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 — I, GOD — and what happens in the verse to one shepherd, weak, shepherd, 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. וַהֲקִמֹתִ֨י עֲלֵיהֶ֜ם רֹעֶ֤ה אֶחָד֙ וְרָעָ֣ה אֶתְהֶ֔ן אֵ֖ת עַבְדִּ֣י דָוִ֑יד ה֚וּא יִרְעֶ֣ה אֹתָ֔ם וְהֽוּא־יִהְיֶ֥ה לָהֶ֖ן לְרֹעֶֽה׃ [And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even My servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.906/) ## 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:871 # text = וַהֲקִמֹתִ֨י עֲלֵיהֶ֜ם רֹעֶ֤ה אֶחָד֙ וְרָעָ֣ה אֶתְהֶ֔ן אֵ֖ת עַבְדִּ֣י דָוִ֑יד ה֚וּא יִרְעֶ֣ה אֹתָ֔ם וְהֽוּא־יִהְיֶ֥ה לָהֶ֖ן לְרֹעֶֽה׃ # verse = EZK.34.23 1-2 וַהֲקִמֹתִ֨י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_34:23!1|MId=o260340230011|Strong=2050b 2 הֲקִמֹתִ֨י קוּם VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.will.raise.up|Ref=EZK_34:23!1|MId=o260340230012|Strong=6965|Frame=AA:260340200041;A0:260340230031;|Type=weqatal 3-4 עֲלֵיהֶ֜ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 עֲלֵי עַל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=EZK_34:23!2|MId=o260340230021|Strong=5921 4 הֶ֜ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=EZK_34:23!2|MId=o260340230022|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 5 רֹעֶ֤ה רָעָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=a.shepherd|Ref=EZK_34:23!3|MId=o260340230031|Strong=7473|Type=participle_active 6 אֶחָד֙ אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 nummod _ Gloss=one|Ref=EZK_34:23!4|MId=o260340230041|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 7-8 וְרָעָ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_34:23!5|MId=o260340230051|Strong=2050b 8 רָעָ֣ה רָעָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.will.shepherd|Ref=EZK_34:23!5|MId=o260340230052|Strong=7462|Frame=A0:260340230031;A1:260340230062;|Type=weqatal 9-10 אֶתְהֶ֔ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 אֶת אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=|Ref=EZK_34:23!6|MId=o260340230061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 10 ְהֶ֔ן הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=EZK_34:23!6|MId=o260340230062|Strong=2004|Type=pronominal 11 אֵ֖ת אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EZK_34:23!7|MId=o260340230071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 12-13 עַבְדִּ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 עַבְדּ עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 parataxis _ Gloss=servant|Ref=EZK_34:23!8|MId=o260340230081|Strong=5650 13 ִ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=EZK_34:23!8|MId=o260340230082|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 14 דָוִ֑יד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 12 appos _ Gloss=David|Ref=EZK_34:23!9|MId=o260340230091|Strong=1732 15 ה֚וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=EZK_34:23!10|MId=o260340230101|Strong=1931|Type=personal 16 יִרְעֶ֣ה רָעָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.shepherd|Ref=EZK_34:23!11|MId=o260340230111|Strong=7462|Frame=A0:260340230101;A1:260340230122;|Type=yiqtol 17-18 אֹתָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=|Ref=EZK_34:23!12|MId=o260340230121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 18 ָ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=EZK_34:23!12|MId=o260340230122|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 19-20 וְהֽוּא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_34:23!13|MId=o260340230131|Strong=2050b 20 הֽוּא־ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=EZK_34:23!13|MId=o260340230132|Strong=1931|Type=personal 21 יִהְיֶ֥ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 25 cop _ Gloss=he.will.become|Ref=EZK_34:23!14|MId=o260340230141|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:260340230132;|Type=yiqtol 22-23 לָהֶ֖ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 ל לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EZK_34:23!15|MId=o260340230151|Strong=3807a 23 ָהֶ֖ן הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=EZK_34:23!15|MId=o260340230152|Strong=2004|Type=pronominal 24-25 לְרֹעֶֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=(into).a|Ref=EZK_34:23!16|MId=o260340230161|Strong=3807a 25 רֹעֶֽה רָעָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 16 conj _ Gloss=shepherd|Ref=EZK_34:23!16|MId=o260340230162|Strong=7473|Type=participle_active 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=EZK_34:23!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: promise - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הֲקִמֹתִי *I will raise up* | weqatal · hiphil | רֹעֶה *a shepherd* | | | | | רָעָה *he will shepherd* | weqatal · qal | רֹעֶה *a shepherd* | ְהֶן *them* | | | | יִרְעֶה *he will shepherd* | yiqtol · qal | הוּא *he* | ָם *them* | | | | יִהְיֶה *he will become* | yiqtol · qal | הֽוּא־ *he* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
