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 — land, I, LORD — and what happens in the verse to seventy years, king, land, 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. וְהָיָ֣ה כִמְלֹ֣אות שִׁבְעִ֣ים שָׁנָ֡ה אֶפְקֹ֣ד עַל־מֶֽלֶךְ־בָּבֶל֩ וְעַל־הַגּ֨וֹי הַה֧וּא נְאֻם־יְהוָ֛ה אֶת־עֲוֺנָ֖ם וְעַל־אֶ֣רֶץ כַּשְׂדִּ֑ים וְשַׂמְתִּ֥י אֹת֖וֹ לְשִֽׁמְמ֥וֹת עוֹלָֽם׃ [And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it perpetual desolations.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.683/) ## 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:598 # text = וְהָיָ֣ה כִמְלֹ֣אות שִׁבְעִ֣ים שָׁנָ֡ה אֶפְקֹ֣ד עַל־מֶֽלֶךְ־בָּבֶל֩ וְעַל־הַגּ֨וֹי הַה֧וּא נְאֻם־יְהוָ֛ה אֶת־עֲוֺנָ֖ם וְעַל־אֶ֣רֶץ כַּשְׂדִּ֑ים וְשַׂמְתִּ֥י אֹת֖וֹ לְשִֽׁמְמ֥וֹת עוֹלָֽם׃ # verse = JER.25.12 1-2 וְהָיָ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_25:12!1|MId=o240250120011|Strong=2050b 2 הָיָ֣ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 cop _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=JER_25:12!1|MId=o240250120012|Strong=1961|Type=weqatal 3-4 כִמְלֹ֣אות _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 כִ כְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=just|Ref=JER_25:12!2|MId=o240250120021|Strong=3509a 4 מְלֹ֣אות מָלֵא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 0 root _ Gloss=as.are.completed|Ref=JER_25:12!2|MId=o240250120022|Strong=4390|Frame=A0:240250120041;|Type=infinitive_construct 5 שִׁבְעִ֣ים שֶׁבַע NUM _ Number=Plur 6 nummod _ Gloss=seventy|Ref=JER_25:12!3|MId=o240250120031|Strong=7657|Type=cardinal_number 6 שָׁנָ֡ה שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 nsubj _ Gloss=year[s]|Ref=JER_25:12!4|MId=o240250120041|Strong=8141 7 אֶפְקֹ֣ד פָּקַד VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 4 parataxis _ Gloss=I.will.visit|Ref=JER_25:12!5|MId=o240250120051|Strong=6485|Frame=A0:240250090091;A1:240250120151;|Type=yiqtol 8 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JER_25:12!6|MId=o240250120061|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 9 מֶֽלֶךְ־ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=JER_25:12!7|MId=o240250120071|Strong=4428|SpaceAfter=No 10 בָּבֶל֩ בָּבֶל PROPN _ _ 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Babylon|Ref=JER_25:12!8|MId=o240250120081|Strong=0894 11-12 וְעַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_25:12!9|MId=o240250120091|Strong=2050b 12 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JER_25:12!9|MId=o240250120092|Strong=5921 13-14 הַגּ֨וֹי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_25:12!10|MId=o240250120101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 גּ֨וֹי גּוֹי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 conj _ Gloss=nation|Ref=JER_25:12!10|MId=o240250120102|Strong=1471 15-16 הַה֧וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JER_25:12!11|MId=o240250120111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 ה֧וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 det _ Gloss=that|Ref=JER_25:12!11|MId=o240250120112|Strong=1931|Type=personal 17 נְאֻם־ נְאֻם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 parataxis _ Gloss=the.utterance|Ref=JER_25:12!12|MId=o240250120121|Strong=5002|SpaceAfter=No 18 יְהוָ֛ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=JER_25:12!13|MId=o240250120131|Strong=3068 19 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_25:12!14|MId=o240250120141|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 20-21 עֲוֺנָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 עֲוֺנ עָוֺן NOUN _ Number=Sing 7 obj _ Gloss=iniquity|Ref=JER_25:12!15|MId=o240250120151|Strong=5771 21 ָ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JER_25:12!15|MId=o240250120152|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 22-23 וְעַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_25:12!16|MId=o240250120161|Strong=2050b 23 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JER_25:12!16|MId=o240250120162|Strong=5921 24 אֶ֣רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 conj _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=JER_25:12!17|MId=o240250120171|Strong=0776 25 כַּשְׂדִּ֑ים כַּשְׂדִּים PROPN _ _ 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].Chaldeans|Ref=JER_25:12!18|MId=o240250120181|Strong=3778 26-27 וְשַׂמְתִּ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_25:12!19|MId=o240250120191|Strong=2050b 27 שַׂמְתִּ֥י שׂים VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 4 conj _ Gloss=I.will.make|Ref=JER_25:12!19|MId=o240250120192|Strong=7760|Frame=A0:240250120131;A1:240250120202;|Type=weqatal 28-29 אֹת֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=|Ref=JER_25:12!20|MId=o240250120201|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 29 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 27 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=JER_25:12!20|MId=o240250120202|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 30-31 לְשִֽׁמְמ֥וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=into|Ref=JER_25:12!21|MId=o240250120211|Strong=3807a 31 שִֽׁמְמ֥וֹת שְׁמָמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 27 obl _ Gloss=desolations|Ref=JER_25:12!21|MId=o240250120212|Strong=8077 32 עוֹלָֽם עוֹלָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 31 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.perpetuity|Ref=JER_25:12!22|MId=o240250120221|Strong=5769|SpaceAfter=No 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=JER_25:12!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
