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 Jeremiah, pit, 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. וַיְצַוֶּ֣ה הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ אֵ֛ת עֶֽבֶד־מֶ֥לֶךְעֶֽבֶד־מֶ֥לֶךְ הַכּוּשִׁ֖י לֵאמֹ֑ר קַ֣ח בְּיָדְךָ֤ מִזֶּה֙ שְׁלֹשִׁ֣ים אֲנָשִׁ֔ים וְֽהַעֲלִ֜יתָ אֶֽת־יִרְמְיָ֧הוּ הַנָּבִ֛יא מִן־הַבּ֖וֹר בְּטֶ֥רֶם יָמֽוּת׃ [Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying: 'Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the pit, before he die.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.1053/) ## 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:957 # text = וַיְצַוֶּ֣ה הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ אֵ֛ת עֶֽבֶד־מֶ֥לֶךְעֶֽבֶד־מֶ֥לֶךְ הַכּוּשִׁ֖י לֵאמֹ֑ר קַ֣ח בְּיָדְךָ֤ מִזֶּה֙ שְׁלֹשִׁ֣ים אֲנָשִׁ֔ים וְֽהַעֲלִ֜יתָ אֶֽת־יִרְמְיָ֧הוּ הַנָּבִ֛יא מִן־הַבּ֖וֹר בְּטֶ֥רֶם יָמֽוּת׃ # verse = JER.38.10 1-2 וַיְצַוֶּ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_38:10!1|MId=o240380100011|Strong=2050b 2 יְצַוֶּ֣ה צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.commanded|Ref=JER_38:10!1|MId=o240380100012|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:240380100022;A1:240380100041;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_38:10!2|MId=o240380100021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 מֶּ֔לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=king|Ref=JER_38:10!2|MId=o240380100022|Strong=4428 5 אֵ֛ת אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_38:10!3|MId=o240380100031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 6-7 עֶֽבֶד־מֶ֥לֶךְעֶֽבֶד־מֶ֥לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 עֶֽבֶד־מֶ֥לֶךְ עֶבֶד־מֶלֶךְ PROPN _ _ 2 obj _ Gloss=Ebed|Ref=JER_38:10!4|MId=o240380100041 7 עֶֽבֶד־מֶ֥לֶךְ עֶבֶד־מֶלֶךְ PROPN _ _ 6 appos _ Gloss=Melech|Ref=JER_38:10!5|MId=o240380100051 8-9 הַכּוּשִׁ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_38:10!6|MId=o240380100061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 כּוּשִׁ֖י כֻּשִׁי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 appos _ Gloss=Cushite|Ref=JER_38:10!6|MId=o240380100062|Strong=3569|Type=gentilic 10-11 לֵאמֹ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 12 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=JER_38:10!7|MId=o240380100071|Strong=3807a 11 אמֹ֑ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 10 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=JER_38:10!7|MId=o240380100072|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:240380100022;|Type=infinitive_construct 12 קַ֣ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=take|Ref=JER_38:10!8|MId=o240380100081|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:240380100041;A1:240380100111;|Type=imperative 13-15 בְּיָדְךָ֤ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_38:10!9|MId=o240380100091|Strong=0871a 14 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=JER_38:10!9|MId=o240380100092|Strong=3027 15 ְךָ֤ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JER_38:10!9|MId=o240380100093|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 16-17 מִזֶּה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JER_38:10!10|MId=o240380100101|Strong=4480 17 זֶּה֙ זֶה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 12 obl _ Gloss=here|Ref=JER_38:10!10|MId=o240380100102|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 18 שְׁלֹשִׁ֣ים שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Number=Plur 19 nummod _ Gloss=thirty|Ref=JER_38:10!11|MId=o240380100111|Strong=7970|Type=cardinal_number 19 אֲנָשִׁ֔ים אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 obj _ Gloss=men|Ref=JER_38:10!12|MId=o240380100121|Strong=0376 20-21 וְֽהַעֲלִ֜יתָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_38:10!13|MId=o240380100131|Strong=2050b 21 הַעֲלִ֜יתָ עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 12 conj _ Gloss=you.will.bring.up|Ref=JER_38:10!13|MId=o240380100132|Strong=5927|Frame=AA:240380100041;A0:240380100141;|Type=weqatal 22 אֶֽת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_38:10!14|MId=o240380100141|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 23 יִרְמְיָ֧הוּ יִרְמְיָהוּ PROPN _ _ 21 obj _ Gloss=Jeremiah|Ref=JER_38:10!15|MId=o240380100151|Strong=3414a 24-25 הַנָּבִ֛יא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_38:10!16|MId=o240380100161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 נָּבִ֛יא נָבִיא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 appos _ Gloss=prophet|Ref=JER_38:10!16|MId=o240380100162|Strong=5030 26 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JER_38:10!17|MId=o240380100171|Strong=4480|SpaceAfter=No 27-28 הַבּ֖וֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_38:10!18|MId=o240380100181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 בּ֖וֹר בּוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=cistern|Ref=JER_38:10!18|MId=o240380100182|Strong=0953 29-30 בְּטֶ֥רֶם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=JER_38:10!19|MId=o240380100191|Strong=0871a 30 טֶ֥רֶם טֶרֶם ADV _ _ 31 nmod _ Gloss=|Ref=JER_38:10!19|MId=o240380100192|Strong=2962 31 יָמֽוּת מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 12 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.die|Ref=JER_38:10!20|MId=o240380100201|Strong=4191|Frame=A0:240380100141;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=JER_38:10!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
