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 — and what happens in the verse to bones, word, LORD, 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. וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלַ֔י הִנָּבֵ֖א עַל־הָעֲצָמ֣וֹת הָאֵ֑לֶּה וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ אֲלֵיהֶ֔ם הָעֲצָמוֹת֙ הַיְבֵשׁ֔וֹת שִׁמְע֖וּ דְּבַר־יְהוָֽה׃ [Then He said unto me: 'Prophesy over these bones, and say unto them: O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD:](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.971/) ## 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:936 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלַ֔י הִנָּבֵ֖א עַל־הָעֲצָמ֣וֹת הָאֵ֑לֶּה וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ אֲלֵיהֶ֔ם הָעֲצָמוֹת֙ הַיְבֵשׁ֔וֹת שִׁמְע֖וּ דְּבַר־יְהוָֽה׃ # verse = EZK.37.4 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_37:4!1|MId=o260370040011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=EZK_37:4!1|MId=o260370040012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:260370010071;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֵלַ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֵל אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_37:4!2|MId=o260370040021|Strong=0413 4 ַ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=EZK_37:4!2|MId=o260370040022|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 5 הִנָּבֵ֖א נָבָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=prophesy|Ref=EZK_37:4!3|MId=o260370040031|Strong=5012|Frame=A0:260010030061;|Type=imperative 6 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_37:4!4|MId=o260370040041|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 7-8 הָעֲצָמ֣וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_37:4!5|MId=o260370040051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 עֲצָמ֣וֹת עֶצֶם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 5 obl _ Gloss=bones|Ref=EZK_37:4!5|MId=o260370040052|Strong=6106 9-10 הָאֵ֑לֶּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=EZK_37:4!6|MId=o260370040061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 אֵ֑לֶּה אֵלֶּה DET _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 8 det _ Gloss=these|Ref=EZK_37:4!6|MId=o260370040062|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 11-12 וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_37:4!7|MId=o260370040071|Strong=2050b 12 אָמַרְתָּ֣ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 5 conj _ Gloss=you.will.say|Ref=EZK_37:4!7|MId=o260370040072|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:260010030061;|Type=weqatal 13-14 אֲלֵיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 אֲלֵי אֶל ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_37:4!8|MId=o260370040081|Strong=0413 14 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=EZK_37:4!8|MId=o260370040082|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 15-16 הָעֲצָמוֹת֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=O|Ref=EZK_37:4!9|MId=o260370040091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 עֲצָמוֹת֙ עֶצֶם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 19 dislocated _ Gloss=bones|Ref=EZK_37:4!9|MId=o260370040092|Strong=6106 17-18 הַיְבֵשׁ֔וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=EZK_37:4!10|MId=o260370040101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 יְבֵשׁ֔וֹת יָבֵשׁ ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 16 amod _ Gloss=dry|Ref=EZK_37:4!10|MId=o260370040102|Strong=3002|Type=adjective 19 שִׁמְע֖וּ שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 12 ccomp _ Gloss=hear|Ref=EZK_37:4!11|MId=o260370040111|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:260370040092;A1:260370040121;|Type=imperative 20 דְּבַר־ דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obj _ Gloss=the.word|Ref=EZK_37:4!12|MId=o260370040121|Strong=1697|SpaceAfter=No 21 יְהוָֽה יהוה PROPN _ _ 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=EZK_37:4!13|MId=o260370040131|Strong=3068|SpaceAfter=No 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=EZK_37:4!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | הִנָּבֵא *prophesy* | imperative · niphal | | | | | | אָמַרְתָּ *you will say* | weqatal · qal | | | | | | שִׁמְעוּ *hear* | imperative · qal | עֲצָמוֹת *bones* | דְּבַר־ *the word* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
