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, thou, tears — and what happens in the verse to desire, thee, lamentation, eyes, 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. בֶּן־אָדָ֕ם הִנְנִ֨י לֹקֵ֧חַ מִמְּךָ֛ אֶת־מַחְמַ֥ד עֵינֶ֖יךָ בְּמַגֵּפָ֑ה וְלֹ֤א תִסְפֹּד֙ וְלֹ֣א תִבְכֶּ֔ה וְל֥וֹא תָב֖וֹא דִּמְעָתֶֽךָ׃ ['Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke; yet neither shalt thou make lamentation nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.637/) ## 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:607 # text = בֶּן־אָדָ֕ם הִנְנִ֨י לֹקֵ֧חַ מִמְּךָ֛ אֶת־מַחְמַ֥ד עֵינֶ֖יךָ בְּמַגֵּפָ֑ה וְלֹ֤א תִסְפֹּד֙ וְלֹ֣א תִבְכֶּ֔ה וְל֥וֹא תָב֖וֹא דִּמְעָתֶֽךָ׃ # verse = EZK.24.16 1 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 dislocated _ Gloss=O.son|Ref=EZK_24:16!1|MId=o260240160011|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 2 אָדָ֕ם אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.humankind|Ref=EZK_24:16!2|MId=o260240160021|Strong=0120 3-4 הִנְנִ֨י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הִנ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 5 nsubj _ Gloss=here|Ref=EZK_24:16!3|MId=o260240160031|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 4 ְנִ֨י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 3 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=EZK_24:16!3|MId=o260240160032|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 5 לֹקֵ֧חַ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[am].about.to.take|Ref=EZK_24:16!4|MId=o260240160041|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:260240160032;A1:260240160071;|Type=participle_active 6-7 מִמְּךָ֛ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 מִמּ מִן ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=EZK_24:16!5|MId=o260240160051|Strong=4480 7 ְךָ֛ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 5 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=EZK_24:16!5|MId=o260240160052|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 8 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EZK_24:16!6|MId=o260240160061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 9 מַחְמַ֥ד מַחְמָד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 obj _ Gloss=the.desire|Ref=EZK_24:16!7|MId=o260240160071|Strong=4261 10-11 עֵינֶ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 עֵינֶ֖י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.eyes|Ref=EZK_24:16!8|MId=o260240160081|Strong=5869 11 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EZK_24:16!8|MId=o260240160082|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 12-13 בְּמַגֵּפָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=EZK_24:16!9|MId=o260240160091|Strong=0871a 13 מַגֵּפָ֑ה מַגֵּפָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=a.blow|Ref=EZK_24:16!9|MId=o260240160092|Strong=4046 14-15 וְלֹ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_24:16!10|MId=o260240160101|Strong=2050b 15 לֹ֤א לֹא ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EZK_24:16!10|MId=o260240160102|Strong=3808|Type=negative 16 תִסְפֹּד֙ סָפַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 5 conj _ Gloss=you.must.lament|Ref=EZK_24:16!11|MId=o260240160111|Strong=5594|Frame=A0:260240160011;|Type=yiqtol 17-18 וְלֹ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_24:16!12|MId=o260240160121|Strong=2050b 18 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 19 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EZK_24:16!12|MId=o260240160122|Strong=3808|Type=negative 19 תִבְכֶּ֔ה בָּכָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 5 conj _ Gloss=you.must.weep|Ref=EZK_24:16!13|MId=o260240160131|Strong=1058|Frame=A0:260240160011;|Type=yiqtol 20-21 וְל֥וֹא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_24:16!14|MId=o260240160141|Strong=2050b 21 ל֥וֹא לֹא ADV _ _ 22 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EZK_24:16!14|MId=o260240160142|Strong=3808|Type=negative 22 תָב֖וֹא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=it.will.come|Ref=EZK_24:16!15|MId=o260240160151|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:260240160161;|Type=yiqtol 23-24 דִּמְעָתֶֽךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 דִּמְעָת דִּמְעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 22 nsubj _ Gloss=tear[s]|Ref=EZK_24:16!16|MId=o260240160161|Strong=1832 24 ֶֽךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EZK_24:16!16|MId=o260240160162|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=EZK_24:16!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | לֹקֵחַ *\[am\] about to take* | participle active · qal | ְנִי *I* | מַחְמַד *the desire* | | | | **not** תִסְפֹּד *you must lament* | yiqtol · qal | בֶּן־ *O son* | | | | | **not** תִבְכֶּה *you must weep* | yiqtol · qal | בֶּן־ *O son* | | | | | **not** תָבוֹא *it will come* | yiqtol · qal | דִּמְעָת *tear\[s\]* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
