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 — prophets, word, you, vessels — and what happens in the verse to prophets, intercession, vessels, house, Babylon, LORD, 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. וְאִם־נְבִאִ֣ים הֵ֔ם וְאִם־יֵ֥שׁ דְּבַר־יְהוָ֖ה אִתָּ֑ם יִפְגְּעוּ־נָא֙ בַּֽיהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת לְבִלְתִּי־בֹ֜אוּ הַכֵּלִ֣ים ׀ הַנּוֹתָרִ֣ים בְּבֵית־יְהוָ֗ה וּבֵ֨ית מֶ֧לֶךְ יְהוּדָ֛ה וּבִירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם בָּבֶֽלָה׃פ [But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD be with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.754/) ## 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:666 # text = וְאִם־נְבִאִ֣ים הֵ֔ם וְאִם־יֵ֥שׁ דְּבַר־יְהוָ֖ה אִתָּ֑ם יִפְגְּעוּ־נָא֙ בַּֽיהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת לְבִלְתִּי־בֹ֜אוּ הַכֵּלִ֣ים ׀ הַנּוֹתָרִ֣ים בְּבֵית־יְהוָ֗ה וּבֵ֨ית מֶ֧לֶךְ יְהוּדָ֛ה וּבִירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם בָּבֶֽלָה׃פ # verse = JER.27.18 1-2 וְאִם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_27:18!1|MId=o240270180011|Strong=2050b 2 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 3 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=JER_27:18!1|MId=o240270180012|Strong=0518 3 נְבִאִ֣ים נָבִיא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 parataxis _ Gloss=[are].prophets|Ref=JER_27:18!2|MId=o240270180021|Strong=5030 4 הֵ֔ם הֵם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=JER_27:18!3|MId=o240270180031|Strong=1992|Type=personal 5-6 וְאִם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_27:18!4|MId=o240270180041|Strong=2050b 6 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 7 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=JER_27:18!4|MId=o240270180042|Strong=0518 7 יֵ֥שׁ יֵשׁ ADV _ _ 3 conj _ Gloss=(there)|Ref=JER_27:18!5|MId=o240270180051|Strong=3426|Type=demonstrative 8 דְּבַר־ דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=the.word|Ref=JER_27:18!6|MId=o240270180061|Strong=1697|SpaceAfter=No 9 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=JER_27:18!7|MId=o240270180071|Strong=3068 10-11 אִתָּ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 אִתּ אֵת ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=[is].with|Ref=JER_27:18!8|MId=o240270180081|Strong=0854 11 ָ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=JER_27:18!8|MId=o240270180082|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 12 יִפְגְּעוּ־ פָּגַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 19 parataxis _ Gloss=let.them.entreat|Ref=JER_27:18!9|MId=o240270180091|Strong=6293|Frame=A0:240270160161;|Type=jussive|SpaceAfter=No 13 נָא֙ נָא INTJ _ _ 12 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=JER_27:18!10|MId=o240270180101|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation 14-15 בַּֽיהוָ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בַּֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=JER_27:18!11|MId=o240270180111|Strong=0871a 15 יהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 12 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JER_27:18!11|MId=o240270180112|Strong=3068 16 צְבָא֔וֹת צָבָא NOUN _ Number=Plur 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.hosts|Ref=JER_27:18!12|MId=o240270180121|Strong=6635 17-18 לְבִלְתִּי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_27:18!13|MId=o240270180131|Strong=3807a 18 בִלְתִּי־ בֵּלֶת ADP _ _ 19 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_27:18!13|MId=o240270180132|Strong=1115 19 בֹ֜אוּ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=go|Ref=JER_27:18!14|MId=o240270180141|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:240270180152;|Type=imperative 20-21 הַכֵּלִ֣ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_27:18!15|MId=o240270180151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 כֵּלִ֣ים כְּלִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 nsubj _ Gloss=articles|Ref=JER_27:18!15|MId=o240270180152|Strong=3627 22 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=JER_27:18!15 23-24 הַנּוֹתָרִ֣ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 24 mark _ Gloss=[which]|Ref=JER_27:18!16|MId=o240270180161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 נּוֹתָרִ֣ים יָתַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur 21 acl:relcl _ Gloss=remain|Ref=JER_27:18!16|MId=o240270180162|Strong=3498|Frame=A1:240270180152;|Type=participle_active 25-26 בְּבֵית־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_27:18!17|MId=o240270180171|Strong=0871a 26 בֵית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 obl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=JER_27:18!17|MId=o240270180172|Strong=1004 27 יְהוָ֗ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 26 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=JER_27:18!18|MId=o240270180181|Strong=3068 28-29 וּבֵ֨ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_27:18!19|MId=o240270180191|Strong=2050b 29 בֵ֨ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 conj _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=JER_27:18!19|MId=o240270180192|Strong=1004 30 מֶ֧לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 29 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.king|Ref=JER_27:18!20|MId=o240270180201|Strong=4428 31 יְהוּדָ֛ה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 30 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Judah|Ref=JER_27:18!21|MId=o240270180211|Strong=3063 32-34 וּבִירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 34 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_27:18!22|MId=o240270180221|Strong=2050b 33 בִ בְּ ADP _ _ 34 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_27:18!22|MId=o240270180222|Strong=0871a 34 ירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 26 conj _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=JER_27:18!22|MId=o240270180223|Strong=3389 35-36 בָּבֶֽלָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 35 בָּבֶֽל בָּבֶל PROPN _ _ 19 obl _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_27:18!23|MId=o240270180231|Strong=0894 36 ָה ה X _ _ 35 nmod _ Gloss=Babylon|Ref=JER_27:18!23|MId=o240270180232|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 37 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 36 punct _ Ref=JER_27:18!23|SpaceAfter=No 38 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 36 punct _ Ref=JER_27:18!23 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
