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 — people, I, Ephraim — and what happens in the verse to people, straight way, father, first born, 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. בִּבְכִ֣י יָבֹ֗אוּ וּֽבְתַחֲנוּנִים֮ אֽוֹבִילֵם֒ אֽוֹלִיכֵם֙ אֶל־נַ֣חֲלֵי מַ֔יִם בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ יָשָׁ֔ר לֹ֥א יִכָּשְׁל֖וּ בָּ֑הּ כִּֽי־הָיִ֤יתִי לְיִשְׂרָאֵל֙ לְאָ֔ב וְאֶפְרַ֖יִם בְּכֹ֥רִי הֽוּא׃ס [They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them; I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way wherein they shall not stumble; for I am become a father to Israel, and Ephraim is My first-born.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.841/) ## 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:752 # text = בִּבְכִ֣י יָבֹ֗אוּ וּֽבְתַחֲנוּנִים֮ אֽוֹבִילֵם֒ אֽוֹלִיכֵם֙ אֶל־נַ֣חֲלֵי מַ֔יִם בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ יָשָׁ֔ר לֹ֥א יִכָּשְׁל֖וּ בָּ֑הּ כִּֽי־הָיִ֤יתִי לְיִשְׂרָאֵל֙ לְאָ֔ב וְאֶפְרַ֖יִם בְּכֹ֥רִי הֽוּא׃ס # verse = JER.31.9 1-2 בִּבְכִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JER_31:9!1|MId=o240310090011|Strong=0871a 2 בְכִ֣י בְּכִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=weeping|Ref=JER_31:9!1|MId=o240310090012|Strong=1065 3 יָבֹ֗אוּ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.will.come|Ref=JER_31:9!2|MId=o240310090021|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:240310080151;|Type=yiqtol 4-6 וּֽבְתַחֲנוּנִים֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וּֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_31:9!3|MId=o240310090031|Strong=2050b 5 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JER_31:9!3|MId=o240310090032|Strong=0871a 6 תַחֲנוּנִים֮ תַּחֲנוּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 obl _ Gloss=supplications|Ref=JER_31:9!3|MId=o240310090033|Strong=8469 7-8 אֽוֹבִילֵם֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 אֽוֹבִיל יָבַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 3 conj _ Gloss=I|Ref=JER_31:9!4|MId=o240310090041|Strong=2986|Frame=AA:240310070041;A0:240310090042;|Type=yiqtol 8 ֵם֒ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 obj _ Gloss=will.bring.them|Ref=JER_31:9!4|MId=o240310090042|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 9-10 אֽוֹלִיכֵם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 אֽוֹלִיכ הלך VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 3 parataxis _ Gloss=I|Ref=JER_31:9!5|MId=o240310090051|Strong=1980|Frame=AA:240310070041;A0:240310090052;|Type=yiqtol 10 ֵם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 obj _ Gloss=will.lead.them|Ref=JER_31:9!5|MId=o240310090052|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 11 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_31:9!6|MId=o240310090061|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 12 נַ֣חֲלֵי נַחַל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 obl _ Gloss=torrents|Ref=JER_31:9!7|MId=o240310090071|Strong=5158 13 מַ֔יִם מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.water|Ref=JER_31:9!8|MId=o240310090081|Strong=4325 14-15 בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JER_31:9!9|MId=o240310090091|Strong=0871a 15 דֶ֣רֶךְ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=a.path|Ref=JER_31:9!9|MId=o240310090092|Strong=1870 16 יָשָׁ֔ר יָשָׁר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 amod _ Gloss=straight|Ref=JER_31:9!10|MId=o240310090101|Strong=3477|Type=adjective 17 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 18 advmod _ Gloss=[which].not|Ref=JER_31:9!11|MId=o240310090111|Strong=3808|Type=negative 18 יִכָּשְׁל֖וּ כָּשַׁל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 15 acl _ Gloss=they.will.stumble|Ref=JER_31:9!12|MId=o240310090121|Strong=3782|Frame=A0:240310080151;|Type=yiqtol 19-20 בָּ֑הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_31:9!13|MId=o240310090131|Strong=0871a 20 ָ֑הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=JER_31:9!13|MId=o240310090132|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 21 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 24 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JER_31:9!14|MId=o240310090141|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 22 הָיִ֤יתִי הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 24 cop _ Gloss=I.have.become|Ref=JER_31:9!15|MId=o240310090151|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:240310070041;|Type=qatal 23-24 לְיִשְׂרָאֵל֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=JER_31:9!16|MId=o240310090161|Strong=3807a 24 יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 3 advcl _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=JER_31:9!16|MId=o240310090162|Strong=3478 25-26 לְאָ֔ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=(into).a|Ref=JER_31:9!17|MId=o240310090171|Strong=3807a 26 אָ֔ב אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 obl _ Gloss=father|Ref=JER_31:9!17|MId=o240310090172|Strong=0001 27-28 וְאֶפְרַ֖יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_31:9!18|MId=o240310090181|Strong=2050b 28 אֶפְרַ֖יִם אֶפְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 29 dislocated _ Gloss=Ephraim|Ref=JER_31:9!18|MId=o240310090182|Strong=0669 29-30 בְּכֹ֥רִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 בְּכֹ֥ר בְּכֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 conj _ Gloss=firstborn|Ref=JER_31:9!19|MId=o240310090191|Strong=1060 30 ִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 29 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[is].my|Ref=JER_31:9!19|MId=o240310090192|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 31 הֽוּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 29 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=JER_31:9!20|MId=o240310090201|Strong=1931|Type=personal|SpaceAfter=No 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=JER_31:9!20|SpaceAfter=No 33 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=JER_31:9!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
