# Jeremiah 28:4 יִרְמְיָהוּ

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** I, captives, LORD · **What happens:** bring back, go, say, break · **To what, where:** place, Babylon, yoke · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Jeremiah 28:4 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Nevi'im — the Prophets). 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, captives, LORD — and what happens in the verse to place, Babylon, yoke, 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.

[and I will bring back to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, that went to Babylon, saith the LORD; for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.762/)

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
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.
