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 — and what happens in the verse, 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. וַיֹּ֥אמֶר יְהוָ֖ה אֵלָ֑י אַל־תִּתְפַּלֵּ֛ל בְּעַד־הָעָ֥ם הַזֶּ֖ה לְטוֹבָֽה׃ [And the LORD said unto me: 'Pray not for this people for their good.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.413/) ## 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:356 # text = וַיֹּ֥אמֶר יְהוָ֖ה אֵלָ֑י אַל־תִּתְפַּלֵּ֛ל בְּעַד־הָעָ֥ם הַזֶּ֖ה לְטוֹבָֽה׃ # verse = JER.14.11 1-2 וַיֹּ֥אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_14:11!1|MId=o240140110011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֥אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=JER_14:11!1|MId=o240140110012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:240140110021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JER_14:11!2|MId=o240140110021|Strong=3068 4-5 אֵלָ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אֵל אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_14:11!3|MId=o240140110031|Strong=0413 5 ָ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=JER_14:11!3|MId=o240140110032|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 6 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=JER_14:11!4|MId=o240140110041|Strong=0408|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 7 תִּתְפַּלֵּ֛ל פָּלַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=pray|Ref=JER_14:11!5|MId=o240140110051|Strong=6419|Frame=A0:240140010061;|Type=jussive 8 בְּעַד־ בַּעַד ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=JER_14:11!6|MId=o240140110061|Strong=1157|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 הָעָ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_14:11!7|MId=o240140110071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 עָ֥ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=people|Ref=JER_14:11!7|MId=o240140110072|Strong=5971 11-12 הַזֶּ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JER_14:11!8|MId=o240140110081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 זֶּ֖ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 10 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=JER_14:11!8|MId=o240140110082|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 13-14 לְטוֹבָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=JER_14:11!9|MId=o240140110091|Strong=3807a 14 טוֹבָֽה טוֹבָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=good|Ref=JER_14:11!9|MId=o240140110092|Strong=2896b|Type=adjective 15 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 14 punct _ Ref=JER_14:11!9 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | **not** תִּתְפַּלֵּל *pray* | jussive · hithpael | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
