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, sword — and what happens in the verse to princes, sword, 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. זְעַ֤ק וְהֵילֵל֙ בֶּן־אָדָ֔ם כִּי־הִיא֙ הָיתָ֣הבְעַמִּ֔י הִ֖יא בְּכָל־נְשִׂיאֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל מְגוּרֵ֤י אֶל־חֶ֙רֶב֙ הָי֣וּ אֶת־עַמִּ֔י לָכֵ֖ן סְפֹ֥ק אֶל־יָרֵֽךְ׃ [Cry and wail, son of man; for it is upon My people, it is upon all the princes of Israel; they are thrust down to the sword with My people; smite therefore upon thy thigh.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.517/) ## 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:491 # text = זְעַ֤ק וְהֵילֵל֙ בֶּן־אָדָ֔ם כִּי־הִיא֙ הָיתָ֣הבְעַמִּ֔י הִ֖יא בְּכָל־נְשִׂיאֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל מְגוּרֵ֤י אֶל־חֶ֙רֶב֙ הָי֣וּ אֶת־עַמִּ֔י לָכֵ֖ן סְפֹ֥ק אֶל־יָרֵֽךְ׃ # verse = EZK.21.17 1 זְעַ֤ק זָעַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=cry.out|Ref=EZK_21:17!1|MId=o260210170011|Strong=2199|Frame=A0:260210170031;|Type=imperative 2-3 וְהֵילֵל֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_21:17!2|MId=o260210170021|Strong=2050b 3 הֵילֵל֙ יָלַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 conj _ Gloss=wail|Ref=EZK_21:17!2|MId=o260210170022|Strong=3213|Frame=A0:260210170031;|Type=imperative 4 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 parataxis _ Gloss=O.son|Ref=EZK_21:17!3|MId=o260210170031|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 5 אָדָ֔ם אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.humankind|Ref=EZK_21:17!4|MId=o260210170041|Strong=0120 6 כִּי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=EZK_21:17!5|MId=o260210170051|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 7 הִיא֙ הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=EZK_21:17!6|MId=o260210170061|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 8-11 הָיתָ֣הבְעַמִּ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הָיתָ֣ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 10 cop _ Gloss=it.has.come|Ref=EZK_21:17!7|MId=o260210170071|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:260210170061;|Type=qatal 9 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EZK_21:17!8|MId=o260210170081|Strong=0871a 10 עַמּ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 advcl _ Gloss=people|Ref=EZK_21:17!8|MId=o260210170082|Strong=5971 11 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=EZK_21:17!8|MId=o260210170083|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 12 הִ֖יא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 parataxis _ Gloss=it|Ref=EZK_21:17!9|MId=o260210170091|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 13-14 בְּכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=[is].on|Ref=EZK_21:17!10|MId=o260210170101|Strong=0871a 14 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=EZK_21:17!10|MId=o260210170102|Strong=3605 15 נְשִׂיאֵ֣י נָשִׂיא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.princes|Ref=EZK_21:17!11|MId=o260210170111|Strong=5387 16 יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=EZK_21:17!12|MId=o260210170121|Strong=3478 17 מְגוּרֵ֤י מָגַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 1 parataxis _ Gloss=thrown|Ref=EZK_21:17!13|MId=o260210170131|Strong=4048|Frame=A1:260210170111;|Type=participle_passive 18 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_21:17!14|MId=o260210170141|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 19 חֶ֙רֶב֙ חֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=[the].sword|Ref=EZK_21:17!15|MId=o260210170151|Strong=2719 20 הָי֣וּ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 17 cop _ Gloss=they.have.been|Ref=EZK_21:17!16|MId=o260210170161|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:260210170111;|Type=qatal 21 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=EZK_21:17!17|MId=o260210170171|Strong=0854|SpaceAfter=No 22-23 עַמִּ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 עַמּ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=people|Ref=EZK_21:17!18|MId=o260210170181|Strong=5971 23 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=EZK_21:17!18|MId=o260210170182|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 24-25 לָכֵ֖ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 לָ לָכֵן ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=therefore|Ref=EZK_21:17!19|MId=o260210170191|Strong=3807a 25 כֵ֖ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 1 conj _ Gloss=|Ref=EZK_21:17!19|MId=o260210170192|Strong=3651 26 סְפֹ֥ק סָפַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 parataxis _ Gloss=slap|Ref=EZK_21:17!20|MId=o260210170201|Strong=5606|Frame=A0:260210170031;|Type=imperative 27 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_21:17!21|MId=o260210170211|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 28 יָרֵֽךְ יָרֵךְ NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 26 obl _ Gloss=a.thigh|Ref=EZK_21:17!22|MId=o260210170221|Strong=3409|SpaceAfter=No 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=EZK_21:17!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: speech with no frame - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | זְעַק *cry out* | imperative · qal | בֶּן־ *O son* | | | | | הֵילֵל *wail* | imperative · hiphil | בֶּן־ *O son* | | | | | הָיתָה *it has come* | qatal · qal | הִיא *it* | | | | | מְגוּרֵי *thrown* | participle passive · qal | | נְשִׂיאֵי *the princes* | | | | הָיוּ *they have been* | qatal · qal | נְשִׂיאֵי *the princes* | | | | | סְפֹק *slap* | imperative · qal | בֶּן־ *O son* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
