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, Thou — and what happens in the verse to life, name, LORD, 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 52 chapters of Jeremiah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. לָכֵ֗ן כֹּֽה־אָמַ֤ר יְהוָה֙ עַל־אַנְשֵׁ֣י עֲנָת֔וֹת הַֽמְבַקְשִׁ֥ים אֶֽת־נַפְשְׁךָ֖ לֵאמֹ֑ר לֹ֤א תִנָּבֵא֙ בְּשֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֔ה וְלֹ֥א תָמ֖וּת בְּיָדֵֽנוּ׃ס [Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying: 'Thou shalt not prophesy in the name of the LORD, that thou die not by our hand';](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.346/) ## 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:JER:299 # text = לָכֵ֗ן כֹּֽה־אָמַ֤ר יְהוָה֙ עַל־אַנְשֵׁ֣י עֲנָת֔וֹת הַֽמְבַקְשִׁ֥ים אֶֽת־נַפְשְׁךָ֖ לֵאמֹ֑ר לֹ֤א תִנָּבֵא֙ בְּשֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֔ה וְלֹ֥א תָמ֖וּת בְּיָדֵֽנוּ׃ס # verse = JER.11.21 1-2 לָכֵ֗ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 לָ לָכֵן ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=therefore|Ref=JER_11:21!1|MId=o240110210011|Strong=3807a 2 כֵ֗ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=|Ref=JER_11:21!1|MId=o240110210012|Strong=3651 3 כֹּֽה־ כֹּה ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=JER_11:21!2|MId=o240110210021|Strong=3541|SpaceAfter=No 4 אָמַ֤ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=JER_11:21!3|MId=o240110210031|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:240110210041;|Type=qatal 5 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 4 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JER_11:21!4|MId=o240110210041|Strong=3068 6 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JER_11:21!5|MId=o240110210051|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 7 אַנְשֵׁ֣י אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 obl _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=JER_11:21!6|MId=o240110210061|Strong=0376 8 עֲנָת֔וֹת עֲנָתוֹת PROPN _ _ 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Anathoth|Ref=JER_11:21!7|MId=o240110210071|Strong=6068a 9-10 הַֽמְבַקְשִׁ֥ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַֽ הַ SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=[who|Ref=JER_11:21!8|MId=o240110210081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 מְבַקְשִׁ֥ים בָּקַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur 7 appos _ Gloss=are].seeking|Ref=JER_11:21!8|MId=o240110210082|Strong=1245|Frame=A0:240110210061;A1:240110210101;|Type=participle_active 11 אֶֽת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_11:21!9|MId=o240110210091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 12-13 נַפְשְׁךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 נַפְשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 10 obj _ Gloss=life|Ref=JER_11:21!10|MId=o240110210101|Strong=5315 13 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JER_11:21!10|MId=o240110210102|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 14-15 לֵאמֹ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 17 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=JER_11:21!11|MId=o240110210111|Strong=3807a 15 אמֹ֑ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 14 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=JER_11:21!11|MId=o240110210112|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:240110210061;A1:240110210131;240110210171;|Type=infinitive_construct 16 לֹ֤א לֹא ADV _ _ 17 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_11:21!12|MId=o240110210121|Strong=3808|Type=negative 17 תִנָּבֵא֙ נָבָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 10 advcl _ Gloss=you.must.prophesy|Ref=JER_11:21!13|MId=o240110210131|Strong=5012|Frame=A0:240110010051;|Type=yiqtol 18-19 בְּשֵׁ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_11:21!14|MId=o240110210141|Strong=0871a 19 שֵׁ֣ם שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=the.name|Ref=JER_11:21!14|MId=o240110210142|Strong=8034 20 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=JER_11:21!15|MId=o240110210151|Strong=3068 21-22 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_11:21!16|MId=o240110210161|Strong=2050b 22 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 23 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_11:21!16|MId=o240110210162|Strong=3808|Type=negative 23 תָמ֖וּת מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 17 conj _ Gloss=you.will.die|Ref=JER_11:21!17|MId=o240110210171|Strong=4191|Frame=A0:240110010051;|Type=yiqtol 24-26 בְּיָדֵֽנוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=JER_11:21!18|MId=o240110210181|Strong=0871a 25 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 23 obl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=JER_11:21!18|MId=o240110210182|Strong=3027 26 ֵֽנוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=JER_11:21!18|MId=o240110210183|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=JER_11:21!18|SpaceAfter=No 28 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=JER_11:21!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - indirect: yes - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָמַר *he says* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | מְבַקְשִׁים *are\] seeking* | participle active · piel | אַנְשֵׁי *the people* | נַפְשׁ *life* | | | | אמֹר | infinitive construct · qal | אַנְשֵׁי *the people* | תִנָּבֵא *you must prophesy* + תָמוּת *you will die* | | | | **not** תִנָּבֵא *you must prophesy* | yiqtol · niphal | | | | | | **not** תָמוּת *you will die* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
