_20:9!16|MId=o260200090162|Strong=0776 30 מִצְרָֽיִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 29 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Egypt|Ref=EZK_20:9!17|MId=o260200090171|Strong=4714|SpaceAfter=No 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=EZK_20:9!17 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אַעַשׂ *I acted* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | הֵחֵל *to be profaned* | infinitive construct · niphal | | שְׁמ *name* | | | | נוֹדַעְתִּי *I had made myself known* | qatal · niphal | | | | | | הוֹצִיא *bringing* | infinitive construct · hiphil | ָם *them out* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
