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 — I — and what happens in the verse to evil arrows, you, famine, staff, 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. בְּֽשַׁלְּחִ֡י אֶת־חִצֵּי֩ הָרָעָ֨ב הָרָעִ֤ים בָּהֶם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הָי֣וּ לְמַשְׁחִ֔ית אֲשֶׁר־אֲשַׁלַּ֥ח אוֹתָ֖ם לְשַֽׁחֶתְכֶ֑ם וְרָעָב֙ אֹסֵ֣ף עֲלֵיכֶ֔ם וְשָׁבַרְתִּ֥י לָכֶ֖ם מַטֵּה־לָֽחֶם׃ [when I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you; and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.103/) ## 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:97 # text = בְּֽשַׁלְּחִ֡י אֶת־חִצֵּי֩ הָרָעָ֨ב הָרָעִ֤ים בָּהֶם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הָי֣וּ לְמַשְׁחִ֔ית אֲשֶׁר־אֲשַׁלַּ֥ח אוֹתָ֖ם לְשַֽׁחֶתְכֶ֑ם וְרָעָב֙ אֹסֵ֣ף עֲלֵיכֶ֔ם וְשָׁבַרְתִּ֥י לָכֶ֖ם מַטֵּה־לָֽחֶם׃ # verse = EZK.5.16 1-3 בְּֽשַׁלְּחִ֡י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 בְּֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=EZK_5:16!1|MId=o260050160011|Strong=0871a 2 שַׁלְּח שָׁלַח VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 25 dislocated _ Gloss=shoot|Ref=EZK_5:16!1|MId=o260050160012|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:260050160013;A1:260050160031;|Type=infinitive_construct 3 ִ֡י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=EZK_5:16!1|MId=o260050160013|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EZK_5:16!2|MId=o260050160021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5 חִצֵּי֩ חֵץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obj _ Gloss=the.arrows|Ref=EZK_5:16!3|MId=o260050160031|Strong=2671 6-7 הָרָעָ֨ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=EZK_5:16!4|MId=o260050160041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 רָעָ֨ב רָעָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=famine|Ref=EZK_5:16!4|MId=o260050160042|Strong=7458 8-9 הָרָעִ֤ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=EZK_5:16!5|MId=o260050160051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 רָעִ֤ים רַע ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 amod _ Gloss=harmful|Ref=EZK_5:16!5|MId=o260050160052|Strong=7451|Type=adjective 10-11 בָּהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EZK_5:16!6|MId=o260050160061|Strong=0871a 11 ָהֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=EZK_5:16!6|MId=o260050160062|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 12 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 15 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=EZK_5:16!7|MId=o260050160071|Strong=0834|Type=relative 13 הָי֣וּ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 15 cop _ Gloss=they.will.be|Ref=EZK_5:16!8|MId=o260050160081|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:260050160031;|Type=qatal 14-15 לְמַשְׁחִ֔ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EZK_5:16!9|MId=o260050160091|Strong=3807a 15 מַשְׁחִ֔ית מַשְׁחִית NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 acl:relcl _ Gloss=destruction|Ref=EZK_5:16!9|MId=o260050160092|Strong=4889 16 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=EZK_5:16!10|MId=o260050160101|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 17 אֲשַׁלַּ֥ח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 5 acl:relcl _ Gloss=I.will.shoot|Ref=EZK_5:16!11|MId=o260050160111|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:260050150171;A1:260050160122;|Type=yiqtol 18-19 אוֹתָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=|Ref=EZK_5:16!12|MId=o260050160121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 19 ָ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=EZK_5:16!12|MId=o260050160122|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 20-22 לְשַֽׁחֶתְכֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_5:16!13|MId=o260050160131|Strong=3807a 21 שַֽׁחֶת שָׁחַת VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 17 advcl _ Gloss=destroy|Ref=EZK_5:16!13|MId=o260050160132|Strong=7843|Frame=A0:260050150171;A1:260050160133;|Type=infinitive_construct 22 ְכֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 21 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=EZK_5:16!13|MId=o260050160133|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 23-24 וְרָעָב֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_5:16!14|MId=o260050160141|Strong=2050b 24 רָעָב֙ רָעָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 obj _ Gloss=famine|Ref=EZK_5:16!14|MId=o260050160142|Strong=7458 25 אֹסֵ֣ף יָסַף VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.will.increase|Ref=EZK_5:16!15|MId=o260050160151|Strong=3254|Frame=AA:260050150171;A0:260050160142;|Type=yiqtol 26-27 עֲלֵיכֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 עֲלֵי עַל ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EZK_5:16!16|MId=o260050160161|Strong=5921 27 כֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=EZK_5:16!16|MId=o260050160162|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 28-29 וְשָׁבַרְתִּ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_5:16!17|MId=o260050160171|Strong=2050b 29 שָׁבַרְתִּ֥י שָׁבַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 25 conj _ Gloss=I.will.break|Ref=EZK_5:16!17|MId=o260050160172|Strong=7665|Frame=A0:260050150171;A1:260050160191;|Type=weqatal 30-31 לָכֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 ל לְ ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=|Ref=EZK_5:16!18|MId=o260050160181|Strong=3807a 31 ָכֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 29 obl _ Gloss=your|Ref=EZK_5:16!18|MId=o260050160182|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 32 מַטֵּה־ מַטֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 29 obj _ Gloss=staff|Ref=EZK_5:16!19|MId=o260050160191|Strong=4294|SpaceAfter=No 33 לָֽחֶם לֶחֶם NOUN _ Number=Sing 32 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.bread|Ref=EZK_5:16!20|MId=o260050160201|Strong=3899|SpaceAfter=No 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=EZK_5:16!20 ``` ##
