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, people — and what happens in the verse to people, north country, uttermost parts, great company, 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. הִנְנִי֩ מֵבִ֨יא אוֹתָ֜ם מֵאֶ֣רֶץ צָפ֗וֹן וְקִבַּצְתִּים֮ מִיַּרְכְּתֵי־אָרֶץ֒ בָּ֚ם עִוֵּ֣ר וּפִסֵּ֔חַ הָרָ֥ה וְיֹלֶ֖דֶת יַחְדָּ֑ו קָהָ֥ל גָּד֖וֹל יָשׁ֥וּבוּ הֵֽנָּה׃ [Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together; a great company shall they return hither.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.840/) ## 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:751 # text = הִנְנִי֩ מֵבִ֨יא אוֹתָ֜ם מֵאֶ֣רֶץ צָפ֗וֹן וְקִבַּצְתִּים֮ מִיַּרְכְּתֵי־אָרֶץ֒ בָּ֚ם עִוֵּ֣ר וּפִסֵּ֔חַ הָרָ֥ה וְיֹלֶ֖דֶת יַחְדָּ֑ו קָהָ֥ל גָּד֖וֹל יָשׁ֥וּבוּ הֵֽנָּה׃ # verse = JER.31.8 1-2 הִנְנִי֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 הִנ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 3 nsubj _ Gloss=here|Ref=JER_31:8!1|MId=o240310080011|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 2 ְנִי֩ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 1 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=JER_31:8!1|MId=o240310080012|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 3 מֵבִ֨יא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[am].about.to.bring|Ref=JER_31:8!2|MId=o240310080021|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:240310080012;A0:240310080032;|Type=participle_active 4-5 אוֹתָ֜ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=|Ref=JER_31:8!3|MId=o240310080031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 5 ָ֜ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=JER_31:8!3|MId=o240310080032|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 6-7 מֵאֶ֣רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JER_31:8!4|MId=o240310080041|Strong=4480 7 אֶ֣רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=a.land|Ref=JER_31:8!4|MId=o240310080042|Strong=0776 8 צָפ֗וֹן צָפוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].north|Ref=JER_31:8!5|MId=o240310080051|Strong=6828 9-11 וְקִבַּצְתִּים֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_31:8!6|MId=o240310080061|Strong=2050b 10 קִבַּצְתִּי קָבַץ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 3 conj _ Gloss=I|Ref=JER_31:8!6|MId=o240310080062|Strong=6908|Frame=A0:240310070041;A1:240310080063;|Type=weqatal 11 ם֮ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=will.gather.them|Ref=JER_31:8!6|MId=o240310080063|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 12-13 מִיַּרְכְּתֵי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=from.[the]|Ref=JER_31:8!7|MId=o240310080071|Strong=4480 13 יַּרְכְּתֵי־ יַרְכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 10 obl _ Gloss=remotest.parts|Ref=JER_31:8!7|MId=o240310080072|Strong=3411 14 אָרֶץ֒ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].earth|Ref=JER_31:8!8|MId=o240310080081|Strong=0776 15-16 בָּ֚ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בָּ֚ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=[will|Ref=JER_31:8!9|MId=o240310080091|Strong=0871a 16 ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 parataxis _ Gloss=be].among.them|Ref=JER_31:8!9|MId=o240310080092|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 17 עִוֵּ֣ר עִוֵּר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nsubj _ Gloss=[the].blind|Ref=JER_31:8!10|MId=o240310080101|Strong=5787|Type=adjective 18-19 וּפִסֵּ֔חַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and.[the]|Ref=JER_31:8!11|MId=o240310080111|Strong=2050b 19 פִסֵּ֔חַ פִּסֵּחַ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 conj _ Gloss=lame|Ref=JER_31:8!11|MId=o240310080112|Strong=6455|Type=adjective 20 הָרָ֥ה הָרָה ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 conj _ Gloss=[the].pregnant|Ref=JER_31:8!12|MId=o240310080121|Strong=2030|Type=adjective 21-22 וְיֹלֶ֖דֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_31:8!13|MId=o240310080131|Strong=2050b 22 יֹלֶ֖דֶת יָלַד VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 20 conj _ Gloss=[one.who].gives.birth|Ref=JER_31:8!13|MId=o240310080132|Strong=3205|Type=participle_active 23 יַחְדָּ֑ו יָחְדָּו ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=alike|Ref=JER_31:8!14|MId=o240310080141|Strong=3162a 24 קָהָ֥ל קָהָל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 nsubj _ Gloss=a.company|Ref=JER_31:8!15|MId=o240310080151|Strong=6951 25 גָּד֖וֹל גָּדוֹל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 amod _ Gloss=great|Ref=JER_31:8!16|MId=o240310080161|Strong=1419|Type=adjective 26 יָשׁ֥וּבוּ שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.return|Ref=JER_31:8!17|MId=o240310080171|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:240310080151;|Type=yiqtol 27 הֵֽנָּה הֵנָּה ADV _ _ 26 advmod _ Gloss=hither|Ref=JER_31:8!18|MId=o240310080181|Strong=2008|SpaceAfter=No 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=JER_31:8!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | מֵבִיא *\[am\] about to bring* | participle active · hiphil | ָם *them* | | | ְנִי *I* | | קִבַּצְתִּי *I* | weqatal · piel | | ם *will gather them* | | | | יָשׁוּבוּ *they will return* | yiqtol · qal | קָהָל *a company* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
