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 — house, nations, way — and what happens in the verse to own land, house, 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־אָדָ֗ם בֵּ֤ית יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יֹשְׁבִ֣ים עַל־אַדְמָתָ֔ם וַיְטַמְּא֣וּ אוֹתָ֔הּ בְּדַרְכָּ֖ם וּבַעֲלִֽילוֹתָ֑ם כְּטֻמְאַת֙ הַנִּדָּ֔ה הָיְתָ֥ה דַרְכָּ֖ם לְפָנָֽי׃ ['Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their way and by their doings; their way before Me was as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.946/) ## 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:911 # text = בֶּן־אָדָ֗ם בֵּ֤ית יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יֹשְׁבִ֣ים עַל־אַדְמָתָ֔ם וַיְטַמְּא֣וּ אוֹתָ֔הּ בְּדַרְכָּ֖ם וּבַעֲלִֽילוֹתָ֑ם כְּטֻמְאַת֙ הַנִּדָּ֔ה הָיְתָ֥ה דַרְכָּ֖ם לְפָנָֽי׃ # verse = EZK.36.17 1 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 dislocated _ Gloss=O.son|Ref=EZK_36:17!1|MId=o260360170011|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 2 אָדָ֗ם אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.humankind|Ref=EZK_36:17!2|MId=o260360170021|Strong=0120 3 בֵּ֤ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 nsubj _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=EZK_36:17!3|MId=o260360170031|Strong=1004 4 יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=EZK_36:17!4|MId=o260360170041|Strong=3478 5 יֹשְׁבִ֣ים יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=[were].dwelling|Ref=EZK_36:17!5|MId=o260360170051|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:260360170031;|Type=participle_active 6 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EZK_36:17!6|MId=o260360170061|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 7-8 אַדְמָתָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 אַדְמָת אֲדָמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=land|Ref=EZK_36:17!7|MId=o260360170071|Strong=0127 8 ָ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their.own|Ref=EZK_36:17!7|MId=o260360170072|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 9-10 וַיְטַמְּא֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_36:17!8|MId=o260360170081|Strong=2050b 10 יְטַמְּא֣וּ טָמֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=they.made.unclean|Ref=EZK_36:17!8|MId=o260360170082|Strong=2930|Frame=A0:260360170031;A1:260360170092;|Type=wayyiqtol 11-12 אוֹתָ֔הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=|Ref=EZK_36:17!9|MId=o260360170091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 12 ָ֔הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=EZK_36:17!9|MId=o260360170092|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 13-15 בְּדַרְכָּ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=EZK_36:17!10|MId=o260360170101|Strong=0871a 14 דַרְכּ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=conduct|Ref=EZK_36:17!10|MId=o260360170102|Strong=1870 15 ָ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=EZK_36:17!10|MId=o260360170103|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 16-19 וּבַעֲלִֽילוֹתָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_36:17!11|MId=o260360170111|Strong=2050b 17 בַ בְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=EZK_36:17!11|MId=o260360170112|Strong=0871a 18 עֲלִֽילוֹת עֲלִילָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 14 conj _ Gloss=practices|Ref=EZK_36:17!11|MId=o260360170113|Strong=5949 19 ָ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=EZK_36:17!11|MId=o260360170114|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 20-21 כְּטֻמְאַת֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=EZK_36:17!12|MId=o260360170121|Strong=3509a 21 טֻמְאַת֙ טֻמְאָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 28 obl _ Gloss=the.uncleanness|Ref=EZK_36:17!12|MId=o260360170122|Strong=2932 22-23 הַנִּדָּ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=EZK_36:17!13|MId=o260360170131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 נִּדָּ֔ה נִדָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=menstruation|Ref=EZK_36:17!13|MId=o260360170132|Strong=5079 24 הָיְתָ֥ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 28 cop _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=EZK_36:17!14|MId=o260360170141|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:260360170151;|Type=qatal 25-26 דַרְכָּ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 דַרְכּ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 28 nsubj _ Gloss=conduct|Ref=EZK_36:17!15|MId=o260360170151|Strong=1870 26 ָ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=EZK_36:17!15|MId=o260360170152|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 27-29 לְפָנָֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=EZK_36:17!16|MId=o260360170161|Strong=3807a 28 פָנ פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 5 parataxis _ Gloss=|Ref=EZK_36:17!16|MId=o260360170162|Strong=6440 29 ָֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 28 nmod:poss _ Gloss=me|Ref=EZK_36:17!16|MId=o260360170163|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=EZK_36:17!16 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹשְׁבִים *\[were\] dwelling* | participle active · qal | בֵּית *the house* | | | | | יְטַמְּאוּ *they made unclean* | wayyiqtol · piel | בֵּית *the house* | ָהּ *it* | | | | הָיְתָה *it was* | qatal · qal | דַרְכּ *conduct* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
