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 — names, women, Samaria — and what happens in the verse to Oholah, sons, women, 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. וּשְׁמוֹתָ֗ן אָהֳלָ֤ה הַגְּדוֹלָה֙ וְאָהֳלִיבָ֣ה אֲחוֹתָ֔הּ וַתִּֽהְיֶ֣ינָה לִ֔י וַתֵּלַ֖דְנָה בָּנִ֣ים וּבָנ֑וֹת וּשְׁמוֹתָ֕ן שֹׁמְר֣וֹן אָהֳלָ֔ה וִירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם אָהֳלִיבָֽה׃ [And the names of them were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister; and they became Mine, and they bore sons and daughters.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.574/) [And as for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.575/) ## 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:546 # text = וּשְׁמוֹתָ֗ן אָהֳלָ֤ה הַגְּדוֹלָה֙ וְאָהֳלִיבָ֣ה אֲחוֹתָ֔הּ וַתִּֽהְיֶ֣ינָה לִ֔י וַתֵּלַ֖דְנָה בָּנִ֣ים וּבָנ֑וֹת וּשְׁמוֹתָ֕ן שֹׁמְר֣וֹן אָהֳלָ֔ה וִירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם אָהֳלִיבָֽה׃ # verse = EZK.23.4 1-3 וּשְׁמוֹתָ֗ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_23:4!1|MId=o260230040011|Strong=2050b 2 שְׁמוֹת שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 dislocated _ Gloss=names|Ref=EZK_23:4!1|MId=o260230040012|Strong=8034 3 ָ֗ן הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=EZK_23:4!1|MId=o260230040013|Strong=4993c|Type=pronominal 4 אָהֳלָ֤ה אׇהֳלָה PROPN _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=[was].Oholah|Ref=EZK_23:4!2|MId=o260230040021|Strong=0170 5-6 הַגְּדוֹלָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the.old|Ref=EZK_23:4!3|MId=o260230040031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 גְּדוֹלָה֙ גָּדוֹל ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 nsubj _ Gloss=[one]|Ref=EZK_23:4!3|MId=o260230040032|Strong=1419|Type=adjective 7-8 וְאָהֳלִיבָ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and.[was]|Ref=EZK_23:4!4|MId=o260230040041|Strong=2050b 8 אָהֳלִיבָ֣ה אׇהֳלִיבָה PROPN _ _ 4 conj _ Gloss=Oholibah|Ref=EZK_23:4!4|MId=o260230040042|Strong=0172 9-10 אֲחוֹתָ֔הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 אֲחוֹת אָחוֹת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 nsubj _ Gloss=sister|Ref=EZK_23:4!5|MId=o260230040051|Strong=0269 10 ָ֔הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=EZK_23:4!5|MId=o260230040052|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 11-12 וַתִּֽהְיֶ֣ינָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_23:4!6|MId=o260230040061|Strong=2050b 12 תִּֽהְיֶ֣ינָה הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=they.belonged|Ref=EZK_23:4!6|MId=o260230040062|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:260230020041;|Type=wayyiqtol 13-14 לִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 ל לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_23:4!7|MId=o260230040071|Strong=3807a 14 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=EZK_23:4!7|MId=o260230040072|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 15-16 וַתֵּלַ֖דְנָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_23:4!8|MId=o260230040081|Strong=2050b 16 תֵּלַ֖דְנָה יָלַד VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=they.bore|Ref=EZK_23:4!8|MId=o260230040082|Strong=3205|Frame=A0:260230020041;A1:260230040091;260230040102;|Type=wayyiqtol 17 בָּנִ֣ים בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 obj _ Gloss=sons|Ref=EZK_23:4!9|MId=o260230040091|Strong=1121 18-19 וּבָנ֑וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_23:4!10|MId=o260230040101|Strong=2050b 19 בָנ֑וֹת בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 17 conj _ Gloss=daughters|Ref=EZK_23:4!10|MId=o260230040102|Strong=1323 20-22 וּשְׁמוֹתָ֕ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_23:4!11|MId=o260230040111|Strong=2050b 21 שְׁמוֹת שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 dislocated _ Gloss=names|Ref=EZK_23:4!11|MId=o260230040112|Strong=8034 22 ָ֕ן הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=EZK_23:4!11|MId=o260230040113|Strong=4993c|Type=pronominal 23 שֹׁמְר֣וֹן שֹׁמְרוֹן PROPN _ _ 4 conj _ Gloss=[was].Samaria|Ref=EZK_23:4!12|MId=o260230040121|Strong=8111 24 אָהֳלָ֔ה אׇהֳלָה PROPN _ _ 23 nsubj _ Gloss=Oholah|Ref=EZK_23:4!13|MId=o260230040131|Strong=0170 25-26 וִירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וִ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and.[was]|Ref=EZK_23:4!14|MId=o260230040141|Strong=2050b 26 ירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 23 conj _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=EZK_23:4!14|MId=o260230040142|Strong=3389 27 אָהֳלִיבָֽה אׇהֳלִיבָה PROPN _ _ 26 nsubj _ Gloss=Oholibah|Ref=EZK_23:4!15|MId=o260230040151|Strong=0172|SpaceAfter=No 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=EZK_23:4!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תִּֽהְיֶינָה *they belonged* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | תֵּלַדְנָה *they bore* | wayyiqtol · qal | | בָּנִים *sons* + בָנוֹת *daughters* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
