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 — cells, posts, length — and what happens in the verse to three, side, fifty cubits, 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. וְתָאָ֗יו שְׁלוֹשָׁ֤ה מִפּוֹ֙ וּשְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה מִפּ֔וֹ וְאֵילָ֤יו וְאֵֽלַמָּיו֙ הָיָ֔ה כְּמִדַּ֖ת הַשַּׁ֣עַר הָרִאשׁ֑וֹן חֲמִשִּׁ֤ים אַמָּה֙ אָרְכּ֔וֹ וְרֹ֕חַב חָמֵ֥שׁ וְעֶשְׂרִ֖ים בָּאַמָּֽה׃ [And the cells thereof were three on this side and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.1069/) ## 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:1033 # text = וְתָאָ֗יו שְׁלוֹשָׁ֤ה מִפּוֹ֙ וּשְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה מִפּ֔וֹ וְאֵילָ֤יו וְאֵֽלַמָּיו֙ הָיָ֔ה כְּמִדַּ֖ת הַשַּׁ֣עַר הָרִאשׁ֑וֹן חֲמִשִּׁ֤ים אַמָּה֙ אָרְכּ֔וֹ וְרֹ֕חַב חָמֵ֥שׁ וְעֶשְׂרִ֖ים בָּאַמָּֽה׃ # verse = EZK.40.21 1-3 וְתָאָ֗יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_40:21!2|MId=o260400210021|Strong=2050b 2 תָאָ֗י תָּא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 dislocated _ Gloss=chambers|Ref=EZK_40:21!2|MId=o260400210022|Strong=8372 3 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=EZK_40:21!2|MId=o260400210023|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 4 שְׁלוֹשָׁ֤ה שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 nsubj _ Gloss=three|Ref=EZK_40:21!3|MId=o260400210031|Strong=7969|Type=cardinal_number 5-6 מִפּוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=EZK_40:21!4|MId=o260400210041|Strong=4480 6 פּוֹ֙ פֹּה ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=here|Ref=EZK_40:21!4|MId=o260400210042|Strong=6311 7-8 וּשְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_40:21!5|MId=o260400210051|Strong=2050b 8 שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 nsubj _ Gloss=three|Ref=EZK_40:21!5|MId=o260400210052|Strong=7969|Type=cardinal_number 9-10 מִפּ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=EZK_40:21!6|MId=o260400210061|Strong=4480 10 פּ֔וֹ פֹּה ADV _ _ 6 conj _ Gloss=here|Ref=EZK_40:21!6|MId=o260400210062|Strong=6311 11-13 וְאֵילָ֤יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_40:21!8|MId=o260400210081|Strong=2050b 12 אֵילָ֤י אַיִל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 nsubj _ Gloss=pillars|Ref=EZK_40:21!8|MId=o260400210082|Strong=0352b 13 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=EZK_40:21!8|MId=o260400210083|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 14-16 וְאֵֽלַמָּיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_40:21!10|MId=o260400210101|Strong=2050b 15 אֵֽלַמָּי אֵילָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 conj _ Gloss=porches|Ref=EZK_40:21!10|MId=o260400210102|Strong=0361 16 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=EZK_40:21!10|MId=o260400210103|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 17 הָיָ֔ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 19 cop _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=EZK_40:21!11|MId=o260400210111|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:260400210082;260400210102;|Type=qatal 18-19 כְּמִדַּ֖ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=EZK_40:21!12|MId=o260400210121|Strong=3509a 19 מִדַּ֖ת מִדָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=the.measurement|Ref=EZK_40:21!12|MId=o260400210122|Strong=4060 20-21 הַשַּׁ֣עַר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZK_40:21!13|MId=o260400210131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 שַּׁ֣עַר שַׁעַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.gate|Ref=EZK_40:21!13|MId=o260400210132|Strong=8179 22-23 הָרִאשׁ֑וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=EZK_40:21!14|MId=o260400210141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 רִאשׁ֑וֹן רִאשׁוֹן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 amod _ Gloss=first|Ref=EZK_40:21!14|MId=o260400210142|Strong=7223|Type=ordinal_number 24 חֲמִשִּׁ֤ים חָמֵשׁ NUM _ Number=Plur 25 nummod _ Gloss=[was].fifty|Ref=EZK_40:21!15|MId=o260400210151|Strong=2572|Type=cardinal_number 25 אַמָּה֙ אַמָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 parataxis _ Gloss=cubit[s]|Ref=EZK_40:21!16|MId=o260400210161|Strong=0520 26-27 אָרְכּ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 אָרְכּ אֹרֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 nsubj _ Gloss=length|Ref=EZK_40:21!17|MId=o260400210171|Strong=0753 27 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=EZK_40:21!17|MId=o260400210172|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 28-29 וְרֹ֕חַב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and.[the]|Ref=EZK_40:21!18|MId=o260400210181|Strong=2050b 29 רֹ֕חַב רֹחַב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 30 nsubj _ Gloss=breadth|Ref=EZK_40:21!18|MId=o260400210182|Strong=7341 30 חָמֵ֥שׁ חָמֵשׁ NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=[was].five|Ref=EZK_40:21!19|MId=o260400210191|Strong=2568|Type=cardinal_number 31-32 וְעֶשְׂרִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 32 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_40:21!20|MId=o260400210201|Strong=2050b 32 עֶשְׂרִ֖ים עֶשְׂרִים NUM _ Number=Plur 30 conj _ Gloss=twenty|Ref=EZK_40:21!20|MId=o260400210202|Strong=6242|Type=cardinal_number 33-35 בָּאַמָּֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 33 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 35 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=EZK_40:21!21|MId=o260400210211|Strong=0871a 34 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 35 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_40:21!21|MId=o260400210211ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 35 אַמָּֽה אַמָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 30 obl _ Gloss=cubit|Ref=EZK_40:21!21|MId=o260400210212|Strong=0520 36 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 35 punct _ Ref=EZK_40:21!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
