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 — LORD, I, figs — and what happens in the verse, 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. וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֵלַ֗י מָֽה־אַתָּ֤ה רֹאֶה֙ יִרְמְיָ֔הוּ וָאֹמַ֖ר תְּאֵנִ֑ים הַתְּאֵנִ֤ים הַטֹּבוֹת֙ טֹב֣וֹת מְאֹ֔ד וְהָֽרָעוֹת֙ רָע֣וֹת מְאֹ֔ד אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא־תֵאָכַ֖לְנָה מֵרֹֽעַ׃פ [Then said the LORD unto me: 'What seest thou, Jeremiah?'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:JER:579 # text = וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֵלַ֗י מָֽה־אַתָּ֤ה רֹאֶה֙ יִרְמְיָ֔הוּ וָאֹמַ֖ר תְּאֵנִ֑ים הַתְּאֵנִ֤ים הַטֹּבוֹת֙ טֹב֣וֹת מְאֹ֔ד וְהָֽרָעוֹת֙ רָע֣וֹת מְאֹ֔ד אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא־תֵאָכַ֖לְנָה מֵרֹֽעַ׃פ # verse = JER.24.3 1-2 וַיֹּ֨אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_24:3!1|MId=o240240030011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֨אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=JER_24:3!1|MId=o240240030012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:240240030021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יְהוָ֜ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JER_24:3!2|MId=o240240030021|Strong=3068 4-5 אֵלַ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אֵל אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_24:3!3|MId=o240240030031|Strong=0413 5 ַ֗י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=JER_24:3!3|MId=o240240030032|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 6 מָֽה־ מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 8 obj _ Gloss=what?|Ref=JER_24:3!4|MId=o240240030041|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative|SpaceAfter=No 7 אַתָּ֤ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 8 nsubj _ Gloss=[are].you|Ref=JER_24:3!5|MId=o240240030051|Strong=0859|Type=personal 8 רֹאֶה֙ רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=seeing|Ref=JER_24:3!6|MId=o240240030061|Strong=7200|Frame=A1:240240030041;A0:240240030051;|Type=participle_active 9 יִרְמְיָ֔הוּ יִרְמְיָהוּ PROPN _ _ 8 parataxis _ Gloss=O.Jeremiah|Ref=JER_24:3!7|MId=o240240030071|Strong=3414a 10-11 וָאֹמַ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_24:3!8|MId=o240240030081|Strong=2050b 11 אֹמַ֖ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.said|Ref=JER_24:3!8|MId=o240240030082|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:240210030021;|Type=wayyiqtol 12 תְּאֵנִ֑ים תְּאֵנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 11 ccomp _ Gloss=figs|Ref=JER_24:3!9|MId=o240240030091|Strong=8384 13-14 הַתְּאֵנִ֤ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_24:3!10|MId=o240240030101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 תְּאֵנִ֤ים תְּאֵנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 17 nsubj _ Gloss=figs|Ref=JER_24:3!10|MId=o240240030102|Strong=8384 15-16 הַטֹּבוֹת֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JER_24:3!11|MId=o240240030111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 טֹּבוֹת֙ טוֹב ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 14 amod _ Gloss=good|Ref=JER_24:3!11|MId=o240240030112|Strong=2896|Type=adjective 17 טֹב֣וֹת טוֹב ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 12 parataxis _ Gloss=[are].good|Ref=JER_24:3!12|MId=o240240030121|Strong=2896|Type=adjective 18 מְאֹ֔ד מְאֹד ADV _ _ 17 advmod _ Gloss=very|Ref=JER_24:3!13|MId=o240240030131|Strong=3966 19-21 וְהָֽרָעוֹת֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_24:3!14|MId=o240240030141|Strong=2050b 20 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the.bad|Ref=JER_24:3!14|MId=o240240030142|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 רָעוֹת֙ רַע ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 22 nsubj _ Gloss=[figs]|Ref=JER_24:3!14|MId=o240240030143|Strong=7451|Type=adjective 22 רָע֣וֹת רַע ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 17 conj _ Gloss=[are].bad|Ref=JER_24:3!15|MId=o240240030151|Strong=7451|Type=adjective 23 מְאֹ֔ד מְאֹד ADV _ _ 22 advmod _ Gloss=very|Ref=JER_24:3!16|MId=o240240030161|Strong=3966 24 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 26 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=JER_24:3!17|MId=o240240030171|Strong=0834|Type=relative 25 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 26 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_24:3!18|MId=o240240030181|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 26 תֵאָכַ֖לְנָה אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 17 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.be.eaten|Ref=JER_24:3!19|MId=o240240030191|Strong=0398|Frame=A1:240240030143;|Type=yiqtol 27-28 מֵרֹֽעַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JER_24:3!20|MId=o240240030201|Strong=4480 28 רֹֽעַ רֹעַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 obl _ Gloss=badness|Ref=JER_24:3!20|MId=o240240030202|Strong=7455 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=JER_24:3!20|SpaceAfter=No 30 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=JER_24:3!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: wh-question - act: ask - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | רֹאֶה *seeing* | participle active · qal | אַתָּה *\[are\] you* | מָֽה־ *what?* | | | | אֹמַר *I said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | **not** תֵאָכַלְנָה *they will be eaten* | yiqtol · niphal | | רָעוֹת *\[figs\]* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
