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, Thou, that — and what happens in the verse to shepherd, lips, 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. וַאֲנִ֞י לֹא־אַ֣צְתִּי ׀ מֵרֹעֶ֣ה אַחֲרֶ֗יךָ וְי֥וֹם אָנ֛וּשׁ לֹ֥א הִתְאַוֵּ֖יתִי אַתָּ֣ה יָדָ֑עְתָּ מוֹצָ֣א שְׂפָתַ֔י נֹ֥כַח פָּנֶ֖יךָ הָיָֽה׃ [As for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd after Thee; neither have I desired the woeful day; Thou knowest it; that which came out of my lips was manifest before Thee.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.494/) ## 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:425 # text = וַאֲנִ֞י לֹא־אַ֣צְתִּי ׀ מֵרֹעֶ֣ה אַחֲרֶ֗יךָ וְי֥וֹם אָנ֛וּשׁ לֹ֥א הִתְאַוֵּ֖יתִי אַתָּ֣ה יָדָ֑עְתָּ מוֹצָ֣א שְׂפָתַ֔י נֹ֥כַח פָּנֶ֖יךָ הָיָֽה׃ # verse = JER.17.16 1-2 וַאֲנִ֞י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_17:16!1|MId=o240170160011|Strong=2050b 2 אֲנִ֞י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=JER_17:16!1|MId=o240170160012|Strong=0589|Type=personal 3 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_17:16!2|MId=o240170160021|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 4 אַ֣צְתִּי אוּץ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.have.hastened|Ref=JER_17:16!3|MId=o240170160031|Strong=0213|Frame=A0:240170160012;|Type=qatal 5 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 4 punct _ Ref=JER_17:16!3 6-7 מֵרֹעֶ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JER_17:16!4|MId=o240170160041|Strong=4480 7 רֹעֶ֣ה רָעָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 4 advcl _ Gloss=a.shepherd|Ref=JER_17:16!4|MId=o240170160042|Strong=7473|Type=participle_active 8-9 אַחֲרֶ֗יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 אַחֲרֶ֗י אַחַר ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=JER_17:16!5|MId=o240170160051|Strong=0310 9 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_17:16!5|MId=o240170160052|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 10-11 וְי֥וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_17:16!6|MId=o240170160061|Strong=2050b 11 י֥וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=a.day|Ref=JER_17:16!6|MId=o240170160062|Strong=3117 12 אָנ֛וּשׁ אָנוּשׁ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 amod _ Gloss=incurable|Ref=JER_17:16!7|MId=o240170160071|Strong=0605a|Type=adjective 13 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_17:16!8|MId=o240170160081|Strong=3808|Type=negative 14 הִתְאַוֵּ֖יתִי אָוָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 4 conj _ Gloss=I.have.desired|Ref=JER_17:16!9|MId=o240170160091|Strong=0183|Frame=A0:240140010061;A1:240170160062;|Type=qatal 15 אַתָּ֣ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_17:16!10|MId=o240170160101|Strong=0859|Type=personal 16 יָדָ֑עְתָּ יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 4 parataxis _ Gloss=you.know|Ref=JER_17:16!11|MId=o240170160111|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:240170160101;A1:240170160031;240170160091;|Type=qatal 17 מוֹצָ֣א מוֹצָא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 nsubj _ Gloss=the.utterance|Ref=JER_17:16!12|MId=o240170160121|Strong=4161 18-19 שְׂפָתַ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 שְׂפָת שָׂפָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=my.lips|Ref=JER_17:16!13|MId=o240170160131|Strong=8193 19 ַ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=JER_17:16!13|MId=o240170160132|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 20 נֹ֥כַח נֹכַח NOUN _ _ 4 parataxis _ Gloss=in.front.of|Ref=JER_17:16!14|MId=o240170160141|Strong=5227 21-22 פָּנֶ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 פָּנֶ֖י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=face|Ref=JER_17:16!15|MId=o240170160151|Strong=6440 22 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JER_17:16!15|MId=o240170160152|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 23 הָיָֽה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 20 cop _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=JER_17:16!16|MId=o240170160161|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:240170160121;|Type=qatal|SpaceAfter=No 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=JER_17:16!16 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** אַצְתִּי *I have hastened* | qatal · qal | אֲנִי *I* | | | | | **not** הִתְאַוֵּיתִי *I have desired* | qatal · hithpael | | יוֹם *a day* | | | | יָדָעְתָּ *you know* | qatal · qal | אַתָּה *you* | אַצְתִּי *I have hastened* + הִתְאַוֵּיתִי *I have desired* | | | | הָיָֽה *it was* | qatal · qal | מוֹצָא *the utterance* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
