Ezekiel 44:25 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Jonathan, JP --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/EZK.44.25/) [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 44](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/EZK/44/) / 44:25 # Ezekiel 44:25 יְחֶזְקֵאל **Who acts:** children, sister · **What happens:** come, defile, have · **To what, where:** children, husband This is Ezekiel 44:25 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 — children, sister — and what happens in the verse to children, husband, 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. וְאֶל־מֵ֣ת אָדָ֔ם לֹ֥א יָב֖וֹא לְטָמְאָ֑ה כִּ֣י אִם־לְאָ֡ב וּ֠לְאֵם וּלְבֵ֨ן וּלְבַ֜ת לְאָ֗ח וּלְאָח֛וֹת אֲשֶֽׁר־לֹא־הָיְתָ֥ה לְאִ֖ישׁ יִטַּמָּֽאוּ׃ [And they shall come near no dead person to defile themselves; but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.1197/) ## 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:1159 # text = וְאֶל־מֵ֣ת אָדָ֔ם לֹ֥א יָב֖וֹא לְטָמְאָ֑ה כִּ֣י אִם־לְאָ֡ב וּ֠לְאֵם וּלְבֵ֨ן וּלְבַ֜ת לְאָ֗ח וּלְאָח֛וֹת אֲשֶֽׁר־לֹא־הָיְתָ֥ה לְאִ֖ישׁ יִטַּמָּֽאוּ׃ # verse = EZK.44.25 1-2 וְאֶל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_44:25!1|MId=o260440250011|Strong=2050b 2 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_44:25!1|MId=o260440250012|Strong=0413 3 מֵ֣ת מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 6 advcl _ Gloss=dead|Ref=EZK_44:25!2|MId=o260440250021|Strong=4191|Type=participle_active 4 אָדָ֔ם אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=(of).a.person|Ref=EZK_44:25!3|MId=o260440250031|Strong=0120 5 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EZK_44:25!4|MId=o260440250041|Strong=3808|Type=negative 6 יָב֖וֹא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.go|Ref=EZK_44:25!5|MId=o260440250051|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:260440210051;|Type=yiqtol 7-8 לְטָמְאָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_44:25!6|MId=o260440250061|Strong=3807a 8 טָמְאָ֑ה טָמֵא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 6 advcl _ Gloss=become.unclean|Ref=EZK_44:25!6|MId=o260440250062|Strong=2930|Frame=A0:260440210051;|Type=infinitive_construct 9 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ ExtPos=SCONJ 32 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=EZK_44:25!7|MId=o260440250071|Strong=3588 10 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 9 fixed _ Gloss=(if)|Ref=EZK_44:25!8|MId=o260440250081|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 11-12 לְאָ֡ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EZK_44:25!9|MId=o260440250091|Strong=3807a 12 אָ֡ב אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 32 obl _ Gloss=a.father|Ref=EZK_44:25!9|MId=o260440250092|Strong=0001 13-15 וּ֠לְאֵם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וּ֠ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_44:25!10|MId=o260440250101|Strong=2050b 14 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EZK_44:25!10|MId=o260440250102|Strong=3807a 15 אֵם אֵם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 conj _ Gloss=a.mother|Ref=EZK_44:25!10|MId=o260440250103|Strong=0517 16-18 וּלְבֵ֨ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_44:25!11|MId=o260440250111|Strong=2050b 17 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EZK_44:25!11|MId=o260440250112|Strong=3807a 18 בֵ֨ן בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 conj _ Gloss=a.son|Ref=EZK_44:25!11|MId=o260440250113|Strong=1121 19-21 וּלְבַ֜ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_44:25!12|MId=o260440250121|Strong=2050b 20 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EZK_44:25!12|MId=o260440250122|Strong=3807a 21 בַ֜ת בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 conj _ Gloss=a.daughter|Ref=EZK_44:25!12|MId=o260440250123|Strong=1323 22-23 לְאָ֗ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EZK_44:25!13|MId=o260440250131|Strong=3807a 23 אָ֗ח אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 conj _ Gloss=a.brother|Ref=EZK_44:25!13|MId=o260440250132|Strong=0251 24-26 וּלְאָח֛וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_44:25!14|MId=o260440250141|Strong=2050b 25 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EZK_44:25!14|MId=o260440250142|Strong=3807a 26 אָח֛וֹת אָחוֹת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 23 conj _ Gloss=a.sister|Ref=EZK_44:25!14|MId=o260440250143|Strong=0269 27 אֲשֶֽׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 31 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=EZK_44:25!15|MId=o260440250151|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 28 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 31 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EZK_44:25!16|MId=o260440250161|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 29 הָיְתָ֥ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 31 cop _ Gloss=she.has.belonged|Ref=EZK_44:25!17|MId=o260440250171|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:260440250143;|Type=qatal 30-31 לְאִ֖ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_44:25!18|MId=o260440250181|Strong=3807a 31 אִ֖ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 acl:relcl _ Gloss=a.husband|Ref=EZK_44:25!18|MId=o260440250182|Strong=0376 32 יִטַּמָּֽאוּ טָמֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 6 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.make.themselves.unclean|Ref=EZK_44:25!19|MId=o260440250191|Strong=2930|Frame=A0:260440210051;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=EZK_44:25!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** יָבוֹא *he will go* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | טָמְאָה *become unclean* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | הָיְתָה *she has belonged* | qatal · qal | אָחוֹת *a sister* | | | | | יִטַּמָּֽאוּ *they will make themselves unclean* | yiqtol · hithpael | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
