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 — Thou, sword, great one — and what happens in the verse to hands, sword, great one, 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. וְאַתָּ֣ה בֶן־אָדָ֔ם הִנָּבֵ֕א וְהַ֖ךְ כַּ֣ף אֶל־כָּ֑ף וְתִכָּפֵ֞ל חֶ֤רֶב שְׁלִישִׁ֙תָה֙ חֶ֣רֶב חֲלָלִ֔ים הִ֗יא חֶ֚רֶב חָלָ֣ל הַגָּד֔וֹל הַחֹדֶ֖רֶת לָהֶֽם׃ [Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thy hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of those to be slain; it is the sword of the great one that is to be slain, which compasseth them about.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.520/) ## 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:493 # text = וְאַתָּ֣ה בֶן־אָדָ֔ם הִנָּבֵ֕א וְהַ֖ךְ כַּ֣ף אֶל־כָּ֑ף וְתִכָּפֵ֞ל חֶ֤רֶב שְׁלִישִׁ֙תָה֙ חֶ֣רֶב חֲלָלִ֔ים הִ֗יא חֶ֚רֶב חָלָ֣ל הַגָּד֔וֹל הַחֹדֶ֖רֶת לָהֶֽם׃ # verse = EZK.21.19 1-2 וְאַתָּ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_21:19!1|MId=o260210190011|Strong=2050b 2 אַתָּ֣ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 5 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=EZK_21:19!1|MId=o260210190012|Strong=0859|Type=personal 3 בֶן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 dislocated _ Gloss=O.son|Ref=EZK_21:19!2|MId=o260210190021|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 4 אָדָ֔ם אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.humankind|Ref=EZK_21:19!3|MId=o260210190031|Strong=0120 5 הִנָּבֵ֕א נָבָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=prophesy|Ref=EZK_21:19!4|MId=o260210190041|Strong=5012|Frame=A0:260210190012;|Type=imperative 6-7 וְהַ֖ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_21:19!5|MId=o260210190051|Strong=2050b 7 הַ֖ךְ נָכָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 5 conj _ Gloss=strike|Ref=EZK_21:19!5|MId=o260210190052|Strong=5221|Frame=AA:260210190021;A0:260210190061;|Type=imperative 8 כַּ֣ף כַּף NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 obj _ Gloss=palm|Ref=EZK_21:19!6|MId=o260210190061|Strong=3709 9 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_21:19!7|MId=o260210190071|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 10 כָּ֑ף כַּף NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=palm|Ref=EZK_21:19!8|MId=o260210190081|Strong=3709 11-12 וְתִכָּפֵ֞ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_21:19!9|MId=o260210190091|Strong=2050b 12 תִכָּפֵ֞ל כָּפַל VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=let.it.be.doubled|Ref=EZK_21:19!9|MId=o260210190092|Strong=3717|Frame=A1:260210190101;|Type=jussive 13 חֶ֤רֶב חֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 nsubj _ Gloss=a.sword|Ref=EZK_21:19!10|MId=o260210190101|Strong=2719 14-15 שְׁלִישִׁ֙תָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 שְׁלִישִׁ֙ת שְׁלִישִׁית NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 advmod _ Gloss=a|Ref=EZK_21:19!11|MId=o260210190111|Strong=7992|Type=ordinal_number 15 ָה֙ ה X _ _ 14 nmod _ Gloss=third|Ref=EZK_21:19!11|MId=o260210190112|Strong=1886j|Type=paragogic_he 16 חֶ֣רֶב חֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 parataxis _ Gloss=a.sword|Ref=EZK_21:19!12|MId=o260210190121|Strong=2719 17 חֲלָלִ֔ים חָלָל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[those].slain|Ref=EZK_21:19!13|MId=o260210190131|Strong=2491|Type=adjective 18 הִ֗יא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=EZK_21:19!14|MId=o260210190141|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 19 חֶ֚רֶב חֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 parataxis _ Gloss=[is].a.sword|Ref=EZK_21:19!15|MId=o260210190151|Strong=2719 20 חָלָ֣ל חָלָל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].slain|Ref=EZK_21:19!16|MId=o260210190161|Strong=2491|Type=adjective 21-22 הַגָּד֔וֹל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=EZK_21:19!17|MId=o260210190171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 גָּד֔וֹל גָּדוֹל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 amod _ Gloss=great|Ref=EZK_21:19!17|MId=o260210190172|Strong=1419|Type=adjective 23-24 הַחֹדֶ֖רֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 24 mark _ Gloss=[which]|Ref=EZK_21:19!18|MId=o260210190181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 חֹדֶ֖רֶת חָדַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 19 appos _ Gloss=surrounds|Ref=EZK_21:19!18|MId=o260210190182|Strong=2314|Frame=A0:260210190151;|Type=participle_active 25-26 לָהֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 ל לְ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=EZK_21:19!19|MId=o260210190191|Strong=3807a 26 ָהֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=EZK_21:19!19|MId=o260210190192|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=EZK_21:19!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הִנָּבֵא *prophesy* | imperative · niphal | אַתָּה *you* | | | | | הַךְ *strike* | imperative · hiphil | כַּף *palm* | | | בֶן־ *O son* | | תִכָּפֵל *let it be doubled* | jussive · niphal | | חֶרֶב *a sword* | | | | חֹדֶרֶת *surrounds* | participle active · qal | חֶרֶב *\[is\] a sword* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
