Jeremiah 2:24 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Jonathan, JP --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/JER.2.24/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Nevi'im](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/) / [Jeremiah](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/JER/) / [chapter 2](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/JER/2/) / 2:24 # Jeremiah 2:24 יִרְמְיָהוּ **Who acts:** wild ass, lust, iniquity, gods · **What happens:** use, snuff up, hinder, desire, lust, seek · **To what, where:** wild ass, wind, desire, iniquity, gods This is Jeremiah 2:24 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Nevi'im — the Prophets). 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 — wild ass, lust, iniquity, gods — and what happens in the verse to wild ass, wind, desire, iniquity, gods, 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. פֶּ֣רֶה ׀ לִמֻּ֣ד מִדְבָּ֗ר בְּאַוַּ֤ת נַפְשָׁהּ֙ שָׁאֲפָ֣ה ר֔וּחַ תַּאֲנָתָ֖הּ מִ֣י יְשִׁיבֶ֑נָּה כָּל־מְבַקְשֶׁ֙יהָ֙ לֹ֣א יִיעָ֔פוּ בְּחָדְשָׁ֖הּ יִמְצָאֽוּנְהָ׃ [A wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind in her desire; her lust, who can hinder it?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.47/) [All they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.48/) ## 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:42 # text = פֶּ֣רֶה ׀ לִמֻּ֣ד מִדְבָּ֗ר בְּאַוַּ֤ת נַפְשָׁהּ֙ שָׁאֲפָ֣ה ר֔וּחַ תַּאֲנָתָ֖הּ מִ֣י יְשִׁיבֶ֑נָּה כָּל־מְבַקְשֶׁ֙יהָ֙ לֹ֣א יִיעָ֔פוּ בְּחָדְשָׁ֖הּ יִמְצָאֽוּנְהָ׃ # verse = JER.2.24 1 פֶּ֣רֶה פֶּרֶא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=a.wild.donkey|Ref=JER_2:24!1|MId=o240020240011|Strong=6501 2 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 1 punct _ Ref=JER_2:24!1 3 לִמֻּ֣ד לִמֻּד ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 amod _ Gloss=accustomed.to|Ref=JER_2:24!2|MId=o240020240021|Strong=3928|Type=adjective 4 מִדְבָּ֗ר מִדְבָּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=(of).a.wilderness|Ref=JER_2:24!3|MId=o240020240031|Strong=4057 5-6 בְּאַוַּ֤ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_2:24!4|MId=o240020240041|Strong=0871a 6 אַוַּ֤ת אַוָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=the.desire|Ref=JER_2:24!4|MId=o240020240042|Strong=0185 7-8 נַפְשָׁהּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 נַפְשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=its.self|Ref=JER_2:24!6|MId=o240020240061|Strong=5315 8 ָהּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=JER_2:24!6|MId=o240020240062|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 9 שָׁאֲפָ֣ה שָׁאַף VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=it.pants.for|Ref=JER_2:24!7|MId=o240020240071|Strong=7602|Frame=A0:240020240011;A1:240020240081;|Type=qatal 10 ר֔וּחַ רוּחַ NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 obj _ Gloss=[the].wind|Ref=JER_2:24!8|MId=o240020240081|Strong=7307 11-12 תַּאֲנָתָ֖הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 תַּאֲנָת תַּאֲנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 dislocated _ Gloss=heat|Ref=JER_2:24!9|MId=o240020240091|Strong=8385 12 ָ֖הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=JER_2:24!9|MId=o240020240092|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 13 מִ֣י מִי PRON _ PronType=Int 14 nsubj _ Gloss=who?|Ref=JER_2:24!10|MId=o240020240101|Strong=4310|Type=interrogative 14-15 יְשִׁיבֶ֑נָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 יְשִׁיב שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=will|Ref=JER_2:24!11|MId=o240020240111|Strong=7725|Frame=AA:240020240101;A0:240020240112;|Type=yiqtol 15 ֶ֑נָּה הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 obj _ Gloss=he.turn.it.back|Ref=JER_2:24!11|MId=o240020240112|Strong=5089a|Type=pronominal 16 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 nsubj _ Gloss=all|Ref=JER_2:24!12|MId=o240020240121|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 17-18 מְבַקְשֶׁ֙יהָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 מְבַקְשֶׁ֙י בָּקַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=[those|Ref=JER_2:24!13|MId=o240020240131|Strong=1245|Frame=A1:240020240132;|Type=participle_active 18 הָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=who].seek.it|Ref=JER_2:24!13|MId=o240020240132|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 19 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_2:24!14|MId=o240020240141|Strong=3808|Type=negative 20 יִיעָ֔פוּ יָעֵף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.grow.weary|Ref=JER_2:24!15|MId=o240020240151|Strong=3286|Frame=A0:240020240131;|Type=yiqtol 21-23 בְּחָדְשָׁ֖הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_2:24!16|MId=o240020240161|Strong=0871a 22 חָדְשׁ חֹדֶשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 obl _ Gloss=month|Ref=JER_2:24!16|MId=o240020240162|Strong=2320 23 ָ֖הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=JER_2:24!16|MId=o240020240163|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 24-25 יִמְצָאֽוּנְהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 יִמְצָאֽוּ מָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=they|Ref=JER_2:24!17|MId=o240020240171|Strong=4672|Frame=A0:240020240131;A1:240020240172;|Type=yiqtol 25 נְהָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 obj _ Gloss=will.find.it|Ref=JER_2:24!17|MId=o240020240172|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=JER_2:24!17 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שָׁאֲפָה *it pants for* | qatal · qal | פֶּרֶה *a wild donkey* | רוּחַ *\[the\] wind* | | | | יְשִׁיב *will* | yiqtol · hiphil | ֶנָּה *he turn it back* | | | מִי *who?* | | מְבַקְשֶׁי *\[those* | participle active · piel | | הָ *who\] seek it* | | | | **not** יִיעָפוּ *they will grow weary* | yiqtol · qal | מְבַקְשֶׁי *\[those* | | | | | יִמְצָאֽוּ *they* | yiqtol · qal | מְבַקְשֶׁי *\[those* | נְהָ *will find it* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
