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 — princes, thou — and what happens in the verse to Baruch, us, words, mouth, 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. וְאֶ֨ת־בָּר֔וּךְ שָׁאֲל֖וּ לֵאמֹ֑ר הַגֶּד־נָ֣א לָ֔נוּ אֵ֗יךְ כָּתַ֛בְתָּ אֶת־כָּל־הַדְּבָרִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה מִפִּֽיו׃ [And they asked Baruch, saying: 'Tell us now: How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.1004/) ## 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:911 # text = וְאֶ֨ת־בָּר֔וּךְ שָׁאֲל֖וּ לֵאמֹ֑ר הַגֶּד־נָ֣א לָ֔נוּ אֵ֗יךְ כָּתַ֛בְתָּ אֶת־כָּל־הַדְּבָרִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה מִפִּֽיו׃ # verse = JER.36.17 1-2 וְאֶ֨ת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_36:17!1|MId=o240360170011|Strong=2050b 2 אֶ֨ת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_36:17!1|MId=o240360170012|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 3 בָּר֔וּךְ בָּרוּךְ PROPN _ _ 4 obj _ Gloss=Baruch|Ref=JER_36:17!2|MId=o240360170021|Strong=1263 4 שָׁאֲל֖וּ שָׁאַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.asked|Ref=JER_36:17!3|MId=o240360170031|Strong=7592|Frame=A0:240360140032;A1:240360170021;|Type=qatal 5-6 לֵאמֹ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 7 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=JER_36:17!4|MId=o240360170041|Strong=3807a 6 אמֹ֑ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 5 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=JER_36:17!4|MId=o240360170042|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:240360140032;|Type=infinitive_construct 7 הַגֶּד־ נָגַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 4 ccomp _ Gloss=tell|Ref=JER_36:17!5|MId=o240360170051|Strong=5046|Frame=A0:240360170021;|Type=imperative|SpaceAfter=No 8 נָ֣א נָא INTJ _ _ 7 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=JER_36:17!6|MId=o240360170061|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation 9-10 לָ֔נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 ל לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_36:17!7|MId=o240360170071|Strong=3807a 10 ָ֔נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=JER_36:17!7|MId=o240360170072|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 11 אֵ֗יךְ אֵיךְ INTJ _ _ 12 discourse _ Gloss=how?|Ref=JER_36:17!8|MId=o240360170081|Strong=0349|Type=interrogative 12 כָּתַ֛בְתָּ כָּתַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 7 parataxis _ Gloss=did.you.write|Ref=JER_36:17!9|MId=o240360170091|Strong=3789|Frame=A0:240360170021;A1:240360170122;|Type=qatal 13 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_36:17!10|MId=o240360170101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 14 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=JER_36:17!11|MId=o240360170111|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 15-16 הַדְּבָרִ֥ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_36:17!12|MId=o240360170121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 דְּבָרִ֥ים דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=words|Ref=JER_36:17!12|MId=o240360170122|Strong=1697 17-18 הָאֵ֖לֶּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JER_36:17!13|MId=o240360170131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 אֵ֖לֶּה אֵלֶּה DET _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 16 det _ Gloss=these|Ref=JER_36:17!13|MId=o240360170132|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 19-21 מִפִּֽיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JER_36:17!14|MId=o240360170141|Strong=4480 20 פִּֽי פֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=mouth|Ref=JER_36:17!14|MId=o240360170142|Strong=6310 21 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JER_36:17!14|MId=o240360170143|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=JER_36:17!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - hedged: yes (נָא) - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שָׁאֲלוּ *they asked* | qatal · qal | | בָּרוּךְ *Baruch* | | | | אמֹר | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | הַגֶּד־ *tell* | imperative · hiphil | בָּרוּךְ *Baruch* | | | | | כָּתַבְתָּ *did you write* | qatal · qal | בָּרוּךְ *Baruch* | דְּבָרִים *words* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
