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, LORD, fishers, children — and what happens in the verse to children, fishers, mountain, 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. הִנְנִ֨י שֹׁלֵ֜חַ לְדַיָּגִ֥ים רַבִּ֛ים נְאֻם־יְהוָ֖ה וְדִיג֑וּם וְאַֽחֲרֵי־כֵ֗ן אֶשְׁלַח֙ לְרַבִּ֣ים צַיָּדִ֔ים וְצָד֞וּם מֵעַ֤ל כָּל־הַר֙ וּמֵעַ֣ל כָּל־גִּבְעָ֔ה וּמִנְּקִיקֵ֖י הַסְּלָעִֽים׃ [Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.472/) ## 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:404 # text = הִנְנִ֨י שֹׁלֵ֜חַ לְדַיָּגִ֥ים רַבִּ֛ים נְאֻם־יְהוָ֖ה וְדִיג֑וּם וְאַֽחֲרֵי־כֵ֗ן אֶשְׁלַח֙ לְרַבִּ֣ים צַיָּדִ֔ים וְצָד֞וּם מֵעַ֤ל כָּל־הַר֙ וּמֵעַ֣ל כָּל־גִּבְעָ֔ה וּמִנְּקִיקֵ֖י הַסְּלָעִֽים׃ # verse = JER.16.16 1-2 הִנְנִ֨י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 הִנ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 3 nsubj _ Gloss=here|Ref=JER_16:16!1|MId=o240160160011|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 2 ְנִ֨י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 1 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=JER_16:16!1|MId=o240160160012|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 3 שֹׁלֵ֜חַ שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[am].about.to.send|Ref=JER_16:16!2|MId=o240160160021|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:240160160012;|Type=participle_active 4-5 לְדַיָּגִ֥ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=JER_16:16!4|MId=o240160160041|Strong=3807a 5 דַיָּגִ֥ים דַּיָּג NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 obl _ Gloss=fishermen|Ref=JER_16:16!4|MId=o240160160042|Strong=1771 6 רַבִּ֛ים רַב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 amod _ Gloss=many|Ref=JER_16:16!5|MId=o240160160051|Strong=7227|Type=adjective 7 נְאֻם־ נְאֻם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 parataxis _ Gloss=the.utterance|Ref=JER_16:16!6|MId=o240160160061|Strong=5002|SpaceAfter=No 8 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=JER_16:16!7|MId=o240160160071|Strong=3068 9-11 וְדִיג֑וּם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_16:16!8|MId=o240160160081|Strong=2050b 10 דִיג֑וּ דִּיג VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=they|Ref=JER_16:16!8|MId=o240160160082|Strong=1770|Frame=A0:240160160042;A1:240160160083;|Type=weqatal 11 ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=will.fish.them.out|Ref=JER_16:16!8|MId=o240160160083|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 12-13 וְאַֽחֲרֵי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_16:16!9|MId=o240160160091|Strong=2050b 13 אַֽחֲרֵי־ אַחַר ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=JER_16:16!9|MId=o240160160092|Strong=0310 14 כֵ֗ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 15 obl _ Gloss=thus|Ref=JER_16:16!10|MId=o240160160101|Strong=3651 15 אֶשְׁלַח֙ שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 3 conj _ Gloss=I.will.send|Ref=JER_16:16!11|MId=o240160160111|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:240160160071;|Type=yiqtol 16-17 לְרַבִּ֣ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=JER_16:16!12|MId=o240160160121|Strong=3807a 17 רַבִּ֣ים רַב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 amod _ Gloss=many|Ref=JER_16:16!12|MId=o240160160122|Strong=7227|Type=adjective 18 צַיָּדִ֔ים צַיָּד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 obl _ Gloss=hunters|Ref=JER_16:16!13|MId=o240160160131|Strong=6719 19-21 וְצָד֞וּם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_16:16!14|MId=o240160160141|Strong=2050b 20 צָד֞וּ צוּד VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=they|Ref=JER_16:16!14|MId=o240160160142|Strong=6679|Frame=A0:240160160131;A1:240160160143;|Type=weqatal 21 ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 obj _ Gloss=will.hunt.them|Ref=JER_16:16!14|MId=o240160160143|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 22-23 מֵעַ֤ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JER_16:16!15|MId=o240160160151|Strong=4480 23 עַ֤ל עַל ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JER_16:16!15|MId=o240160160152|Strong=5921 24 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=every|Ref=JER_16:16!16|MId=o240160160161|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 25 הַר֙ הַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=mountain|Ref=JER_16:16!17|MId=o240160160171|Strong=2022 26-28 וּמֵעַ֣ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_16:16!18|MId=o240160160181|Strong=2050b 27 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JER_16:16!18|MId=o240160160182|Strong=4480 28 עַ֣ל עַל ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JER_16:16!18|MId=o240160160183|Strong=5921 29 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 conj _ Gloss=every|Ref=JER_16:16!19|MId=o240160160191|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 30 גִּבְעָ֔ה גִּבְעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 29 compound:smixut _ Gloss=hill|Ref=JER_16:16!20|MId=o240160160201|Strong=1389 31-33 וּמִנְּקִיקֵ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 33 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_16:16!21|MId=o240160160211|Strong=2050b 32 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 33 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JER_16:16!21|MId=o240160160212|Strong=4480 33 נְּקִיקֵ֖י נָקִיק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 24 conj _ Gloss=the.clefts|Ref=JER_16:16!21|MId=o240160160213|Strong=5357 34-35 הַסְּלָעִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 34 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 35 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=JER_16:16!22|MId=o240160160221|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 35 סְּלָעִֽים סֶלַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 33 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.rocks|Ref=JER_16:16!22|MId=o240160160222|Strong=5553 36 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 35 punct _ Ref=JER_16:16!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
