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 — elders, ships — and what happens in the verse to calkers, thee, merchandise, 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. זִקְנֵ֨י גְבַ֤ל וַחֲכָמֶ֙יהָ֙ הָ֣יוּ בָ֔ךְ מַחֲזִיקֵ֖י בִּדְקֵ֑ךְ כָּל־אֳנִיּ֨וֹת הַיָּ֤ם וּמַלָּֽחֵיהֶם֙ הָ֣יוּ בָ֔ךְ לַעֲרֹ֖ב מַעֲרָבֵֽךְ׃ [The elders of Gebal and the wise men thereof were in thee thy calkers; all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to exchange thy merchandise.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.695/) ## 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:665 # text = זִקְנֵ֨י גְבַ֤ל וַחֲכָמֶ֙יהָ֙ הָ֣יוּ בָ֔ךְ מַחֲזִיקֵ֖י בִּדְקֵ֑ךְ כָּל־אֳנִיּ֨וֹת הַיָּ֤ם וּמַלָּֽחֵיהֶם֙ הָ֣יוּ בָ֔ךְ לַעֲרֹ֖ב מַעֲרָבֵֽךְ׃ # verse = EZK.27.9 1 זִקְנֵ֨י זָקֵן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 nsubj _ Gloss=the.elders|Ref=EZK_27:9!1|MId=o260270090011|Strong=2205|Type=adjective 2 גְבַ֤ל גְּבַל PROPN _ _ 1 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Gebal|Ref=EZK_27:9!2|MId=o260270090021|Strong=1380 3-5 וַחֲכָמֶ֙יהָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_27:9!3|MId=o260270090031|Strong=2050b 4 חֲכָמֶ֙י חָכָם ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 1 conj _ Gloss=its.wise|Ref=EZK_27:9!3|MId=o260270090032|Strong=2450|Type=adjective 5 הָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[people]|Ref=EZK_27:9!3|MId=o260270090033|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 6 הָ֣יוּ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 9 cop _ Gloss=they.were|Ref=EZK_27:9!4|MId=o260270090041|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:260270090011;260270090032;|Type=qatal 7-8 בָ֔ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 ב בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZK_27:9!5|MId=o260270090051|Strong=0871a 8 ָ֔ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 9 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=EZK_27:9!5|MId=o260270090052|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 9 מַחֲזִיקֵ֖י חָזַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=the.repairers|Ref=EZK_27:9!6|MId=o260270090061|Strong=2388|Frame=AA:260270090011;260270090032;A0:260270090071;|Type=participle_active 10-11 בִּדְקֵ֑ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בִּדְק בֶּדֶק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.leak[s]|Ref=EZK_27:9!7|MId=o260270090071|Strong=0919 11 ֵ֑ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EZK_27:9!7|MId=o260270090072|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 12 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 nsubj _ Gloss=all|Ref=EZK_27:9!8|MId=o260270090081|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 13 אֳנִיּ֨וֹת אֳנִיָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.ships|Ref=EZK_27:9!9|MId=o260270090091|Strong=0591 14-15 הַיָּ֤ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZK_27:9!10|MId=o260270090101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 יָּ֤ם יָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.sea|Ref=EZK_27:9!10|MId=o260270090102|Strong=3220 16-18 וּמַלָּֽחֵיהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_27:9!11|MId=o260270090111|Strong=2050b 17 מַלָּֽחֵי מַלָּח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 conj _ Gloss=mariners|Ref=EZK_27:9!11|MId=o260270090112|Strong=4419 18 הֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=EZK_27:9!11|MId=o260270090113|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 19 הָ֣יוּ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 23 cop _ Gloss=they.were|Ref=EZK_27:9!12|MId=o260270090121|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:260270090091;260270090112;|Type=qatal 20-21 בָ֔ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 ב בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZK_27:9!13|MId=o260270090131|Strong=0871a 21 ָ֔ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 23 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=EZK_27:9!13|MId=o260270090132|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 22-23 לַעֲרֹ֖ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_27:9!14|MId=o260270090141|Strong=3807a 23 עֲרֹ֖ב עָרַב VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 9 parataxis _ Gloss=trade|Ref=EZK_27:9!14|MId=o260270090142|Strong=6148|Frame=A0:260270090091;260270090112;A1:260270090151;|Type=infinitive_construct 24-25 מַעֲרָבֵֽךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 מַעֲרָב מַעֲרָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 obj _ Gloss=merchandise|Ref=EZK_27:9!15|MId=o260270090151|Strong=4627 25 ֵֽךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EZK_27:9!15|MId=o260270090152|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=EZK_27:9!15 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הָיוּ *they were* | qatal · qal | זִקְנֵי *the elders* + חֲכָמֶי *its wise* | | | | | מַחֲזִיקֵי *the repairers* | participle active · hiphil | בִּדְק *your leak\[s\]* | | | זִקְנֵי *the elders* + חֲכָמֶי *its wise* | | הָיוּ *they were* | qatal · qal | אֳנִיּוֹת *the ships* + מַלָּֽחֵי *mariners* | | | | | עֲרֹב *trade* | infinitive construct · qal | אֳנִיּוֹת *the ships* + מַלָּֽחֵי *mariners* | מַעֲרָב *merchandise* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
