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 — nobles, vessels — and what happens in the verse to lads, pits, water, heads, 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. וְאַדִּ֣רֵיהֶ֔ם שָׁלְח֥וּ צְעִירֵיהֶ֖ם לַמָּ֑יִם בָּ֣אוּ עַל־גֵּבִ֞ים לֹא־מָ֣צְאוּ מַ֗יִם שָׁ֤בוּ כְלֵיהֶם֙ רֵיקָ֔ם בֹּ֥שׁוּ וְהָכְלְמ֖וּ וְחָפ֥וּ רֹאשָֽׁם׃ [And their nobles send their lads for water: they come to the pits, and find no water; their vessels return empty; they are ashamed and confounded, and cover their heads.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.404/) ## 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:348 # text = וְאַדִּ֣רֵיהֶ֔ם שָׁלְח֥וּ צְעִירֵיהֶ֖ם לַמָּ֑יִם בָּ֣אוּ עַל־גֵּבִ֞ים לֹא־מָ֣צְאוּ מַ֗יִם שָׁ֤בוּ כְלֵיהֶם֙ רֵיקָ֔ם בֹּ֥שׁוּ וְהָכְלְמ֖וּ וְחָפ֥וּ רֹאשָֽׁם׃ # verse = JER.14.3 1-3 וְאַדִּ֣רֵיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_14:3!1|MId=o240140030011|Strong=2050b 2 אַדִּ֣רֵי אַדִּיר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 nsubj _ Gloss=their.noble|Ref=JER_14:3!1|MId=o240140030012|Strong=0117|Type=adjective 3 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[ones]|Ref=JER_14:3!1|MId=o240140030013|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 4 שָׁלְח֥וּ שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.have.sent|Ref=JER_14:3!2|MId=o240140030021|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:240140030012;A1:240140030041;|Type=qatal 5-6 צְעִירֵיהֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 צְעִירֵי צָעִיר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 obj _ Gloss=their|Ref=JER_14:3!4|MId=o240140030041|Strong=6810|Type=adjective 6 הֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=servants|Ref=JER_14:3!4|MId=o240140030042|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 7-9 לַמָּ֑יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=JER_14:3!5|MId=o240140030051|Strong=3807a 8 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JER_14:3!5|MId=o240140030051ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 מָּ֑יִם מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 obl _ Gloss=water|Ref=JER_14:3!5|MId=o240140030052|Strong=4325 10 בָּ֣אוּ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=they.have.come|Ref=JER_14:3!6|MId=o240140030061|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:240140030041;|Type=qatal 11 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_14:3!7|MId=o240140030071|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 12 גֵּבִ֞ים גֵּב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 obl _ Gloss=[the].cisterns|Ref=JER_14:3!8|MId=o240140030081|Strong=1356 13 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_14:3!9|MId=o240140030091|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 14 מָ֣צְאוּ מָצָא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=they.have.found|Ref=JER_14:3!10|MId=o240140030101|Strong=4672|Frame=A0:240140030041;A1:240140030111;|Type=qatal 15 מַ֗יִם מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 obj _ Gloss=water|Ref=JER_14:3!11|MId=o240140030111|Strong=4325 16 שָׁ֤בוּ שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=they.have.returned|Ref=JER_14:3!12|MId=o240140030121|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:240140030131;|Type=qatal 17-18 כְלֵיהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 כְלֵי כְּלִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 nsubj _ Gloss=vessels|Ref=JER_14:3!13|MId=o240140030131|Strong=3627 18 הֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JER_14:3!13|MId=o240140030132|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 19 רֵיקָ֔ם רֵיקָם ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=empty|Ref=JER_14:3!14|MId=o240140030141|Strong=7387 20 בֹּ֥שׁוּ בּוֹשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=they.are.ashamed|Ref=JER_14:3!15|MId=o240140030151|Strong=0954|Frame=A0:240140030012;240140030041;|Type=qatal 21-22 וְהָכְלְמ֖וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_14:3!16|MId=o240140030161|Strong=2050b 22 הָכְלְמ֖וּ כָּלַם VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HOPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=they.are.humiliated|Ref=JER_14:3!16|MId=o240140030162|Strong=3637|Frame=A0:240140030012;240140030041;|Type=qatal 23-24 וְחָפ֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_14:3!17|MId=o240140030171|Strong=2050b 24 חָפ֥וּ חָפָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=they.have.covered|Ref=JER_14:3!17|MId=o240140030172|Strong=2645|Frame=A0:240140030012;240140030041;A1:240140030181;|Type=qatal 25-26 רֹאשָֽׁם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 רֹאשׁ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 obj _ Gloss=head|Ref=JER_14:3!18|MId=o240140030181|Strong=7218 26 ָֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JER_14:3!18|MId=o240140030182|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=JER_14:3!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
