# Ezekiel 42:13 יְחֶזְקֵאל

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** chamber, north chambers, priests, door, place · **What happens:** say, be, eat, lay · **To what, where:** holy chambers, holy things · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Ezekiel 42:13 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 — chamber, north chambers, priests, door, place — and what happens in the verse to holy chambers, holy things, 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.

[Then said he unto me: 'The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they are the holy chambers, where the priests that are near unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things; there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal-offering, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering; for the place is holy.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.1137/)

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
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.
