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 — king — and what happens in the verse to words, LORD, 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. וְלֹ֥א שָׁמַ֛ע ה֥וּא וַעֲבָדָ֖יו וְעַ֣ם הָאָ֑רֶץ אֶל־דִּבְרֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר דִּבֶּ֔ר בְּיַ֖ד יִרְמְיָ֥הוּ הַנָּבִֽיא׃ [But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of the LORD, which He spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.1022/) ## 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:928 # text = וְלֹ֥א שָׁמַ֛ע ה֥וּא וַעֲבָדָ֖יו וְעַ֣ם הָאָ֑רֶץ אֶל־דִּבְרֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר דִּבֶּ֔ר בְּיַ֖ד יִרְמְיָ֥הוּ הַנָּבִֽיא׃ # verse = JER.37.2 1-2 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_37:2!1|MId=o240370020011|Strong=2050b 2 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_37:2!1|MId=o240370020012|Strong=3808|Type=negative 3 שָׁמַ֛ע שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.listened|Ref=JER_37:2!2|MId=o240370020021|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:240370020031;240370020042;240370020052;|Type=qatal 4 ה֥וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=JER_37:2!3|MId=o240370020031|Strong=1931|Type=personal 5-7 וַעֲבָדָ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_37:2!4|MId=o240370020041|Strong=2050b 6 עֲבָדָ֖י עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 conj _ Gloss=servants|Ref=JER_37:2!4|MId=o240370020042|Strong=5650 7 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JER_37:2!4|MId=o240370020043|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 8-9 וְעַ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_37:2!5|MId=o240370020051|Strong=2050b 9 עַ֣ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=JER_37:2!5|MId=o240370020052|Strong=5971 10-11 הָאָ֑רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=JER_37:2!6|MId=o240370020061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 אָ֑רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=JER_37:2!6|MId=o240370020062|Strong=0776 12 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_37:2!7|MId=o240370020071|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 13 דִּבְרֵ֣י דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 obl _ Gloss=the.words|Ref=JER_37:2!8|MId=o240370020081|Strong=1697 14 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=JER_37:2!9|MId=o240370020091|Strong=3068 15 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=JER_37:2!10|MId=o240370020101|Strong=0834|Type=relative 16 דִּבֶּ֔ר דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 13 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.spoke|Ref=JER_37:2!11|MId=o240370020111|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:240370020091;A1:240370020081;|Type=qatal 17-18 בְּיַ֖ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=JER_37:2!12|MId=o240370020121|Strong=0871a 18 יַ֖ד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=the.hand|Ref=JER_37:2!12|MId=o240370020122|Strong=3027 19 יִרְמְיָ֥הוּ יִרְמְיָהוּ PROPN _ _ 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Jeremiah|Ref=JER_37:2!13|MId=o240370020131|Strong=3414a 20-21 הַנָּבִֽיא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_37:2!14|MId=o240370020141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 נָּבִֽיא נָבִיא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 appos _ Gloss=prophet|Ref=JER_37:2!14|MId=o240370020142|Strong=5030 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=JER_37:2!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** שָׁמַע *he listened* | qatal · qal | הוּא *he* + עֲבָדָי *servants* + עַם *the people* | | | | | דִּבֶּר *he spoke* | qatal · piel | יְהוָה *of Yahweh* | דִּבְרֵי *the words* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
