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 — LORD, men, that — and what happens in the verse to midst, mark, foreheads, abominations, 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. וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֵלָ֔יו עֲבֹר֙ בְּת֣וֹךְ הָעִ֔יר בְּת֖וֹךְ יְרֽוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וְהִתְוִ֨יתָ תָּ֜ו עַל־מִצְח֣וֹת הָאֲנָשִׁ֗ים הַנֶּֽאֱנָחִים֙ וְהַנֶּ֣אֱנָקִ֔ים עַ֚ל כָּל־הַתּ֣וֹעֵב֔וֹת הַֽנַּעֲשׂ֖וֹת בְּתוֹכָֽהּ׃ [And the LORD said unto him: 'Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that are done in the midst thereof.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.170/) ## 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:161 # text = וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֵלָ֔יו עֲבֹר֙ בְּת֣וֹךְ הָעִ֔יר בְּת֖וֹךְ יְרֽוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וְהִתְוִ֨יתָ תָּ֜ו עַל־מִצְח֣וֹת הָאֲנָשִׁ֗ים הַנֶּֽאֱנָחִים֙ וְהַנֶּ֣אֱנָקִ֔ים עַ֚ל כָּל־הַתּ֣וֹעֵב֔וֹת הַֽנַּעֲשׂ֖וֹת בְּתוֹכָֽהּ׃ # verse = EZK.9.4 1-2 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_9:4!1|MId=o260090040011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=EZK_9:4!1|MId=o260090040012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:260090040021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EZK_9:4!2|MId=o260090040021|Strong=3068 4-5 אֵלָ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אֵלָ֔י אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZK_9:4!4|MId=o260090040041|Strong=0413 5 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=EZK_9:4!4|MId=o260090040042|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 6 עֲבֹר֙ עָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=pass|Ref=EZK_9:4!5|MId=o260090040051|Strong=5674|Frame=A0:260090030152;|Type=imperative 7-8 בְּת֣וֹךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZK_9:4!6|MId=o260090040061|Strong=0871a 8 ת֣וֹךְ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=the.midst|Ref=EZK_9:4!6|MId=o260090040062|Strong=8432 9-10 הָעִ֔יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZK_9:4!7|MId=o260090040071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 עִ֔יר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.city|Ref=EZK_9:4!7|MId=o260090040072|Strong=5892 11-12 בְּת֖וֹךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZK_9:4!8|MId=o260090040081|Strong=0871a 12 ת֖וֹךְ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 nmod _ Gloss=the.midst|Ref=EZK_9:4!8|MId=o260090040082|Strong=8432 13 יְרֽוּשָׁלִָ֑ם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Jerusalem|Ref=EZK_9:4!9|MId=o260090040091|Strong=3389 14-15 וְהִתְוִ֨יתָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_9:4!10|MId=o260090040101|Strong=2050b 15 הִתְוִ֨יתָ תָּוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 6 conj _ Gloss=you.will.mark|Ref=EZK_9:4!10|MId=o260090040102|Strong=8427|Frame=AA:260090030152;A0:260090040111;|Type=weqatal 16 תָּ֜ו תָּו NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obj _ Gloss=a.mark|Ref=EZK_9:4!11|MId=o260090040111|Strong=8420 17 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EZK_9:4!12|MId=o260090040121|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 18 מִצְח֣וֹת מֵצַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 obl _ Gloss=the.foreheads|Ref=EZK_9:4!13|MId=o260090040131|Strong=4696 19-20 הָאֲנָשִׁ֗ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EZK_9:4!14|MId=o260090040141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 אֲנָשִׁ֗ים אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=EZK_9:4!14|MId=o260090040142|Strong=0376 21-22 הַנֶּֽאֱנָחִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 22 mark _ Gloss=[who|Ref=EZK_9:4!15|MId=o260090040151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 נֶּֽאֱנָחִים֙ אָנַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur 20 acl:relcl _ Gloss=are].groaning|Ref=EZK_9:4!15|MId=o260090040152|Strong=0584|Frame=A0:260090040142;|Type=participle_passive 23-25 וְהַנֶּ֣אֱנָקִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZK_9:4!16|MId=o260090040161|Strong=2050b 24 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=[who|Ref=EZK_9:4!16|MId=o260090040162|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 נֶּ֣אֱנָקִ֔ים אָנַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur 22 conj _ Gloss=are].groaning|Ref=EZK_9:4!16|MId=o260090040163|Strong=0602|Frame=A0:260090040142;|Type=participle_passive 26 עַ֚ל עַל ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EZK_9:4!17|MId=o260090040171|Strong=5921 27 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=EZK_9:4!18|MId=o260090040181|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 28-29 הַתּ֣וֹעֵב֔וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 29 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EZK_9:4!19|MId=o260090040191|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 29 תּ֣וֹעֵב֔וֹת תּוֹעֵבַה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=abominations|Ref=EZK_9:4!19|MId=o260090040192|Strong=8441 30-31 הַֽנַּעֲשׂ֖וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 הַֽ הַ SCONJ _ _ 31 mark _ Gloss=[which|Ref=EZK_9:4!20|MId=o260090040201|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 31 נַּעֲשׂ֖וֹת עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur 27 acl:relcl _ Gloss=are].done|Ref=EZK_9:4!20|MId=o260090040202|Strong=6213|Frame=A1:260090040192;|Type=participle_passive 32-34 בְּתוֹכָֽהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 33 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EZK_9:4!21|MId=o260090040211|Strong=0871a 33 תוֹכ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 31 obl _ Gloss=the.midst|Ref=EZK_9:4!21|MId=o260090040212|Strong=8432 34 ָֽהּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 33 nmod:poss _ Gloss=of.it|Ref=EZK_9:4!21|MId=o260090040213|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=EZK_9:4!21 ``` ##
