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 — you, thou — and what happens in the verse to greatness, 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 אֱמֹ֛ר אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֥ה מֶֽלֶךְ־מִצְרַ֖יִם וְאֶל־הֲמוֹנ֑וֹ אֶל־מִ֖י דָּמִ֥יתָ בְגָדְלֶֽךָ׃ ['Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: whom art thou like in thy greatness?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.798/) ## 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:767 # text = בֶּן־אָדָ֕ם אֱמֹ֛ר אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֥ה מֶֽלֶךְ־מִצְרַ֖יִם וְאֶל־הֲמוֹנ֑וֹ אֶל־מִ֖י דָּמִ֥יתָ בְגָדְלֶֽךָ׃ # verse = EZK.31.2 1 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 dislocated _ Gloss=O.son|Ref=EZK_31:2!1|MId=o260310020011|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 2 אָדָ֕ם אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.humankind|Ref=EZK_31:2!2|MId=o260310020021|Strong=0120 3 אֱמֹ֛ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=say|Ref=EZK_31:2!3|MId=o260310020031|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:260310020011;|Type=imperative 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_31:2!4|MId=o260310020041|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 פַּרְעֹ֥ה פַּרְעֹה PROPN _ _ 3 obl _ Gloss=Pharaoh|Ref=EZK_31:2!5|MId=o260310020051|Strong=6547 6 מֶֽלֶךְ־ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 appos _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=EZK_31:2!6|MId=o260310020061|Strong=4428|SpaceAfter=No 7 מִצְרַ֖יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Egypt|Ref=EZK_31:2!7|MId=o260310020071|Strong=4714 8-9 וְאֶל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_31:2!8|MId=o260310020081|Strong=2050b 9 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_31:2!8|MId=o260310020082|Strong=0413 10-11 הֲמוֹנ֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הֲמוֹנ הָמוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 conj _ Gloss=multitude|Ref=EZK_31:2!9|MId=o260310020091|Strong=1995 11 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EZK_31:2!9|MId=o260310020092|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=EZK_31:2!10|MId=o260310020101|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 13 מִ֖י מִי PRON _ PronType=Int 14 obl _ Gloss=whom?|Ref=EZK_31:2!11|MId=o260310020111|Strong=4310|Type=interrogative 14 דָּמִ֥יתָ דָּמָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 3 ccomp _ Gloss=are.you.like|Ref=EZK_31:2!12|MId=o260310020121|Strong=1819|Frame=A0:260310020051;|Type=qatal 15-17 בְגָדְלֶֽךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZK_31:2!13|MId=o260310020131|Strong=0871a 16 גָדְל גֹּדֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=greatness|Ref=EZK_31:2!13|MId=o260310020132|Strong=1433 17 ֶֽךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EZK_31:2!13|MId=o260310020133|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 18 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 17 punct _ Ref=EZK_31:2!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: wh-question - act: ask - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֱמֹר *say* | imperative · qal | בֶּן־ *O son* | | | | | דָּמִיתָ *are you like* | qatal · qal | פַּרְעֹה *Pharaoh* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
