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 — army, court — and what happens in the verse to Jerusalem, Jeremiah, court, king, house, 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. וְאָ֗ז חֵ֚יל מֶ֣לֶךְ בָּבֶ֔ל צָרִ֖ים עַל־יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וְיִרְמְיָ֣הוּ הַנָּבִ֗יא הָיָ֤ה כָלוּא֙ בַּחֲצַ֣ר הַמַּטָּרָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֖ר בֵּֽית־מֶ֥לֶךְ יְהוּדָֽה׃ [Now at that time the king of Babylon's army was besieging Jerusalem; and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah's house.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.877/) ## 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:785 # text = וְאָ֗ז חֵ֚יל מֶ֣לֶךְ בָּבֶ֔ל צָרִ֖ים עַל־יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וְיִרְמְיָ֣הוּ הַנָּבִ֗יא הָיָ֤ה כָלוּא֙ בַּחֲצַ֣ר הַמַּטָּרָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֖ר בֵּֽית־מֶ֥לֶךְ יְהוּדָֽה׃ # verse = JER.32.2 1-2 וְאָ֗ז _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_32:2!1|MId=o240320020011|Strong=2050b 2 אָ֗ז אָז ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=then|Ref=JER_32:2!1|MId=o240320020012|Strong=0227 3 חֵ֚יל חַיִל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 nsubj _ Gloss=the.army|Ref=JER_32:2!2|MId=o240320020021|Strong=2428 4 מֶ֣לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.king|Ref=JER_32:2!3|MId=o240320020031|Strong=4428 5 בָּבֶ֔ל בָּבֶל PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Babylon|Ref=JER_32:2!4|MId=o240320020041|Strong=0894 6 צָרִ֖ים צוּר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=[were].laying.siege|Ref=JER_32:2!5|MId=o240320020051|Strong=6696|Frame=A0:240320020021;|Type=participle_active 7 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JER_32:2!6|MId=o240320020061|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 8 יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 6 obl _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=JER_32:2!7|MId=o240320020071|Strong=3389 9-10 וְיִרְמְיָ֣הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_32:2!8|MId=o240320020081|Strong=2050b 10 יִרְמְיָ֣הוּ יִרְמְיָהוּ PROPN _ _ 14 nsubj _ Gloss=Jeremiah|Ref=JER_32:2!8|MId=o240320020082|Strong=3414a 11-12 הַנָּבִ֗יא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_32:2!9|MId=o240320020091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 נָּבִ֗יא נָבִיא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 appos _ Gloss=prophet|Ref=JER_32:2!9|MId=o240320020092|Strong=5030 13 הָיָ֤ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 14 cop _ Gloss=he.was|Ref=JER_32:2!10|MId=o240320020101|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:240320020082;|Type=qatal 14 כָלוּא֙ כָּלָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=shut.up|Ref=JER_32:2!11|MId=o240320020111|Strong=3607|Frame=A1:240320020082;|Type=participle_passive 15-16 בַּחֲצַ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_32:2!12|MId=o240320020121|Strong=0871a 16 חֲצַ֣ר חָצֵר NOUN _ Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=the.courtyard|Ref=JER_32:2!12|MId=o240320020122|Strong=2691 17-18 הַמַּטָּרָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=JER_32:2!13|MId=o240320020131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 מַּטָּרָ֔ה מַטָּרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.guard|Ref=JER_32:2!13|MId=o240320020132|Strong=4307 19 אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 20 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=JER_32:2!14|MId=o240320020141|Strong=0834|Type=relative 20 בֵּֽית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[was].the.house|Ref=JER_32:2!15|MId=o240320020151|Strong=1004|SpaceAfter=No 21 מֶ֥לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.king|Ref=JER_32:2!16|MId=o240320020161|Strong=4428 22 יְהוּדָֽה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Judah|Ref=JER_32:2!17|MId=o240320020171|Strong=3063|SpaceAfter=No 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=JER_32:2!17 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | צָרִים *\[were\] laying siege* | participle active · qal | חֵיל *the army* | | | | | הָיָה *he was* | qatal · qal | יִרְמְיָהוּ *Jeremiah* | | | | | כָלוּא *shut up* | participle passive · qal | | יִרְמְיָהוּ *Jeremiah* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
