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 — thou, this, LORD — and what happens in the verse to word, me, 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. וְאִם־מָאֵ֥ן אַתָּ֖ה לָצֵ֑את זֶ֣ה הַדָּבָ֔ר אֲשֶׁ֥ר הִרְאַ֖נִי יְהוָֽה׃ [But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that the LORD hath shown me:](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.1065/) ## 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:968 # text = וְאִם־מָאֵ֥ן אַתָּ֖ה לָצֵ֑את זֶ֣ה הַדָּבָ֔ר אֲשֶׁ֥ר הִרְאַ֖נִי יְהוָֽה׃ # verse = JER.38.21 1-2 וְאִם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_38:21!1|MId=o240380210011|Strong=2050b 2 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 3 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=JER_38:21!1|MId=o240380210012|Strong=0518 3 מָאֵ֥ן מָאֵן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing 7 advcl _ Gloss=[are].refusing|Ref=JER_38:21!2|MId=o240380210021|Strong=3986|Frame=A0:240380210031;|Type=participle_active 4 אַתָּ֖ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_38:21!3|MId=o240380210031|Strong=0859|Type=personal 5-6 לָצֵ֑את _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_38:21!4|MId=o240380210041|Strong=3807a 6 צֵ֑את יָצָא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 3 xcomp _ Gloss=go.out|Ref=JER_38:21!4|MId=o240380210042|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:240380190022;|Type=infinitive_construct 7 זֶ֣ה זֶה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 0 root _ Gloss=this|Ref=JER_38:21!5|MId=o240380210051|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 8-9 הַדָּבָ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=[is].the|Ref=JER_38:21!6|MId=o240380210061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 דָּבָ֔ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=thing|Ref=JER_38:21!6|MId=o240380210062|Strong=1697 10 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 11 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=JER_38:21!7|MId=o240380210071|Strong=0834|Type=relative 11-12 הִרְאַ֖נִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הִרְא רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 9 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he|Ref=JER_38:21!8|MId=o240380210081|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:240380210082;AA:240380210091;A1:240380210062;|Type=qatal 12 ַ֖נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 11 obj _ Gloss=has.shown.me|Ref=JER_38:21!8|MId=o240380210082|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 13 יְהוָֽה יהוה PROPN _ _ 11 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JER_38:21!9|MId=o240380210091|Strong=3068|SpaceAfter=No 14 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 13 punct _ Ref=JER_38:21!9 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | מָאֵן *\[are\] refusing* | participle active · piel | אַתָּה *you* | | | | | צֵאת *go out* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | הִרְא *he* | qatal · hiphil | ַנִי *has shown me* | דָּבָר *thing* | | יְהוָֽה *Yahweh* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
