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 — man, me, waters — and what happens in the verse to thousand cubits, me, waters, 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. בְּצֵאת־הָאִ֥ישׁ קָדִ֖ים וְקָ֣ו בְּיָד֑וֹ וַיָּ֤מָד אֶ֙לֶף֙ בָּֽאַמָּ֔ה וַיַּעֲבִרֵ֥נִי בַמַּ֖יִם מֵ֥י אָפְסָֽיִם׃ [When the man went forth eastward with the line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the ankles.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.1255/) ## 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:1217 # text = בְּצֵאת־הָאִ֥ישׁ קָדִ֖ים וְקָ֣ו בְּיָד֑וֹ וַיָּ֤מָד אֶ֙לֶף֙ בָּֽאַמָּ֔ה וַיַּעֲבִרֵ֥נִי בַמַּ֖יִם מֵ֥י אָפְסָֽיִם׃ # verse = EZK.47.3 1-2 בְּצֵאת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=EZK_47:3!1|MId=o260470030011|Strong=0871a 2 צֵאת־ יָצָא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 12 parataxis _ Gloss=went.out|Ref=EZK_47:3!1|MId=o260470030012|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:260470030022;|Type=infinitive_construct 3-4 הָאִ֥ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_47:3!2|MId=o260470030021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 אִ֥ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=man|Ref=EZK_47:3!2|MId=o260470030022|Strong=0376 5 קָדִ֖ים קָדִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=east|Ref=EZK_47:3!3|MId=o260470030031|Strong=6921 6-7 וְקָ֣ו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_47:3!4|MId=o260470030041|Strong=2050b 7 קָ֣ו קַו NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 nsubj _ Gloss=a.measuring-line|Ref=EZK_47:3!4|MId=o260470030042|Strong=6957 8-10 בְּיָד֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=[was].in|Ref=EZK_47:3!5|MId=o260470030051|Strong=0871a 9 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=hand|Ref=EZK_47:3!5|MId=o260470030052|Strong=3027 10 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EZK_47:3!5|MId=o260470030053|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 11-12 וַיָּ֤מָד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_47:3!6|MId=o260470030061|Strong=2050b 12 יָּ֤מָד מָדַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.measured.out|Ref=EZK_47:3!6|MId=o260470030062|Strong=4058|Frame=A0:260470030022;A1:260470030071;|Type=wayyiqtol 13 אֶ֙לֶף֙ אֶלֶף NUM _ Number=Sing 12 obj _ Gloss=a.thousand|Ref=EZK_47:3!7|MId=o260470030071|Strong=0505|Type=cardinal_number 14-16 בָּֽאַמָּ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בָּֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=EZK_47:3!8|MId=o260470030081|Strong=0871a 15 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_47:3!8|MId=o260470030081ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 אַמָּ֔ה אַמָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=cubit|Ref=EZK_47:3!8|MId=o260470030082|Strong=0520 17-19 וַיַּעֲבִרֵ֥נִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_47:3!9|MId=o260470030091|Strong=2050b 18 יַּעֲבִר עָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 12 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=EZK_47:3!9|MId=o260470030092|Strong=5674|Frame=AA:260470030022;A0:260470030093;|Type=wayyiqtol 19 ֵ֥נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 obj _ Gloss=made.me.pass|Ref=EZK_47:3!9|MId=o260470030093|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 20-22 בַמַּ֖יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בַ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZK_47:3!10|MId=o260470030101|Strong=0871a 21 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_47:3!10|MId=o260470030101ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 מַּ֖יִם מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 obl _ Gloss=waters|Ref=EZK_47:3!10|MId=o260470030102|Strong=4325 23 מֵ֥י מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 22 appos _ Gloss=waters|Ref=EZK_47:3!11|MId=o260470030111|Strong=4325 24 אָפְסָֽיִם אָפְסַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.ankles|Ref=EZK_47:3!12|MId=o260470030121|Strong=0657a|SpaceAfter=No 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=EZK_47:3!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | צֵאת־ *went out* | infinitive construct · qal | אִישׁ *man* | | | | | יָּמָד *he measured out* | wayyiqtol · qal | אִישׁ *man* | אֶלֶף *a thousand* | | | | יַּעֲבִר *he* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | ֵנִי *made me pass* | | | אִישׁ *man* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
