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, ye, My — and what happens in the verse to covenant, 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. כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה אִם־תָּפֵ֙רוּ֙ אֶת־בְּרִיתִ֣י הַיּ֔וֹם וְאֶת־בְּרִיתִ֖י הַלָּ֑יְלָה וּלְבִלְתִּ֛י הֱי֥וֹת יֽוֹמָם־וָלַ֖יְלָה בְּעִתָּֽם׃ [Thus saith the LORD: If ye can break My covenant with the day, and My covenant with the night, so that there should not be day and night in their season;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.940/) ## 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:847 # text = כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה אִם־תָּפֵ֙רוּ֙ אֶת־בְּרִיתִ֣י הַיּ֔וֹם וְאֶת־בְּרִיתִ֖י הַלָּ֑יְלָה וּלְבִלְתִּ֛י הֱי֥וֹת יֽוֹמָם־וָלַ֖יְלָה בְּעִתָּֽם׃ # verse = JER.33.20 1 כֹּ֚ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=JER_33:20!1|MId=o240330200011|Strong=3541 2 אָמַ֣ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=JER_33:20!2|MId=o240330200021|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:240330200031;|Type=qatal 3 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JER_33:20!3|MId=o240330200031|Strong=3068 4 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=JER_33:20!4|MId=o240330200041|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 5 תָּפֵ֙רוּ֙ פָּרַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=you.will.break|Ref=JER_33:20!5|MId=o240330200051|Strong=6565|Frame=AA:240330170121;A0:240330200071;240330200101;|Type=yiqtol 6 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_33:20!6|MId=o240330200061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 7-8 בְּרִיתִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בְּרִית בְּרִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 obj _ Gloss=covenant|Ref=JER_33:20!7|MId=o240330200071|Strong=1285 8 ִ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=JER_33:20!7|MId=o240330200072|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 9-10 הַיּ֔וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=JER_33:20!8|MId=o240330200081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 יּ֔וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.day|Ref=JER_33:20!8|MId=o240330200082|Strong=3117 11-12 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_33:20!9|MId=o240330200091|Strong=2050b 12 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_33:20!9|MId=o240330200092|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 13-14 בְּרִיתִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בְּרִית בְּרִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 conj _ Gloss=covenant|Ref=JER_33:20!10|MId=o240330200101|Strong=1285 14 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=JER_33:20!10|MId=o240330200102|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 15-16 הַלָּ֑יְלָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=JER_33:20!11|MId=o240330200111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 לָּ֑יְלָה לַיְלָה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.night|Ref=JER_33:20!11|MId=o240330200112|Strong=3915 17-19 וּלְבִלְתִּ֛י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_33:20!12|MId=o240330200121|Strong=2050b 18 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_33:20!12|MId=o240330200122|Strong=3807a 19 בִלְתִּ֛י בֵּלֶת ADP _ _ 25 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_33:20!12|MId=o240330200123|Strong=1115 20 הֱי֥וֹת הָיָה AUX _ HebBinyan=QAL 25 cop _ Gloss=to.be|Ref=JER_33:20!13|MId=o240330200131|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:240330200141;240330200152;|Type=infinitive_construct 21 יֽוֹמָם־ יוֹמָם ADV _ _ 25 nsubj _ Gloss=daytime|Ref=JER_33:20!14|MId=o240330200141|Strong=3119|SpaceAfter=No 22-23 וָלַ֖יְלָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_33:20!15|MId=o240330200151|Strong=2050b 23 לַ֖יְלָה לַיְלָה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 conj _ Gloss=night|Ref=JER_33:20!15|MId=o240330200152|Strong=3915 24-26 בְּעִתָּֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=JER_33:20!16|MId=o240330200161|Strong=0871a 25 עִתּ עֵת NOUN _ Number=Sing 5 conj _ Gloss=their.appropriate|Ref=JER_33:20!16|MId=o240330200162|Strong=6256 26 ָֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=time|Ref=JER_33:20!16|MId=o240330200163|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=JER_33:20!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - indirect: yes - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָמַר *he says* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | תָּפֵרוּ *you will break* | yiqtol · hiphil | בְּרִית *covenant* + בְּרִית *covenant* | | | | | הֱיוֹת *to be* | infinitive construct · qal | יֽוֹמָם־ *daytime* + לַיְלָה *night* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
