Ezekiel 4:1 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Jonathan, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/EZK.4.1/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Nevi'im](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/) / [Ezekiel](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/EZK/) / [chapter 4](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/EZK/4/) / 4:1 # Ezekiel 4:1 יְחֶזְקֵאל **Who acts:** Thou · **What happens:** take, lay, trace · **To what, where:** tile, thee, city This is Ezekiel 4:1 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Nevi'im — the Prophets). 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 — Thou — and what happens in the verse to tile, thee, city, 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. וְאַתָּ֤ה בֶן־אָדָם֙ קַח־לְךָ֣ לְבֵנָ֔ה וְנָתַתָּ֥ה אוֹתָ֖הּ לְפָנֶ֑יךָ וְחַקּוֹתָ֥ עָלֶ֛יהָ עִ֖יר אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם׃ [Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and trace upon it a city, even Jerusalem;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.69/) ## 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:65 # text = וְאַתָּ֤ה בֶן־אָדָם֙ קַח־לְךָ֣ לְבֵנָ֔ה וְנָתַתָּ֥ה אוֹתָ֖הּ לְפָנֶ֑יךָ וְחַקּוֹתָ֥ עָלֶ֛יהָ עִ֖יר אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם׃ # verse = EZK.4.1 1-2 וְאַתָּ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_4:1!1|MId=o260040010011|Strong=2050b 2 אַתָּ֤ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 5 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=EZK_4:1!1|MId=o260040010012|Strong=0859|Type=personal 3 בֶן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 dislocated _ Gloss=O.son|Ref=EZK_4:1!2|MId=o260040010021|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 4 אָדָם֙ אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.humankind|Ref=EZK_4:1!3|MId=o260040010031|Strong=0120 5 קַח־ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=take|Ref=EZK_4:1!4|MId=o260040010041|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:260040010012;A1:260040010061;|Type=imperative|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 לְךָ֣ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 ל לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=(for|Ref=EZK_4:1!5|MId=o260040010051|Strong=3807a 7 ְךָ֣ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 5 obl _ Gloss=yourself|Ref=EZK_4:1!5|MId=o260040010052|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 8 לְבֵנָ֔ה לְבֵנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 obj _ Gloss=a.brick|Ref=EZK_4:1!6|MId=o260040010061|Strong=3843 9-10 וְנָתַתָּ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_4:1!7|MId=o260040010071|Strong=2050b 10 נָתַתָּ֥ה נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 5 conj _ Gloss=you.will.set|Ref=EZK_4:1!7|MId=o260040010072|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:260040010021;A1:260040010082;|Type=weqatal 11-12 אוֹתָ֖הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=|Ref=EZK_4:1!8|MId=o260040010081|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 12 ָ֖הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=EZK_4:1!8|MId=o260040010082|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 13-15 לְפָנֶ֑יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=EZK_4:1!9|MId=o260040010091|Strong=3807a 14 פָנֶ֑י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 10 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=EZK_4:1!9|MId=o260040010092|Strong=6440 15 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=you|Ref=EZK_4:1!9|MId=o260040010093|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 16-17 וְחַקּוֹתָ֥ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_4:1!10|MId=o260040010101|Strong=2050b 17 חַקּוֹתָ֥ חָקַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 5 conj _ Gloss=you.will.inscribe|Ref=EZK_4:1!10|MId=o260040010102|Strong=2710|Frame=A0:260040010021;A1:260040010121;|Type=weqatal 18-19 עָלֶ֛יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 עָלֶ֛י עַל ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EZK_4:1!11|MId=o260040010111|Strong=5921 19 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=EZK_4:1!11|MId=o260040010112|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 20 עִ֖יר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=a.city|Ref=EZK_4:1!12|MId=o260040010121|Strong=5892 21 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EZK_4:1!13|MId=o260040010131|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 22 יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 20 appos _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=EZK_4:1!14|MId=o260040010141|Strong=3389|SpaceAfter=No 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=EZK_4:1!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | קַח־ *take* | imperative · qal | אַתָּה *you* | לְבֵנָה *a brick* | | | | נָתַתָּה *you will set* | weqatal · qal | בֶן־ *O son* | ָהּ *it* | | | | חַקּוֹתָ *you will inscribe* | weqatal · qal | בֶן־ *O son* | עִיר *a city* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
