Jeremiah 38:26 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Jonathan, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/JER.38.26/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Nevi'im](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/) / [Jeremiah](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/JER/) / [chapter 38](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/JER/38/) / 38:26 # Jeremiah 38:26 יִרְמְיָהוּ **Who acts:** thou, I, king, me, my · **What happens:** say, present, not cause, return, die, supplicate · **To what, where:** supplication, me · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Jeremiah 38:26 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Nevi'im — the Prophets). 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, I, king, me, my — and what happens in the verse to supplication, 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. וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ אֲלֵיהֶ֔ם מַפִּיל־אֲנִ֥י תְחִנָּתִ֖י לִפְנֵ֣י הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ לְבִלְתִּ֧י הֲשִׁיבֵ֛נִי בֵּ֥ית יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן לָמ֥וּת שָֽׁם׃פ [then thou shalt say unto them: I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.1070/) ## 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:973 # text = וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ אֲלֵיהֶ֔ם מַפִּיל־אֲנִ֥י תְחִנָּתִ֖י לִפְנֵ֣י הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ לְבִלְתִּ֧י הֲשִׁיבֵ֛נִי בֵּ֥ית יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן לָמ֥וּת שָֽׁם׃פ # verse = JER.38.26 1-2 וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_38:26!1|MId=o240380260011|Strong=2050b 2 אָמַרְתָּ֣ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.say|Ref=JER_38:26!1|MId=o240380260012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:240380240041;|Type=weqatal 3-4 אֲלֵיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֲלֵי אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_38:26!2|MId=o240380260021|Strong=0413 4 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=JER_38:26!2|MId=o240380260022|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 5 מַפִּיל־ נָפַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=[was].making.fall|Ref=JER_38:26!3|MId=o240380260031|Strong=5307|Frame=AA:240380260041;A0:240380260051;|Type=participle_active|SpaceAfter=No 6 אֲנִ֥י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 5 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=JER_38:26!4|MId=o240380260041|Strong=0589|Type=personal 7-8 תְחִנָּתִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 תְחִנָּת תְּחִנָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 obj _ Gloss=supplication|Ref=JER_38:26!5|MId=o240380260051|Strong=8467 8 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=JER_38:26!5|MId=o240380260052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 9-10 לִפְנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=JER_38:26!6|MId=o240380260061|Strong=3807a 10 פְנֵ֣י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 5 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=JER_38:26!6|MId=o240380260062|Strong=6440 11-12 הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_38:26!7|MId=o240380260071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 מֶּ֑לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=king|Ref=JER_38:26!7|MId=o240380260072|Strong=4428 13-14 לְבִלְתִּ֧י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_38:26!8|MId=o240380260081|Strong=3807a 14 בִלְתִּ֧י בֵּלֶת ADP _ _ 15 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_38:26!8|MId=o240380260082|Strong=1115 15-16 הֲשִׁיבֵ֛נִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הֲשִׁיב שׁוּב VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 5 advcl _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_38:26!9|MId=o240380260091|Strong=7725|Frame=AA:240380260072;A0:240380260092;|Type=infinitive_construct 16 ֵ֛נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 15 obj _ Gloss=send.me.back|Ref=JER_38:26!9|MId=o240380260092|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 17 בֵּ֥ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=JER_38:26!10|MId=o240380260101|Strong=1004 18 יְהוֹנָתָ֖ן יְהוֹנָתָן PROPN _ _ 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Jonathan|Ref=JER_38:26!11|MId=o240380260111|Strong=3083 19-20 לָמ֥וּת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_38:26!12|MId=o240380260121|Strong=3807a 20 מ֥וּת מוּת VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 15 advcl _ Gloss=die|Ref=JER_38:26!12|MId=o240380260122|Strong=4191|Frame=A0:240380240041;|Type=infinitive_construct 21 שָֽׁם שָׁם ADV _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=JER_38:26!13|MId=o240380260131|Strong=8033|SpaceAfter=No 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=JER_38:26!13|SpaceAfter=No 23 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=JER_38:26!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָמַרְתָּ *you will say* | weqatal · qal | | | | | | מַפִּיל־ *\[was\] making fall* | participle active · hiphil | תְחִנָּת *supplication* | | | אֲנִי *I* | | הֲשִׁיב *to* | infinitive construct · hiphil | ֵנִי *send me back* | | | מֶּלֶךְ *king* | | מוּת *die* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
