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 — city, appearance — and what happens in the verse to me, gate, 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. וַיָּבֵ֨יא אוֹתִ֜י שָׁ֗מָּה וְהִנֵּה־אִישׁ֙ מַרְאֵ֙הוּ֙ כְּמַרְאֵ֣ה נְחֹ֔שֶׁת וּפְתִיל־פִּשְׁתִּ֥ים בְּיָד֖וֹ וּקְנֵ֣ה הַמִּדָּ֑ה וְה֥וּא עֹמֵ֖ד בַּשָּֽׁעַר׃ [And He brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.1051/) ## 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:1015 # text = וַיָּבֵ֨יא אוֹתִ֜י שָׁ֗מָּה וְהִנֵּה־אִישׁ֙ מַרְאֵ֙הוּ֙ כְּמַרְאֵ֣ה נְחֹ֔שֶׁת וּפְתִיל־פִּשְׁתִּ֥ים בְּיָד֖וֹ וּקְנֵ֣ה הַמִּדָּ֑ה וְה֥וּא עֹמֵ֖ד בַּשָּֽׁעַר׃ # verse = EZK.40.3 1-2 וַיָּבֵ֨יא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_40:3!1|MId=o260400030011|Strong=2050b 2 יָּבֵ֨יא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.brought|Ref=EZK_40:3!1|MId=o260400030012|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:260400010221;A0:260400030022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אוֹתִ֜י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=|Ref=EZK_40:3!2|MId=o260400030021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 4 ִ֜י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 obj _ Gloss=me|Ref=EZK_40:3!2|MId=o260400030022|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 5-6 שָׁ֗מָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 שָׁ֗מּ שָׁם ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_40:3!3|MId=o260400030031|Strong=8033 6 ָה ה X _ _ 5 nmod _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=EZK_40:3!3|MId=o260400030032|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 7-8 וְהִנֵּה־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_40:3!4|MId=o260400030041|Strong=2050b 8 הִנֵּה־ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 9 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=EZK_40:3!4|MId=o260400030042|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 9 אִישׁ֙ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=a.man|Ref=EZK_40:3!5|MId=o260400030051|Strong=0376 10-11 מַרְאֵ֙הוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 מַרְא מַרְאֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 nsubj _ Gloss=appearance|Ref=EZK_40:3!6|MId=o260400030061|Strong=4758 11 ֵ֙הוּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EZK_40:3!6|MId=o260400030062|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12-13 כְּמַרְאֵ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=[was].like.[the]|Ref=EZK_40:3!7|MId=o260400030071|Strong=3509a 13 מַרְאֵ֣ה מַרְאֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 parataxis _ Gloss=appearance|Ref=EZK_40:3!7|MId=o260400030072|Strong=4758 14 נְחֹ֔שֶׁת נְחֹשֶׁת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.bronze|Ref=EZK_40:3!8|MId=o260400030081|Strong=5178 15-16 וּפְתִיל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_40:3!9|MId=o260400030091|Strong=2050b 16 פְתִיל־ פָּתִיל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=a.cord|Ref=EZK_40:3!9|MId=o260400030092|Strong=6616 17 פִּשְׁתִּ֥ים פֵּשֶׁת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.linen(s)|Ref=EZK_40:3!10|MId=o260400030101|Strong=6593 18-20 בְּיָד֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=[was].in|Ref=EZK_40:3!11|MId=o260400030111|Strong=0871a 19 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=hand|Ref=EZK_40:3!11|MId=o260400030112|Strong=3027 20 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EZK_40:3!11|MId=o260400030113|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 21-22 וּקְנֵ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_40:3!12|MId=o260400030121|Strong=2050b 22 קְנֵ֣ה קָנֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 conj _ Gloss=the.reed|Ref=EZK_40:3!12|MId=o260400030122|Strong=7070 23-24 הַמִּדָּ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=EZK_40:3!13|MId=o260400030131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 מִּדָּ֑ה מִדָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=measurement|Ref=EZK_40:3!13|MId=o260400030132|Strong=4060 25-26 וְה֥וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_40:3!14|MId=o260400030141|Strong=2050b 26 ה֥וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 27 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=EZK_40:3!14|MId=o260400030142|Strong=1931|Type=personal 27 עֹמֵ֖ד עָמַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=[was].standing|Ref=EZK_40:3!15|MId=o260400030151|Strong=5975|Frame=A0:260400030142;|Type=participle_active 28-30 בַּשָּֽׁעַר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZK_40:3!16|MId=o260400030161|Strong=0871a 29 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 30 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_40:3!16|MId=o260400030161ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 30 שָּֽׁעַר שַׁעַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 obl _ Gloss=gate|Ref=EZK_40:3!16|MId=o260400030162|Strong=8179 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=EZK_40:3!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָּבֵיא *he brought* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | ִי *me* | | | | | עֹמֵד *\[was\] standing* | participle active · qal | הוּא *he* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
