Ezekiel 21:17 יְחֶזְקֵאל

Who acts: you, sword · What happens: cry, wail, be, thrust down, smite · To what, where: princes, sword

This is Ezekiel 21:17 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 — you, sword — and what happens in the verse to princes, sword, 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.

זְעַ֤ק וְהֵילֵל֙ בֶּן־אָדָ֔ם כִּי־הִיא֙ הָיתָ֣הבְעַמִּ֔י הִ֖יא בְּכָל־נְשִׂיאֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל מְגוּרֵ֤י אֶל־חֶ֙רֶב֙ הָי֣וּ אֶת־עַמִּ֔י לָכֵ֖ן סְפֹ֥ק אֶל־יָרֵֽךְ׃

Cry and wail, son of man; for it is upon My people, it is upon all the princes of Israel; they are thrust down to the sword with My people; smite therefore upon thy thigh.

The 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.

Pragmatics

form: command
act: request
voice: character
speech: speech with no frame
negation: no

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)
זְעַק cry out	imperative · qal	בֶּן־ O son
הֵילֵל wail	imperative · hiphil	בֶּן־ O son
הָיתָה it has come	qatal · qal	הִיא it

MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant. A0 is the one who acts, A1 what the act is done to or is about, A2 a further participant; AA, with a causative verb, the one who makes it happen.

Targum Jonathan

צְוַח וְאַיְלֵיל בַּר אָדָם אֲרֵי הִיא הֲוַת בְּעַמִי הִיא וְכָל רַבְרְבֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל קְטוֹלֵי חַרְבָּא אִתְכַּנְשׁוּ וְאָתוּ עַל עַמִי מִסְחוֹר סְחוֹר בְּכֵן טְפַח עַל יַרְכָא:

Each sentence on its own page, with its tree and pragmatics. A sentence that runs on into the next verse is listed under the verse it begins in.

Cry and wail, son of man; for it is upon My people, it is upon all the princes of Israel; they are thrust down to the sword with My people; smite therefore upon thy thigh.
