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, man, I — and what happens in the verse to man, loins, faces, paleness, 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. שַׁאֲלוּ־נָ֣א וּרְא֔וּ אִם־יֹלֵ֖ד זָכָ֑ר מַדּוּעַ֩ רָאִ֨יתִי כָל־גֶּ֜בֶר יָדָ֤יו עַל־חֲלָצָיו֙ כַּיּ֣וֹלֵדָ֔ה וְנֶהֶפְכ֥וּ כָל־פָּנִ֖ים לְיֵרָקֽוֹן׃ [Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child; wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.813/) ## 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:725 # text = שַׁאֲלוּ־נָ֣א וּרְא֔וּ אִם־יֹלֵ֖ד זָכָ֑ר מַדּוּעַ֩ רָאִ֨יתִי כָל־גֶּ֜בֶר יָדָ֤יו עַל־חֲלָצָיו֙ כַּיּ֣וֹלֵדָ֔ה וְנֶהֶפְכ֥וּ כָל־פָּנִ֖ים לְיֵרָקֽוֹן׃ # verse = JER.30.6 1 שַׁאֲלוּ־ שָׁאַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=ask|Ref=JER_30:6!1|MId=o240300060011|Strong=7592|Frame=A0:240300040071;240300040091;A1:240300060051;|Type=imperative|SpaceAfter=No 2 נָ֣א נָא INTJ _ _ 1 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=JER_30:6!2|MId=o240300060021|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation 3-4 וּרְא֔וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_30:6!3|MId=o240300060031|Strong=2050b 4 רְא֔וּ רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 1 conj _ Gloss=see|Ref=JER_30:6!3|MId=o240300060032|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:240300040071;240300040091;A1:240300060051;|Type=imperative 5 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 6 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=JER_30:6!4|MId=o240300060041|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 6 יֹלֵ֖ד יָלַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 1 parataxis _ Gloss=[is].giving.birth|Ref=JER_30:6!5|MId=o240300060051|Strong=3205|Frame=A0:240300060061;|Type=participle_active 7 זָכָ֑ר זָכָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 nsubj _ Gloss=a.male|Ref=JER_30:6!6|MId=o240300060061|Strong=2145|Type=adjective 8 מַדּוּעַ֩ מַדּוּעַ ADV _ _ 9 advmod _ Gloss=why?|Ref=JER_30:6!7|MId=o240300060071|Strong=4069|Type=interrogative 9 רָאִ֨יתִי רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 1 parataxis _ Gloss=have.I.seen|Ref=JER_30:6!8|MId=o240300060081|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:240300050041;A1:240300060131;240300060152;|Type=qatal 10 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 dislocated _ Gloss=every|Ref=JER_30:6!9|MId=o240300060091|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 11 גֶּ֜בֶר גֶּבֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=man|Ref=JER_30:6!10|MId=o240300060101|Strong=1397 12-13 יָדָ֤יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 יָדָ֤י יָד NOUN _ Number=Dual 15 nsubj _ Gloss=hands|Ref=JER_30:6!11|MId=o240300060111|Strong=3027 13 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JER_30:6!11|MId=o240300060112|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 14 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=[are].on|Ref=JER_30:6!12|MId=o240300060121|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 15-16 חֲלָצָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 חֲלָצָי חָלָץ NOUN _ Number=Dual 9 ccomp _ Gloss=loins|Ref=JER_30:6!13|MId=o240300060131|Strong=2504 16 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JER_30:6!13|MId=o240300060132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 17-19 כַּיּ֣וֹלֵדָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=like.(the)|Ref=JER_30:6!14|MId=o240300060141|Strong=3509a 18 ה הַ SCONJ _ _ 19 mark _ Gloss=[woman|Ref=JER_30:6!14|MId=o240300060141ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 יּ֣וֹלֵדָ֔ה יָלַד VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 15 advcl _ Gloss=who].gives.birth|Ref=JER_30:6!14|MId=o240300060142|Strong=3205|Type=participle_active 20-21 וְנֶהֶפְכ֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_30:6!15|MId=o240300060151|Strong=2050b 21 נֶהֶפְכ֥וּ הָפַךְ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 15 conj _ Gloss=have.they.been.changed?|Ref=JER_30:6!15|MId=o240300060152|Strong=2015|Frame=A1:240300060171;|Type=weqatal 22 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=all|Ref=JER_30:6!16|MId=o240300060161|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 23 פָּנִ֖ים פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=faces|Ref=JER_30:6!17|MId=o240300060171|Strong=6440 24-25 לְיֵרָקֽוֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=into|Ref=JER_30:6!18|MId=o240300060181|Strong=3807a 25 יֵרָקֽוֹן יֵרָקוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=paleness|Ref=JER_30:6!18|MId=o240300060182|Strong=3420 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=JER_30:6!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no - hedged: yes (נָא) | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שַׁאֲלוּ־ *ask* | imperative · qal | | יֹלֵד *\[is\] giving birth* | | | | רְאוּ *see* | imperative · qal | | יֹלֵד *\[is\] giving birth* | | | | יֹלֵד *\[is\] giving birth* | participle active · qal | זָכָר *a male* | | | | | רָאִיתִי *have I seen* | qatal · qal | | חֲלָצָי *loins* + נֶהֶפְכוּ *have they been changed?* | | | | נֶהֶפְכוּ *have they been changed?* | weqatal · niphal | | פָּנִים *faces* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
