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, LORD, prophets, ye, My — and what happens in the verse to prophets, name, you, 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. כִּ֣י לֹ֤א שְׁלַחְתִּים֙ נְאֻם־יְהוָ֔ה וְהֵ֛ם נִבְּאִ֥ים בִּשְׁמִ֖י לַשָּׁ֑קֶר לְמַ֨עַן הַדִּיחִ֤י אֶתְכֶם֙ וַאֲבַדְתֶּ֔ם אַתֶּ֕ם וְהַנְּבִאִ֖ים הַֽנִּבְּאִ֥ים לָכֶֽם׃ [For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, and they prophesy falsely in My name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.751/) ## 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:663 # text = כִּ֣י לֹ֤א שְׁלַחְתִּים֙ נְאֻם־יְהוָ֔ה וְהֵ֛ם נִבְּאִ֥ים בִּשְׁמִ֖י לַשָּׁ֑קֶר לְמַ֨עַן הַדִּיחִ֤י אֶתְכֶם֙ וַאֲבַדְתֶּ֔ם אַתֶּ֕ם וְהַנְּבִאִ֖ים הַֽנִּבְּאִ֥ים לָכֶֽם׃ # verse = JER.27.15 1 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 3 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JER_27:15!1|MId=o240270150011|Strong=3588 2 לֹ֤א לֹא ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_27:15!2|MId=o240270150021|Strong=3808|Type=negative 3-4 שְׁלַחְתִּים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 שְׁלַחְתִּי שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I|Ref=JER_27:15!3|MId=o240270150031|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:240270110141;A1:240270150032;|Type=qatal 4 ם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 obj _ Gloss=sent.them|Ref=JER_27:15!3|MId=o240270150032|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 5 נְאֻם־ נְאֻם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 parataxis _ Gloss=the.utterance|Ref=JER_27:15!4|MId=o240270150041|Strong=5002|SpaceAfter=No 6 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=JER_27:15!5|MId=o240270150051|Strong=3068 7-8 וְהֵ֛ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_27:15!6|MId=o240270150061|Strong=2050b 8 הֵ֛ם הֵם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=JER_27:15!6|MId=o240270150062|Strong=1992|Type=personal 9 נִבְּאִ֥ים נָבָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur 3 conj _ Gloss=[are].prophesying|Ref=JER_27:15!7|MId=o240270150071|Strong=5012|Frame=A0:240270150062;|Type=participle_active 10-12 בִּשְׁמִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_27:15!8|MId=o240270150081|Strong=0871a 11 שְׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=name|Ref=JER_27:15!8|MId=o240270150082|Strong=8034 12 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=JER_27:15!8|MId=o240270150083|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 13-15 לַשָּׁ֑קֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_27:15!9|MId=o240270150091|Strong=3807a 14 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JER_27:15!9|MId=o240270150091ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 שָּׁ֑קֶר שֶׁקֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=falsehood|Ref=JER_27:15!9|MId=o240270150092|Strong=8267 16 לְמַ֨עַן לְמַעַן SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=so.as|Ref=JER_27:15!10|MId=o240270150101|Strong=4616 17-18 הַדִּיחִ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַדִּיח נָדַח VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 9 advcl _ Gloss=I|Ref=JER_27:15!11|MId=o240270150111|Strong=5080|Frame=AA:240270150112;A0:240270150122;|Type=infinitive_construct 18 ִ֤י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 17 nsubj _ Gloss=to.drive.out|Ref=JER_27:15!11|MId=o240270150112|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 19-20 אֶתְכֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 אֶת אֵת ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=|Ref=JER_27:15!12|MId=o240270150121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 20 ְכֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 17 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_27:15!12|MId=o240270150122|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 21-22 וַאֲבַדְתֶּ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_27:15!13|MId=o240270150131|Strong=2050b 22 אֲבַדְתֶּ֔ם אָבַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 17 conj _ Gloss=you.will.perish|Ref=JER_27:15!13|MId=o240270150132|Strong=0006|Frame=A0:240270150141;240270150153;|Type=weqatal 23 אַתֶּ֕ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 22 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_27:15!14|MId=o240270150141|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 24-26 וְהַנְּבִאִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_27:15!15|MId=o240270150151|Strong=2050b 25 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 26 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_27:15!15|MId=o240270150152|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 26 נְּבִאִ֖ים נָבִיא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 conj _ Gloss=prophets|Ref=JER_27:15!15|MId=o240270150153|Strong=5030 27-28 הַֽנִּבְּאִ֥ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 הַֽ הַ SCONJ _ _ 28 mark _ Gloss=[who|Ref=JER_27:15!16|MId=o240270150161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 נִּבְּאִ֥ים נָבָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur 26 acl:relcl _ Gloss=are].prophesying|Ref=JER_27:15!16|MId=o240270150162|Strong=5012|Frame=A0:240270150153;|Type=participle_active 29-30 לָכֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 ל לְ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_27:15!17|MId=o240270150171|Strong=3807a 30 ָכֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 28 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_27:15!17|MId=o240270150172|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=JER_27:15!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
