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: what happens in the verse to sword, hand, 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. וַיִּתֵּ֥ן אֹתָ֛הּ לְמָרְטָ֖ה לִתְפֹּ֣שׂ בַּכָּ֑ף הִֽיא־הוּחַ֤דָּה חֶ֙רֶב֙ וְהִ֣יא מֹרָ֔טָּה לָתֵ֥ת אוֹתָ֖הּ בְּיַד־הוֹרֵֽג׃ [And it is given to be furbished, that it may be handled; the sword, it is sharpened, yea, it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.516/) ## 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:490 # text = וַיִּתֵּ֥ן אֹתָ֛הּ לְמָרְטָ֖ה לִתְפֹּ֣שׂ בַּכָּ֑ף הִֽיא־הוּחַ֤דָּה חֶ֙רֶב֙ וְהִ֣יא מֹרָ֔טָּה לָתֵ֥ת אוֹתָ֖הּ בְּיַד־הוֹרֵֽג׃ # verse = EZK.21.16 1-2 וַיִּתֵּ֥ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_21:16!1|MId=o260210160011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּתֵּ֥ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=someone.gave|Ref=EZK_21:16!1|MId=o260210160012|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:260210140071;A1:260210160022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֹתָ֛הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=|Ref=EZK_21:16!2|MId=o260210160021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 4 ָ֛הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=EZK_21:16!2|MId=o260210160022|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 5-6 לְמָרְטָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_21:16!3|MId=o260210160031|Strong=3807a 6 מָרְטָ֖ה מָרַט VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 xcomp _ Gloss=polish.[it]|Ref=EZK_21:16!3|MId=o260210160032|Strong=4803|Frame=A0:;A1:260210140101;|Type=infinitive_construct 7-8 לִתְפֹּ֣שׂ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_21:16!4|MId=o260210160041|Strong=3807a 8 תְפֹּ֣שׂ תָּפַשׂ VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 6 advcl _ Gloss=grasp.[it]|Ref=EZK_21:16!4|MId=o260210160042|Strong=8610|Frame=A0:;A1:260210140101;|Type=infinitive_construct 9-11 בַּכָּ֑ף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZK_21:16!5|MId=o260210160051|Strong=0871a 10 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_21:16!5|MId=o260210160051ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 כָּ֑ף כַּף NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=palm|Ref=EZK_21:16!5|MId=o260210160052|Strong=3709 12 הִֽיא־ הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=EZK_21:16!6|MId=o260210160061|Strong=1931a|Type=personal|SpaceAfter=No 13 הוּחַ֤דָּה חָדַד VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=HOPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=it.has.been.sharpened|Ref=EZK_21:16!7|MId=o260210160071|Strong=2300|Frame=A1:260210160061;|Type=qatal 14 חֶ֙רֶב֙ חֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 appos _ Gloss=a.sword|Ref=EZK_21:16!8|MId=o260210160081|Strong=2719 15-16 וְהִ֣יא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_21:16!9|MId=o260210160091|Strong=2050b 16 הִ֣יא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=EZK_21:16!9|MId=o260210160092|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 17 מֹרָ֔טָּה מָרַט VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=PUAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.has.been.polished|Ref=EZK_21:16!10|MId=o260210160101|Strong=4803|Frame=A1:260210160092;|Type=qatal 18-19 לָתֵ֥ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_21:16!11|MId=o260210160111|Strong=3807a 19 תֵ֥ת נָתַן VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 17 advcl _ Gloss=put|Ref=EZK_21:16!11|MId=o260210160112|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:;A1:260210160122;|Type=infinitive_construct 20-21 אוֹתָ֖הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=|Ref=EZK_21:16!12|MId=o260210160121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 21 ָ֖הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=EZK_21:16!12|MId=o260210160122|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 22-23 בְּיַד־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=in.[the]|Ref=EZK_21:16!13|MId=o260210160131|Strong=0871a 23 יַד־ יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=EZK_21:16!13|MId=o260210160132|Strong=3027 24 הוֹרֵֽג הָרַג VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[one.who].slays|Ref=EZK_21:16!14|MId=o260210160141|Strong=2026|Type=participle_active|SpaceAfter=No 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=EZK_21:16!14 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּתֵּן *someone gave* | wayyiqtol · qal | | ָהּ *it* | | | | מָרְטָה *polish \[it\]* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | תְפֹּשׂ *grasp \[it\]* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | הוּחַדָּה *it has been sharpened* | qatal · hophal | | הִֽיא־ *it* | | | | מֹרָטָּה *it has been polished* | qatal · pual | | הִיא *it* | | | | תֵת *put* | infinitive construct · qal | | ָהּ *it* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
