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 — I, you, prophet — and what happens in the verse to field, slain, city, sword, land, 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. אִם־יָצָ֣אתִי הַשָּׂדֶ֗ה וְהִנֵּה֙ חַלְלֵי־חֶ֔רֶב וְאִם֙ בָּ֣אתִי הָעִ֔יר וְהִנֵּ֖ה תַּחֲלוּאֵ֣י רָעָ֑ב כִּֽי־גַם־נָבִ֧יא גַם־כֹּהֵ֛ן סָחֲר֥וּ אֶל־אֶ֖רֶץ וְלֹ֥א יָדָֽעוּ׃ס [If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword!](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.420/) [And if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine!](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.421/) [For both the prophet and the priest are gone about to a land, and knew it not.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.422/) ## 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:363 # text = אִם־יָצָ֣אתִי הַשָּׂדֶ֗ה וְהִנֵּה֙ חַלְלֵי־חֶ֔רֶב וְאִם֙ בָּ֣אתִי הָעִ֔יר וְהִנֵּ֖ה תַּחֲלוּאֵ֣י רָעָ֑ב כִּֽי־גַם־נָבִ֧יא גַם־כֹּהֵ֛ן סָחֲר֥וּ אֶל־אֶ֖רֶץ וְלֹ֥א יָדָֽעוּ׃ס # verse = JER.14.18 1 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=JER_14:18!1|MId=o240140180011|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 2 יָצָ֣אתִי יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 7 advcl _ Gloss=I.went.out|Ref=JER_14:18!2|MId=o240140180021|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:240140010061;|Type=qatal 3-4 הַשָּׂדֶ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_14:18!3|MId=o240140180031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 שָּׂדֶ֗ה שָׂדֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=field|Ref=JER_14:18!3|MId=o240140180032|Strong=7704 5-6 וְהִנֵּה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_14:18!4|MId=o240140180041|Strong=2050b 6 הִנֵּה֙ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 7 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=JER_14:18!4|MId=o240140180042|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 7 חַלְלֵי־ חָלָל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=[those].slain|Ref=JER_14:18!5|MId=o240140180051|Strong=2491|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 8 חֶ֔רֶב חֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.sword|Ref=JER_14:18!6|MId=o240140180061|Strong=2719 9-10 וְאִם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_14:18!7|MId=o240140180071|Strong=2050b 10 אִם֙ אִם SCONJ _ _ 11 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=JER_14:18!7|MId=o240140180072|Strong=0518 11 בָּ֣אתִי בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 16 advcl _ Gloss=I.went|Ref=JER_14:18!8|MId=o240140180081|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:240140010061;|Type=qatal 12-13 הָעִ֔יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_14:18!9|MId=o240140180091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 עִ֔יר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=city|Ref=JER_14:18!9|MId=o240140180092|Strong=5892 14-15 וְהִנֵּ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_14:18!10|MId=o240140180101|Strong=2050b 15 הִנֵּ֖ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 16 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=JER_14:18!10|MId=o240140180102|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 16 תַּחֲלוּאֵ֣י תַּחֲלֻאִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 conj _ Gloss=diseases|Ref=JER_14:18!11|MId=o240140180111|Strong=8463 17 רָעָ֑ב רָעָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.famine|Ref=JER_14:18!12|MId=o240140180121|Strong=7458 18 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 23 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JER_14:18!13|MId=o240140180131|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 19 גַם־ גַּם ADV _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=both|Ref=JER_14:18!14|MId=o240140180141|Strong=1571|SpaceAfter=No 20 נָבִ֧יא נָבִיא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 nsubj _ Gloss=prophet|Ref=JER_14:18!15|MId=o240140180151|Strong=5030 21 גַם־ גַּם ADV _ _ 22 advmod _ Gloss=as.well.as|Ref=JER_14:18!16|MId=o240140180161|Strong=1571|SpaceAfter=No 22 כֹּהֵ֛ן כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 conj _ Gloss=priest|Ref=JER_14:18!17|MId=o240140180171|Strong=3548 23 סָחֲר֥וּ סָחַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 7 advcl _ Gloss=they.have.gone.about|Ref=JER_14:18!18|MId=o240140180181|Strong=5503|Frame=A0:240140180151;240140180171;|Type=qatal 24 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_14:18!19|MId=o240140180191|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 25 אֶ֖רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 23 obl _ Gloss=a.land|Ref=JER_14:18!20|MId=o240140180201|Strong=0776 26-27 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_14:18!21|MId=o240140180211|Strong=2050b 27 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 28 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_14:18!21|MId=o240140180212|Strong=3808|Type=negative 28 יָדָֽעוּ יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 23 conj _ Gloss=they.know|Ref=JER_14:18!22|MId=o240140180221|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:240140180151;240140180171;|Type=qatal|SpaceAfter=No 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=JER_14:18!22|SpaceAfter=No 30 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=JER_14:18!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָצָאתִי *I went out* | qatal · qal | | | | | | בָּאתִי *I went* | qatal · qal | | | | | | סָחֲרוּ *they have gone about* | qatal · qal | נָבִיא *prophet* + כֹּהֵן *priest* | | | | | **not** יָדָֽעוּ *they know* | qatal · qal | נָבִיא *prophet* + כֹּהֵן *priest* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
