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 — Lord GOD, I — and what happens in the verse to sword, man, 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. לָכֵ֗ן כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה הִנְנִ֛י מֵבִ֥יא עָלַ֖יִךְ חָ֑רֶב וְהִכְרַתִּ֥י מִמֵּ֖ךְ אָדָ֥ם וּבְהֵמָֽה׃ [Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and will cut off from thee man and beast.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.757/) ## 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:726 # text = לָכֵ֗ן כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה הִנְנִ֛י מֵבִ֥יא עָלַ֖יִךְ חָ֑רֶב וְהִכְרַתִּ֥י מִמֵּ֖ךְ אָדָ֥ם וּבְהֵמָֽה׃ # verse = EZK.29.8 1-2 לָכֵ֗ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 לָ לָכֵן ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=therefore|Ref=EZK_29:8!1|MId=o260290080011|Strong=3807a 2 כֵ֗ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=|Ref=EZK_29:8!1|MId=o260290080012|Strong=3651 3 כֹּ֤ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=EZK_29:8!2|MId=o260290080021|Strong=3541 4 אָמַר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=EZK_29:8!3|MId=o260290080031|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:260290080041;|Type=qatal 5-6 אֲדֹנָ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 אֲדֹנ אֲדֹנָי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 nsubj _ Gloss=Lord|Ref=EZK_29:8!4|MId=o260290080041|Strong=0136 6 ָ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[the]|Ref=EZK_29:8!4|MId=o260290080042|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 7 יְהוִ֔ה יְהֹוִה PROPN _ _ 5 appos _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EZK_29:8!5|MId=o260290080051|Strong=3069 8-9 הִנְנִ֛י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הִנ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 10 nsubj _ Gloss=here|Ref=EZK_29:8!6|MId=o260290080061|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 9 ְנִ֛י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 8 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=EZK_29:8!6|MId=o260290080062|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 10 מֵבִ֥יא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 4 ccomp _ Gloss=[am].about.to.bring|Ref=EZK_29:8!7|MId=o260290080071|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:260290080062;A0:260290080091;|Type=participle_active 11-12 עָלַ֖יִךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 עָלַ֖י עַל ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EZK_29:8!8|MId=o260290080081|Strong=5921 12 ִךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=EZK_29:8!8|MId=o260290080082|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 13 חָ֑רֶב חֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 obj _ Gloss=a.sword|Ref=EZK_29:8!9|MId=o260290080091|Strong=2719 14-15 וְהִכְרַתִּ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_29:8!10|MId=o260290080101|Strong=2050b 15 הִכְרַתִּ֥י כָּרַת VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 10 conj _ Gloss=I.will.cut.off|Ref=EZK_29:8!10|MId=o260290080102|Strong=3772|Frame=AA:260290080041;A0:260290080121;260290080132;|Type=weqatal 16-17 מִמֵּ֖ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 מִמּ מִן ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=EZK_29:8!11|MId=o260290080111|Strong=4480 17 ֵ֖ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 15 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=EZK_29:8!11|MId=o260290080112|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 18 אָדָ֥ם אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obj _ Gloss=humankind|Ref=EZK_29:8!12|MId=o260290080121|Strong=0120 19-20 וּבְהֵמָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_29:8!13|MId=o260290080131|Strong=2050b 20 בְהֵמָֽה בְּהֵמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 conj _ Gloss=animal[s]|Ref=EZK_29:8!13|MId=o260290080132|Strong=0929 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=EZK_29:8!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָמַר *he says* | qatal · qal | אֲדֹנ *Lord* | | | | | מֵבִיא *\[am\] about to bring* | participle active · hiphil | חָרֶב *a sword* | | | ְנִי *I* | | הִכְרַתִּי *I will cut off* | weqatal · hiphil | אָדָם *humankind* + בְהֵמָֽה *animal\[s\]* | | | אֲדֹנ *Lord* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
