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 — seventy men, Jaazaniah, thick cloud — and what happens in the verse to midst, incense, 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. וְשִׁבְעִ֣ים אִ֣ישׁ מִזִּקְנֵ֣י בֵֽית־יִ֠שְׂרָאֵל וְיַאֲזַנְיָ֨הוּ בֶן־שָׁפָ֜ן עֹמֵ֤ד בְּתוֹכָם֙ עֹמְדִ֣ים לִפְנֵיהֶ֔ם וְאִ֥ישׁ מִקְטַרְתּ֖וֹ בְּיָד֑וֹ וַעֲתַ֥ר עֲנַֽן־הַקְּטֹ֖רֶת עֹלֶֽה׃ [And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, every man with his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.157/) ## 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:150 # text = וְשִׁבְעִ֣ים אִ֣ישׁ מִזִּקְנֵ֣י בֵֽית־יִ֠שְׂרָאֵל וְיַאֲזַנְיָ֨הוּ בֶן־שָׁפָ֜ן עֹמֵ֤ד בְּתוֹכָם֙ עֹמְדִ֣ים לִפְנֵיהֶ֔ם וְאִ֥ישׁ מִקְטַרְתּ֖וֹ בְּיָד֑וֹ וַעֲתַ֥ר עֲנַֽן־הַקְּטֹ֖רֶת עֹלֶֽה׃ # verse = EZK.8.11 1-2 וְשִׁבְעִ֣ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_8:11!1|MId=o260080110011|Strong=2050b 2 שִׁבְעִ֣ים שֶׁבַע NUM _ Number=Plur 3 nummod _ Gloss=seventy|Ref=EZK_8:11!1|MId=o260080110012|Strong=7657|Type=cardinal_number 3 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 dislocated _ Gloss=man|Ref=EZK_8:11!2|MId=o260080110021|Strong=0376 4-5 מִזִּקְנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZK_8:11!3|MId=o260080110031|Strong=4480 5 זִּקְנֵ֣י זָקֵן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 nmod _ Gloss=the.elders|Ref=EZK_8:11!3|MId=o260080110032|Strong=2205|Type=adjective 6 בֵֽית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.house|Ref=EZK_8:11!4|MId=o260080110041|Strong=1004|SpaceAfter=No 7 יִ֠שְׂרָאֵל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=EZK_8:11!5|MId=o260080110051|Strong=3478 8-9 וְיַאֲזַנְיָ֨הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_8:11!6|MId=o260080110061|Strong=2050b 9 יַאֲזַנְיָ֨הוּ יַאֲזַנְיָהוּ PROPN _ _ 12 nsubj _ Gloss=Jaazaniah|Ref=EZK_8:11!6|MId=o260080110062|Strong=2970a 10 בֶן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=EZK_8:11!7|MId=o260080110071|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 11 שָׁפָ֜ן שָׁפָן PROPN _ _ 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Shaphan|Ref=EZK_8:11!8|MId=o260080110081|Strong=8227a 12 עֹמֵ֤ד עָמַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 16 parataxis _ Gloss=[was].standing|Ref=EZK_8:11!9|MId=o260080110091|Strong=5975|Frame=A0:260080110062;|Type=participle_active 13-15 בְּתוֹכָם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=among|Ref=EZK_8:11!10|MId=o260080110101|Strong=0871a 14 תוֹכ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=EZK_8:11!10|MId=o260080110102|Strong=8432 15 ָם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=them|Ref=EZK_8:11!10|MId=o260080110103|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 16 עֹמְדִ֣ים עָמַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=[were].standing|Ref=EZK_8:11!11|MId=o260080110111|Strong=5975|Frame=A0:260080110021;260080110062;|Type=participle_active 17-19 לִפְנֵיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=EZK_8:11!12|MId=o260080110121|Strong=3807a 18 פְנֵי פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 16 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=EZK_8:11!12|MId=o260080110122|Strong=6440 19 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=them|Ref=EZK_8:11!12|MId=o260080110123|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 20-21 וְאִ֥ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_8:11!13|MId=o260080110131|Strong=2050b 21 אִ֥ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 obl _ Gloss=everyone|Ref=EZK_8:11!13|MId=o260080110132|Strong=0376 22-23 מִקְטַרְתּ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 מִקְטַרְתּ מִקְטֶרֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 25 nsubj _ Gloss=censer|Ref=EZK_8:11!14|MId=o260080110141|Strong=4730 23 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EZK_8:11!14|MId=o260080110142|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 24-26 בְּיָד֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=[was].in|Ref=EZK_8:11!15|MId=o260080110151|Strong=0871a 25 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 16 conj _ Gloss=hand|Ref=EZK_8:11!15|MId=o260080110152|Strong=3027 26 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EZK_8:11!15|MId=o260080110153|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 27-28 וַעֲתַ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 32 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_8:11!16|MId=o260080110161|Strong=2050b 28 עֲתַ֥ר עָתָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 32 nsubj _ Gloss=the.fragrance|Ref=EZK_8:11!16|MId=o260080110162|Strong=6282a 29 עֲנַֽן־ עָנָן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.cloud|Ref=EZK_8:11!17|MId=o260080110171|Strong=6051|SpaceAfter=No 30-31 הַקְּטֹ֖רֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 31 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=EZK_8:11!18|MId=o260080110181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 31 קְּטֹ֖רֶת קְטֹרֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 29 compound:smixut _ Gloss=incense|Ref=EZK_8:11!18|MId=o260080110182|Strong=7004 32 עֹלֶֽה עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 16 conj _ Gloss=[was].going.up|Ref=EZK_8:11!19|MId=o260080110191|Strong=5927|Frame=A0:260080110162;|Type=participle_active|SpaceAfter=No 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=EZK_8:11!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
