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 — pillars, thy — and what happens in the verse to spoil, prey, walls, houses, stones, midst, 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. וְשָׁלְל֣וּ חֵילֵ֗ךְ וּבָֽזְזוּ֙ רְכֻלָּתֵ֔ךְ וְהָֽרְסוּ֙ חוֹמוֹתַ֔יִךְ וּבָתֵּ֥י חֶמְדָּתֵ֖ךְ יִתֹּ֑צוּ וַאֲבָנַ֤יִךְ וְעֵצַ֙יִךְ֙ וַֽעֲפָרֵ֔ךְ בְּת֥וֹךְ מַ֖יִם יָשִֽׂימוּ׃ [And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise; and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy the houses of thy delight; and thy stones and thy timber and thy dust shall they lay in the midst of the waters.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.677/) ## 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:647 # text = וְשָׁלְל֣וּ חֵילֵ֗ךְ וּבָֽזְזוּ֙ רְכֻלָּתֵ֔ךְ וְהָֽרְסוּ֙ חוֹמוֹתַ֔יִךְ וּבָתֵּ֥י חֶמְדָּתֵ֖ךְ יִתֹּ֑צוּ וַאֲבָנַ֤יִךְ וְעֵצַ֙יִךְ֙ וַֽעֲפָרֵ֔ךְ בְּת֥וֹךְ מַ֖יִם יָשִֽׂימוּ׃ # verse = EZK.26.12 1-2 וְשָׁלְל֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_26:12!1|MId=o260260120011|Strong=2050b 2 שָׁלְל֣וּ שָׁלַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.will.plunder|Ref=EZK_26:12!1|MId=o260260120012|Strong=7997|Frame=A0:260260070121;A1:260260120021;|Type=weqatal 3-4 חֵילֵ֗ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 חֵיל חַיִל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=wealth|Ref=EZK_26:12!2|MId=o260260120021|Strong=2428 4 ֵ֗ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EZK_26:12!2|MId=o260260120022|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 5-6 וּבָֽזְזוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_26:12!3|MId=o260260120031|Strong=2050b 6 בָֽזְזוּ֙ בָּזַז VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.take.as.spoil|Ref=EZK_26:12!3|MId=o260260120032|Strong=0962|Frame=A0:260260070121;A1:260260120041;|Type=weqatal 7-8 רְכֻלָּתֵ֔ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 רְכֻלָּת רְכֻלָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=merchandise|Ref=EZK_26:12!4|MId=o260260120041|Strong=7404 8 ֵ֔ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EZK_26:12!4|MId=o260260120042|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 9-10 וְהָֽרְסוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_26:12!5|MId=o260260120051|Strong=2050b 10 הָֽרְסוּ֙ הָרַס VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.tear.down|Ref=EZK_26:12!5|MId=o260260120052|Strong=2040|Frame=A0:260260070121;A1:260260120061;|Type=weqatal 11-12 חוֹמוֹתַ֔יִךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 חוֹמוֹתַ֔י חוֹמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 10 obj _ Gloss=walls|Ref=EZK_26:12!6|MId=o260260120061|Strong=2346 12 ִךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EZK_26:12!6|MId=o260260120062|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 13-14 וּבָתֵּ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_26:12!7|MId=o260260120071|Strong=2050b 14 בָתֵּ֥י בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 17 obj _ Gloss=the.houses|Ref=EZK_26:12!7|MId=o260260120072|Strong=1004 15-16 חֶמְדָּתֵ֖ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 חֶמְדָּת חֶמְדָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.desire|Ref=EZK_26:12!8|MId=o260260120081|Strong=2532 16 ֵ֖ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EZK_26:12!8|MId=o260260120082|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 17 יִתֹּ֑צוּ נָתַץ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.pull.down|Ref=EZK_26:12!9|MId=o260260120091|Strong=5422|Frame=A0:260260070121;A1:260260120072;|Type=yiqtol 18-20 וַאֲבָנַ֤יִךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_26:12!10|MId=o260260120101|Strong=2050b 19 אֲבָנַ֤י אֶבֶן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 30 obj _ Gloss=stones|Ref=EZK_26:12!10|MId=o260260120102|Strong=0068 20 ִךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EZK_26:12!10|MId=o260260120103|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 21-23 וְעֵצַ֙יִךְ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_26:12!11|MId=o260260120111|Strong=2050b 22 עֵצַ֙י עֵץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 conj _ Gloss=wood(s)|Ref=EZK_26:12!11|MId=o260260120112|Strong=6086 23 ִךְ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EZK_26:12!11|MId=o260260120113|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 24-26 וַֽעֲפָרֵ֔ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_26:12!12|MId=o260260120121|Strong=2050b 25 עֲפָר עָפָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 conj _ Gloss=dust|Ref=EZK_26:12!12|MId=o260260120122|Strong=6083 26 ֵ֔ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EZK_26:12!12|MId=o260260120123|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 27-28 בְּת֥וֹךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=in.[the]|Ref=EZK_26:12!13|MId=o260260120131|Strong=0871a 28 ת֥וֹךְ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 30 obl _ Gloss=midst|Ref=EZK_26:12!13|MId=o260260120132|Strong=8432 29 מַ֖יִם מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].waters|Ref=EZK_26:12!14|MId=o260260120141|Strong=4325 30 יָשִֽׂימוּ שׂים VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.put|Ref=EZK_26:12!15|MId=o260260120151|Strong=7760|Frame=A0:260260070121;A1:260260120102;260260120112;260260120122;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=EZK_26:12!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
