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 — LORD, prophets, diviners, ye, dreams, your — and what happens in the verse to prophets, midst, you, dreams, 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. כִּי֩ כֹ֨ה אָמַ֜ר יְהוָ֤ה צְבָאוֹת֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אַל־יַשִּׁ֧יאוּ לָכֶ֛ם נְבִֽיאֵיכֶ֥ם אֲשֶׁר־בְּקִרְבְּכֶ֖ם וְקֹֽסְמֵיכֶ֑ם וְאַֽל־תִּשְׁמְעוּ֙ אֶל־חֲלֹמֹ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר אַתֶּ֖ם מַחְלְמִֽים׃ [For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Let not your prophets that are in the midst of you, and your diviners, beguile you, neither hearken ye to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.783/) ## 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:695 # text = כִּי֩ כֹ֨ה אָמַ֜ר יְהוָ֤ה צְבָאוֹת֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אַל־יַשִּׁ֧יאוּ לָכֶ֛ם נְבִֽיאֵיכֶ֥ם אֲשֶׁר־בְּקִרְבְּכֶ֖ם וְקֹֽסְמֵיכֶ֑ם וְאַֽל־תִּשְׁמְעוּ֙ אֶל־חֲלֹמֹ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר אַתֶּ֖ם מַחְלְמִֽים׃ # verse = JER.29.8 1 כִּי֩ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 3 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JER_29:8!1|MId=o240290080011|Strong=3588 2 כֹ֨ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=JER_29:8!2|MId=o240290080021|Strong=3541 3 אָמַ֜ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=JER_29:8!3|MId=o240290080031|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:240290080041;|Type=qatal 4 יְהוָ֤ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 3 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JER_29:8!4|MId=o240290080041|Strong=3068 5 צְבָאוֹת֙ צָבָא NOUN _ Number=Plur 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.hosts|Ref=JER_29:8!5|MId=o240290080051|Strong=6635 6 אֱלֹהֵ֣י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 appos _ Gloss=the.God|Ref=JER_29:8!6|MId=o240290080061|Strong=0430 7 יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=JER_29:8!7|MId=o240290080071|Strong=3478 8 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 9 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_29:8!8|MId=o240290080081|Strong=0408|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 9 יַשִּׁ֧יאוּ נָשָׁא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 ccomp _ Gloss=let.them.deceive|Ref=JER_29:8!9|MId=o240290080091|Strong=5377|Frame=A0:240290080111;240290080142;|Type=jussive 10-11 לָכֶ֛ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 ל לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=JER_29:8!10|MId=o240290080101|Strong=3807a 11 ָכֶ֛ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 9 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_29:8!10|MId=o240290080102|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 12-13 נְבִֽיאֵיכֶ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 נְבִֽיאֵי נָבִיא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 nsubj _ Gloss=prophets|Ref=JER_29:8!11|MId=o240290080111|Strong=5030 13 כֶ֥ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JER_29:8!11|MId=o240290080112|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 14 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=JER_29:8!12|MId=o240290080121|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 15-17 בְּקִרְבְּכֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=[are].in|Ref=JER_29:8!13|MId=o240290080131|Strong=0871a 16 קִרְבּ קֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 acl:relcl _ Gloss=midst|Ref=JER_29:8!13|MId=o240290080132|Strong=7130 17 ְכֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JER_29:8!13|MId=o240290080133|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 18-20 וְקֹֽסְמֵיכֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_29:8!14|MId=o240290080141|Strong=2050b 19 קֹֽסְמֵי קָסַם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 12 conj _ Gloss=diviners|Ref=JER_29:8!14|MId=o240290080142|Strong=7080|Type=participle_active 20 כֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JER_29:8!14|MId=o240290080143|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 21-22 וְאַֽל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_29:8!15|MId=o240290080151|Strong=2050b 22 אַֽל־ אַל ADV _ _ 23 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=JER_29:8!15|MId=o240290080152|Strong=0408|Type=negative 23 תִּשְׁמְעוּ֙ שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 9 conj _ Gloss=listen|Ref=JER_29:8!16|MId=o240290080161|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:240290040082;|Type=jussive 24 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_29:8!17|MId=o240290080171|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 25-26 חֲלֹמֹ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 חֲלֹמֹ֣תֵי חֲלוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 obl _ Gloss=dreams|Ref=JER_29:8!18|MId=o240290080181|Strong=2472 26 כֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JER_29:8!18|MId=o240290080182|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 27 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 29 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=JER_29:8!19|MId=o240290080191|Strong=0834|Type=relative 28 אַתֶּ֖ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 29 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_29:8!20|MId=o240290080201|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 29 מַחְלְמִֽים חָלַם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur 25 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[are].dreaming|Ref=JER_29:8!21|MId=o240290080211|Strong=2492a|Frame=AA:240290080201;A0:240290080181;|Type=participle_active|SpaceAfter=No 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=JER_29:8!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
