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 — heavens, Thou, we — and what happens in the verse to rain, showers, things, 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. הֲיֵ֨שׁ בְּהַבְלֵ֤י הַגּוֹיִם֙ מַגְשִׁמִ֔ים וְאִם־הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם יִתְּנ֣וּ רְבִבִ֑ים הֲלֹ֨א אַתָּה־ה֜וּא יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהֵ֙ינוּ֙ וּ֨נְקַוֶּה־לָּ֔ךְ כִּֽי־אַתָּ֥ה עָשִׂ֖יתָ אֶת־כָּל־אֵֽלֶּה׃פ [Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.429/) [Art not Thou He, O LORD our God, and do we not wait for Thee?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.430/) [For Thou hast made all these things.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.431/) ## 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:367 # text = הֲיֵ֨שׁ בְּהַבְלֵ֤י הַגּוֹיִם֙ מַגְשִׁמִ֔ים וְאִם־הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם יִתְּנ֣וּ רְבִבִ֑ים הֲלֹ֨א אַתָּה־ה֜וּא יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהֵ֙ינוּ֙ וּ֨נְקַוֶּה־לָּ֔ךְ כִּֽי־אַתָּ֥ה עָשִׂ֖יתָ אֶת־כָּל־אֵֽלֶּה׃פ # verse = JER.14.22 1-2 הֲיֵ֨שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=[are]|Ref=JER_14:22!1|MId=o240140220011|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 2 יֵ֨שׁ יֵשׁ ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=there?|Ref=JER_14:22!1|MId=o240140220012|Strong=3426|Type=demonstrative 3-4 בְּהַבְלֵ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=among|Ref=JER_14:22!2|MId=o240140220021|Strong=0871a 4 הַבְלֵ֤י הֶבֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=the.vanities|Ref=JER_14:22!2|MId=o240140220022|Strong=1892 5-6 הַגּוֹיִם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=JER_14:22!3|MId=o240140220031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 גּוֹיִם֙ גּוֹי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.nations|Ref=JER_14:22!3|MId=o240140220032|Strong=1471 7 מַגְשִׁמִ֔ים גָּשַׁם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=[those.who].send.rain|Ref=JER_14:22!4|MId=o240140220041|Strong=1652|Type=participle_active 8-9 וְאִם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_14:22!5|MId=o240140220051|Strong=2050b 9 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=or?|Ref=JER_14:22!5|MId=o240140220052|Strong=0518 10-11 הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_14:22!6|MId=o240140220061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 שָּׁמַ֖יִם שָׁמַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 nsubj _ Gloss=heavens|Ref=JER_14:22!6|MId=o240140220062|Strong=8064 12 יִתְּנ֣וּ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=do.they.give|Ref=JER_14:22!7|MId=o240140220071|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:240140220062;A1:240140220081;|Type=yiqtol 13 רְבִבִ֑ים רְבִיבִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 obj _ Gloss=showers|Ref=JER_14:22!8|MId=o240140220081|Strong=7241 14-15 הֲלֹ֨א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 17 advmod _ Gloss=?|Ref=JER_14:22!9|MId=o240140220091|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 15 לֹ֨א לֹא ADV _ _ 17 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_14:22!9|MId=o240140220092|Strong=3808|Type=negative 16 אַתָּה־ אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 17 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_14:22!10|MId=o240140220101|Strong=0859|Type=personal|SpaceAfter=No 17 ה֜וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 parataxis _ Gloss=[is].it|Ref=JER_14:22!11|MId=o240140220111|Strong=1931|Type=personal 18 יְהוָ֤ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 17 parataxis _ Gloss=O.Yahweh|Ref=JER_14:22!12|MId=o240140220121|Strong=3068 19-20 אֱלֹהֵ֙ינוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 אֱלֹהֵ֙י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=JER_14:22!13|MId=o240140220131|Strong=0430 20 נוּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=JER_14:22!13|MId=o240140220132|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 21-22 וּ֨נְקַוֶּה־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וּ֨ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_14:22!14|MId=o240140220141|Strong=2050b 22 נְקַוֶּה־ קָוָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=we.wait.eagerly|Ref=JER_14:22!14|MId=o240140220142|Strong=6960|Frame=A0:240140190041;240140190062;240140010061;|Type=yiqtol 23-24 לָּ֔ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 לּ לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=JER_14:22!15|MId=o240140220151|Strong=3807a 24 ָ֔ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 22 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_14:22!15|MId=o240140220152|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 25 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 27 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JER_14:22!16|MId=o240140220161|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 26 אַתָּ֥ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 27 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_14:22!17|MId=o240140220171|Strong=0859|Type=personal 27 עָשִׂ֖יתָ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 parataxis _ Gloss=you.have.done|Ref=JER_14:22!18|MId=o240140220181|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:240140220171;A1:240140220211;|Type=qatal 28 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_14:22!19|MId=o240140220191|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 29 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=JER_14:22!20|MId=o240140220201|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 30 אֵֽלֶּה אֵלֶּה DET _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 29 det _ Gloss=these.[things]|Ref=JER_14:22!21|MId=o240140220211|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative|SpaceAfter=No 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=JER_14:22!21|SpaceAfter=No 32 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=JER_14:22!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
