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 — men, many isles, isles — and what happens in the verse to traffickers, mart, thee, 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. בְּנֵ֤י דְדָן֙ רֹֽכְלַ֔יִךְ אִיִּ֥ים רַבִּ֖ים סְחֹרַ֣ת יָדֵ֑ךְ קַרְנ֥וֹת שֵׁן֙ וְהָבְנִ֔ים הֵשִׁ֖יבוּ אֶשְׁכָּרֵֽךְ׃ [The men of Dedan were thy traffickers; many isles were the mart of thy hand; they brought thee as tribute horns of ivory and ebony.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.701/) ## 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:671 # text = בְּנֵ֤י דְדָן֙ רֹֽכְלַ֔יִךְ אִיִּ֥ים רַבִּ֖ים סְחֹרַ֣ת יָדֵ֑ךְ קַרְנ֥וֹת שֵׁן֙ וְהָבְנִ֔ים הֵשִׁ֖יבוּ אֶשְׁכָּרֵֽךְ׃ # verse = EZK.27.15 1 בְּנֵ֤י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 nsubj _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=EZK_27:15!1|MId=o260270150011|Strong=1121 2 דְדָן֙ דְּדָן PROPN _ _ 1 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Dedan|Ref=EZK_27:15!2|MId=o260270150021|Strong=1719 3-4 רֹֽכְלַ֔יִךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 רֹֽכְלַ֔י רָכַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=[were].your|Ref=EZK_27:15!3|MId=o260270150031|Strong=7402|Frame=A0:260270150011;|Type=participle_active 4 ִךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=traders|Ref=EZK_27:15!3|MId=o260270150032|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 5 אִיִּ֥ים אִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 nsubj _ Gloss=islands|Ref=EZK_27:15!4|MId=o260270150041|Strong=0339 6 רַבִּ֖ים רַב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 amod _ Gloss=many|Ref=EZK_27:15!5|MId=o260270150051|Strong=7227|Type=adjective 7 סְחֹרַ֣ת סְחֹרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 parataxis _ Gloss=[were].the.merchandise|Ref=EZK_27:15!6|MId=o260270150061|Strong=5506 8-9 יָדֵ֑ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.hand|Ref=EZK_27:15!7|MId=o260270150071|Strong=3027 9 ֵ֑ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EZK_27:15!7|MId=o260270150072|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 10 קַרְנ֥וֹת קֶרֶן NOUN _ Number=Plur 14 obj _ Gloss=horns|Ref=EZK_27:15!8|MId=o260270150081|Strong=7161 11 שֵׁן֙ שֵׁן NOUN _ Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.ivory|Ref=EZK_27:15!9|MId=o260270150091|Strong=8127 12-13 וְהָבְנִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_27:15!11|MId=o260270150111|Strong=2050b 13 הָבְנִ֔ים הָבְנִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 conj _ Gloss=ebony|Ref=EZK_27:15!11|MId=o260270150112|Strong=1894 14 הֵשִׁ֖יבוּ שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 parataxis _ Gloss=they.brought|Ref=EZK_27:15!12|MId=o260270150121|Strong=7725|Frame=AA:260270150011;260270150041;A0:260270150081;260270150112;|Type=qatal 15-16 אֶשְׁכָּרֵֽךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 אֶשְׁכָּר אֶשְׁכָּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 xcomp _ Gloss=tribute|Ref=EZK_27:15!13|MId=o260270150131|Strong=0814 16 ֵֽךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EZK_27:15!13|MId=o260270150132|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 17 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 16 punct _ Ref=EZK_27:15!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | רֹֽכְלַי *\[were\] your* | participle active · qal | בְּנֵי *the people* | | | | | הֵשִׁיבוּ *they brought* | qatal · hiphil | קַרְנוֹת *horns* + הָבְנִים *ebony* | | | בְּנֵי *the people* + אִיִּים *islands* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
