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 — ye, daughters — and what happens in the verse to wives, sons, daughters, husbands, 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. קְח֣וּ נָשִׁ֗ים וְהוֹלִידוּ֮ בָּנִ֣ים וּבָנוֹת֒ וּקְח֨וּ לִבְנֵיכֶ֜ם נָשִׁ֗ים וְאֶת־בְּנֽוֹתֵיכֶם֙ תְּנ֣וּ לַֽאֲנָשִׁ֔ים וְתֵלַ֖דְנָה בָּנִ֣ים וּבָנ֑וֹת וּרְבוּ־שָׁ֖ם וְאַל־תִּמְעָֽטוּ׃ [take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; and multiply ye there, and be not diminished.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.781/) ## 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:693 # text = קְח֣וּ נָשִׁ֗ים וְהוֹלִידוּ֮ בָּנִ֣ים וּבָנוֹת֒ וּקְח֨וּ לִבְנֵיכֶ֜ם נָשִׁ֗ים וְאֶת־בְּנֽוֹתֵיכֶם֙ תְּנ֣וּ לַֽאֲנָשִׁ֔ים וְתֵלַ֖דְנָה בָּנִ֣ים וּבָנ֑וֹת וּרְבוּ־שָׁ֖ם וְאַל־תִּמְעָֽטוּ׃ # verse = JER.29.6 1 קְח֣וּ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=take|Ref=JER_29:6!1|MId=o240290060011|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:240290040082;A1:240290060021;|Type=imperative 2 נָשִׁ֗ים אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 1 obj _ Gloss=wives|Ref=JER_29:6!2|MId=o240290060021|Strong=0802 3-4 וְהוֹלִידוּ֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_29:6!3|MId=o240290060031|Strong=2050b 4 הוֹלִידוּ֮ יָלַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 1 conj _ Gloss=father|Ref=JER_29:6!3|MId=o240290060032|Strong=3205|Frame=AA:240290040082;A0:240290060041;240290060052;|Type=imperative 5 בָּנִ֣ים בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 obj _ Gloss=sons|Ref=JER_29:6!4|MId=o240290060041|Strong=1121 6-7 וּבָנוֹת֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_29:6!5|MId=o240290060051|Strong=2050b 7 בָנוֹת֒ בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 5 conj _ Gloss=daughters|Ref=JER_29:6!5|MId=o240290060052|Strong=1323 8-9 וּקְח֨וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_29:6!6|MId=o240290060061|Strong=2050b 9 קְח֨וּ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 1 conj _ Gloss=take|Ref=JER_29:6!6|MId=o240290060062|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:240290040082;A1:240290060081;|Type=imperative 10-12 לִבְנֵיכֶ֜ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=JER_29:6!7|MId=o240290060071|Strong=3807a 11 בְנֵי בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 obl _ Gloss=sons|Ref=JER_29:6!7|MId=o240290060072|Strong=1121 12 כֶ֜ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JER_29:6!7|MId=o240290060073|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 13 נָשִׁ֗ים אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 9 obj _ Gloss=wives|Ref=JER_29:6!8|MId=o240290060081|Strong=0802 14-15 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_29:6!9|MId=o240290060091|Strong=2050b 15 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_29:6!9|MId=o240290060092|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 16-17 בְּנֽוֹתֵיכֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 בְּנֽוֹתֵי בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 18 obj _ Gloss=daughters|Ref=JER_29:6!10|MId=o240290060101|Strong=1323 17 כֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JER_29:6!10|MId=o240290060102|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 18 תְּנ֣וּ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 1 conj _ Gloss=give|Ref=JER_29:6!11|MId=o240290060111|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:240290040082;A1:240290060101;|Type=imperative 19-20 לַֽאֲנָשִׁ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 לַֽ לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_29:6!12|MId=o240290060121|Strong=3807a 20 אֲנָשִׁ֔ים אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 obl _ Gloss=husbands|Ref=JER_29:6!12|MId=o240290060122|Strong=0376 21-22 וְתֵלַ֖דְנָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=JER_29:6!13|MId=o240290060131|Strong=2050b 22 תֵלַ֖דְנָה יָלַד VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 1 conj _ Gloss=that.they.may.bear|Ref=JER_29:6!13|MId=o240290060132|Strong=3205|Frame=A0:240290060101;A1:240290060141;240290060152;|Type=yiqtol 23 בָּנִ֣ים בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 22 obj _ Gloss=sons|Ref=JER_29:6!14|MId=o240290060141|Strong=1121 24-25 וּבָנ֑וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_29:6!15|MId=o240290060151|Strong=2050b 25 בָנ֑וֹת בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 23 conj _ Gloss=daughters|Ref=JER_29:6!15|MId=o240290060152|Strong=1323 26-27 וּרְבוּ־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_29:6!16|MId=o240290060161|Strong=2050b 27 רְבוּ־ רָבָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 1 conj _ Gloss=multiply|Ref=JER_29:6!16|MId=o240290060162|Strong=7235|Frame=A0:240290040082;|Type=imperative 28 שָׁ֖ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 27 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=JER_29:6!17|MId=o240290060171|Strong=8033 29-30 וְאַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 31 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_29:6!18|MId=o240290060181|Strong=2050b 30 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 31 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=JER_29:6!18|MId=o240290060182|Strong=0408|Type=negative 31 תִּמְעָֽטוּ מָעַט VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 1 conj _ Gloss=diminish|Ref=JER_29:6!19|MId=o240290060191|Strong=4591|Frame=A0:240290040082;|Type=jussive|SpaceAfter=No 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=JER_29:6!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
