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, abhorred flesh — and what happens in the verse to soul, mouth, 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. וָאֹמַ֗ר אֲהָהּ֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה הִנֵּ֥ה נַפְשִׁ֖י לֹ֣א מְטֻמָּאָ֑ה וּנְבֵלָ֨ה וּטְרֵפָ֤ה לֹֽא־אָכַ֙לְתִּי֙ מִנְּעוּרַ֣י וְעַד־עַ֔תָּה וְלֹא־בָ֥א בְּפִ֖י בְּשַׂ֥ר פִּגּֽוּל׃ס [Then said I: 'Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted; for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn of beasts; neither came there abhorred flesh into my mouth.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.83/) ## 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:78 # text = וָאֹמַ֗ר אֲהָהּ֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה הִנֵּ֥ה נַפְשִׁ֖י לֹ֣א מְטֻמָּאָ֑ה וּנְבֵלָ֨ה וּטְרֵפָ֤ה לֹֽא־אָכַ֙לְתִּי֙ מִנְּעוּרַ֣י וְעַד־עַ֔תָּה וְלֹא־בָ֥א בְּפִ֖י בְּשַׂ֥ר פִּגּֽוּל׃ס # verse = EZK.4.14 1-2 וָאֹמַ֗ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_4:14!1|MId=o260040140011|Strong=2050b 2 אֹמַ֗ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.said|Ref=EZK_4:14!1|MId=o260040140012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:260010030061;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֲהָהּ֙ אֲהָהּ INTJ _ _ 11 discourse _ Gloss=alas!|Ref=EZK_4:14!2|MId=o260040140021|Strong=0162|Type=interjection 4-5 אֲדֹנָ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אֲדֹנ אֲדֹנָי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 dislocated _ Gloss=Lord|Ref=EZK_4:14!3|MId=o260040140031|Strong=0136 5 ָ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=EZK_4:14!3|MId=o260040140032|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 6 יְהוִ֔ה יְהֹוִה PROPN _ _ 4 appos _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EZK_4:14!4|MId=o260040140041|Strong=3069 7 הִנֵּ֥ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 11 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=EZK_4:14!5|MId=o260040140051|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 8-9 נַפְשִׁ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 נַפְשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 11 nsubj _ Gloss=self|Ref=EZK_4:14!6|MId=o260040140061|Strong=5315 9 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=EZK_4:14!6|MId=o260040140062|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 10 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 11 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EZK_4:14!7|MId=o260040140071|Strong=3808|Type=negative 11 מְטֻמָּאָ֑ה טָמֵא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=PUAL|Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=[has.been].made.unclean|Ref=EZK_4:14!8|MId=o260040140081|Strong=2930|Frame=A1:260040140061;|Type=participle_passive 12-13 וּנְבֵלָ֨ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_4:14!9|MId=o260040140091|Strong=2050b 13 נְבֵלָ֨ה נְבֵלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=a.carcass|Ref=EZK_4:14!9|MId=o260040140092|Strong=5038 14-15 וּטְרֵפָ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_4:14!10|MId=o260040140101|Strong=2050b 15 טְרֵפָ֤ה טְרֵיפָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 conj _ Gloss=a.torn.animal|Ref=EZK_4:14!10|MId=o260040140102|Strong=2966 16 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 17 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EZK_4:14!11|MId=o260040140111|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 17 אָכַ֙לְתִּי֙ אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 11 conj _ Gloss=I.have.eaten|Ref=EZK_4:14!12|MId=o260040140121|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:260010030061;A1:260040140092;260040140102;|Type=qatal 18-20 מִנְּעוּרַ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=since|Ref=EZK_4:14!13|MId=o260040140131|Strong=4480 19 נְּעוּר נְעוּרִים NOUN _ Number=Plur 17 obl _ Gloss=youth(s)|Ref=EZK_4:14!13|MId=o260040140132|Strong=5271 20 ַ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=EZK_4:14!13|MId=o260040140133|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 21-22 וְעַד־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_4:14!14|MId=o260040140141|Strong=2050b 22 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=EZK_4:14!14|MId=o260040140142|Strong=5704 23 עַ֔תָּה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 19 conj _ Gloss=now|Ref=EZK_4:14!15|MId=o260040140151|Strong=6258 24-25 וְלֹא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_4:14!16|MId=o260040140161|Strong=2050b 25 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 26 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EZK_4:14!16|MId=o260040140162|Strong=3808|Type=negative 26 בָ֥א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 11 conj _ Gloss=it.has.gone|Ref=EZK_4:14!17|MId=o260040140171|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:260040140191;|Type=qatal 27-29 בְּפִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZK_4:14!18|MId=o260040140181|Strong=0871a 28 פ פֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 obl _ Gloss=mouth|Ref=EZK_4:14!18|MId=o260040140182|Strong=6310 29 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 28 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=EZK_4:14!18|MId=o260040140183|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 30 בְּשַׂ֥ר בָּשָׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 nsubj _ Gloss=[the].flesh|Ref=EZK_4:14!19|MId=o260040140191|Strong=1320 31 פִּגּֽוּל פִּגּוּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 30 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.unclean.meat|Ref=EZK_4:14!20|MId=o260040140201|Strong=6292|SpaceAfter=No 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=EZK_4:14!20|SpaceAfter=No 33 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=EZK_4:14!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
