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 — Thou — and what happens in the verse to wife, thee, sons, place, 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. לֹֽא־תִקַּ֥ח לְךָ֖ אִשָּׁ֑ה וְלֹֽא־יִהְי֤וּ לְךָ֙ בָּנִ֣ים וּבָנ֔וֹת בַּמָּק֖וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ [Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.458/) ## 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:390 # text = לֹֽא־תִקַּ֥ח לְךָ֖ אִשָּׁ֑ה וְלֹֽא־יִהְי֤וּ לְךָ֙ בָּנִ֣ים וּבָנ֔וֹת בַּמָּק֖וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ # verse = JER.16.2 1 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_16:2!1|MId=o240160020011|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 2 תִקַּ֥ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.must.take|Ref=JER_16:2!2|MId=o240160020021|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:240140010061;A1:240160020041;|Type=yiqtol 3-4 לְךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 ל לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=JER_16:2!3|MId=o240160020031|Strong=3807a 4 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=yourself|Ref=JER_16:2!3|MId=o240160020032|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 5 אִשָּׁ֑ה אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=a.wife|Ref=JER_16:2!4|MId=o240160020041|Strong=0802 6-7 וְלֹֽא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_16:2!5|MId=o240160020051|Strong=2050b 7 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 10 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_16:2!5|MId=o240160020052|Strong=3808|Type=negative 8 יִהְי֤וּ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 10 cop _ Gloss=they.will.belong|Ref=JER_16:2!6|MId=o240160020061|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:240160020081;240160020092;|Type=yiqtol 9-10 לְךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 ל לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_16:2!7|MId=o240160020071|Strong=3807a 10 ְךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 conj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_16:2!7|MId=o240160020072|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 11 בָּנִ֣ים בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 nsubj _ Gloss=sons|Ref=JER_16:2!8|MId=o240160020081|Strong=1121 12-13 וּבָנ֔וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_16:2!9|MId=o240160020091|Strong=2050b 13 בָנ֔וֹת בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 11 conj _ Gloss=daughters|Ref=JER_16:2!9|MId=o240160020092|Strong=1323 14-16 בַּמָּק֖וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_16:2!10|MId=o240160020101|Strong=0871a 15 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_16:2!10|MId=o240160020101ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 מָּק֖וֹם מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=place|Ref=JER_16:2!10|MId=o240160020102|Strong=4725 17-18 הַזֶּֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JER_16:2!11|MId=o240160020111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 זֶּֽה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 16 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=JER_16:2!11|MId=o240160020112|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 19 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 18 punct _ Ref=JER_16:2!11 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes - indirect: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** תִקַּח *you must take* | yiqtol · qal | | אִשָּׁה *a wife* | | | | יִהְיוּ *they will belong* | yiqtol · qal | בָּנִים *sons* + בָנוֹת *daughters* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
