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 — word, king — and what happens in the verse to Pashhur, 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. הַדָּבָ֛ר אֲשֶׁר־הָיָ֥ה אֶֽל־יִרְמְיָ֖הוּ מֵאֵ֣ת יְהוָ֑ה בִּשְׁלֹ֨חַ אֵלָ֜יו הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ צִדְקִיָּ֗הוּ אֶת־פַּשְׁחוּר֙ בֶּן־מַלְכִּיָּ֔ה וְאֶת־צְפַנְיָ֧ה בֶן־מַעֲשֵׂיָ֛ה הַכֹּהֵ֖ן לֵאמֹֽר׃ [The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashhur the son of Malchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying:](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.567/) ## 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:493 # text = הַדָּבָ֛ר אֲשֶׁר־הָיָ֥ה אֶֽל־יִרְמְיָ֖הוּ מֵאֵ֣ת יְהוָ֑ה בִּשְׁלֹ֨חַ אֵלָ֜יו הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ צִדְקִיָּ֗הוּ אֶת־פַּשְׁחוּר֙ בֶּן־מַלְכִּיָּ֔ה וְאֶת־צְפַנְיָ֧ה בֶן־מַעֲשֵׂיָ֛ה הַכֹּהֵ֖ן לֵאמֹֽר׃ # verse = JER.21.1 1-2 הַדָּבָ֛ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 2 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_21:1!1|MId=o240210010011|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 2 דָּבָ֛ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=word|Ref=JER_21:1!1|MId=o240210010012|Strong=1697 3 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 6 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=JER_21:1!2|MId=o240210010021|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 4 הָיָ֥ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 cop _ Gloss=it.came|Ref=JER_21:1!3|MId=o240210010031|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:240210010012;|Type=qatal 5 אֶֽל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_21:1!4|MId=o240210010041|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 6 יִרְמְיָ֖הוּ יִרְמְיָהוּ PROPN _ _ 2 acl:relcl _ Gloss=Jeremiah|Ref=JER_21:1!5|MId=o240210010051|Strong=3414a 7-8 מֵאֵ֣ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JER_21:1!6|MId=o240210010061|Strong=4480 8 אֵ֣ת אֵת ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JER_21:1!6|MId=o240210010062|Strong=0854 9 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 6 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JER_21:1!7|MId=o240210010071|Strong=3068 10-11 בִּשְׁלֹ֨חַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=JER_21:1!8|MId=o240210010081|Strong=0871a 11 שְׁלֹ֨חַ שָׁלַח VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 6 advcl _ Gloss=sent|Ref=JER_21:1!8|MId=o240210010082|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:240210010102;A1:240210010131;240210010171;|Type=infinitive_construct 12-13 אֵלָ֜יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 אֵלָ֜י אֶל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_21:1!9|MId=o240210010091|Strong=0413 13 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=JER_21:1!9|MId=o240210010092|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 14-15 הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_21:1!10|MId=o240210010101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 מֶּ֣לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 nsubj _ Gloss=king|Ref=JER_21:1!10|MId=o240210010102|Strong=4428 16 צִדְקִיָּ֗הוּ צִדְקִיָּהוּ PROPN _ _ 15 appos _ Gloss=Zedekiah|Ref=JER_21:1!11|MId=o240210010111|Strong=6667a 17 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_21:1!12|MId=o240210010121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 18 פַּשְׁחוּר֙ פַּשְׁחוּר PROPN _ _ 11 obj _ Gloss=Pashhur|Ref=JER_21:1!13|MId=o240210010131|Strong=6583 19 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=JER_21:1!14|MId=o240210010141|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 20 מַלְכִּיָּ֔ה מַלְכִּיָּה PROPN _ _ 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Malkijah|Ref=JER_21:1!15|MId=o240210010151|Strong=4441 21-22 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_21:1!16|MId=o240210010161|Strong=2050b 22 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_21:1!16|MId=o240210010162|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 23 צְפַנְיָ֧ה צְפַנְיָה PROPN _ _ 18 conj _ Gloss=Zephaniah|Ref=JER_21:1!17|MId=o240210010171|Strong=6846 24 בֶן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=JER_21:1!18|MId=o240210010181|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 25 מַעֲשֵׂיָ֛ה מַעֲשֵׂיָה PROPN _ _ 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Maaseiah|Ref=JER_21:1!19|MId=o240210010191|Strong=4641 26-27 הַכֹּהֵ֖ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_21:1!20|MId=o240210010201|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 כֹּהֵ֖ן כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 appos _ Gloss=priest|Ref=JER_21:1!20|MId=o240210010202|Strong=3548 28-29 לֵאמֹֽר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 11 ccomp _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=JER_21:1!21|MId=o240210010211|Strong=3807a 29 אמֹֽר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 28 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=JER_21:1!21|MId=o240210010212|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:240210010102;|Type=infinitive_construct 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=JER_21:1!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: a frame; the quote follows - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הָיָה *it came* | qatal · qal | דָּבָר *word* | | | | | שְׁלֹחַ *sent* | infinitive construct · qal | מֶּלֶךְ *king* | פַּשְׁחוּר *Pashhur* + צְפַנְיָה *Zephaniah* | | | | אמֹֽר | infinitive construct · qal | מֶּלֶךְ *king* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
