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 — LORD — and what happens in the verse to city, hand, 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. כֹּ֖ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה הִנָּתֹ֨ן תִּנָּתֵ֜ן הָעִ֣יר הַזֹּ֗את בְּיַ֛ד חֵ֥יל מֶֽלֶךְ־בָּבֶ֖ל וּלְכָדָֽהּ׃ [Thus saith the LORD: This city shall surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.1045/) ## 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:950 # text = כֹּ֖ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה הִנָּתֹ֨ן תִּנָּתֵ֜ן הָעִ֣יר הַזֹּ֗את בְּיַ֛ד חֵ֥יל מֶֽלֶךְ־בָּבֶ֖ל וּלְכָדָֽהּ׃ # verse = JER.38.3 1 כֹּ֖ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=JER_38:3!1|MId=o240380030011|Strong=3541 2 אָמַ֣ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=JER_38:3!2|MId=o240380030021|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:240380030031;|Type=qatal 3 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JER_38:3!3|MId=o240380030031|Strong=3068 4 הִנָּתֹ֨ן נָתַן VERB _ HebBinyan=NIPHAL 5 obl:npmod _ Gloss=certainly.(be.given)|Ref=JER_38:3!4|MId=o240380030041|Strong=5414|Type=infinitive_absolute 5 תִּנָּתֵ֜ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=it.will.be.given|Ref=JER_38:3!5|MId=o240380030051|Strong=5414|Frame=A1:240380030062;|Type=yiqtol 6-7 הָעִ֣יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_38:3!6|MId=o240380030061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 עִ֣יר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 nsubj _ Gloss=city|Ref=JER_38:3!6|MId=o240380030062|Strong=5892 8-9 הַזֹּ֗את _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JER_38:3!7|MId=o240380030071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 זֹּ֗את זֹאת DET _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 7 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=JER_38:3!7|MId=o240380030072|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 10-11 בְּיַ֛ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_38:3!8|MId=o240380030081|Strong=0871a 11 יַ֛ד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=the.hand|Ref=JER_38:3!8|MId=o240380030082|Strong=3027 12 חֵ֥יל חַיִל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.army|Ref=JER_38:3!9|MId=o240380030091|Strong=2428 13 מֶֽלֶךְ־ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.king|Ref=JER_38:3!10|MId=o240380030101|Strong=4428|SpaceAfter=No 14 בָּבֶ֖ל בָּבֶל PROPN _ _ 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Babylon|Ref=JER_38:3!11|MId=o240380030111|Strong=0894 15-17 וּלְכָדָֽהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_38:3!12|MId=o240380030121|Strong=2050b 16 לְכָד לָכַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=JER_38:3!12|MId=o240380030122|Strong=3920|Frame=A0:240380030091;A1:240380030123;|Type=weqatal 17 ָֽהּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obj _ Gloss=will.capture.it|Ref=JER_38:3!12|MId=o240380030123|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 18 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 17 punct _ Ref=JER_38:3!12 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָמַר *he says* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | תִּנָּתֵן *it will be given* | yiqtol · niphal | | עִיר *city* | | | | לְכָד *he* | weqatal · qal | חֵיל *of the army* | ָֽהּ *will capture it* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
