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 — I, thou, life, LORD, thy — and what happens in the verse to thee, trust, 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. כִּ֤י מַלֵּט֙ אֲמַלֶּטְךָ֔ וּבַחֶ֖רֶב לֹ֣א תִפֹּ֑ל וְהָיְתָ֨ה לְךָ֤ נַפְשְׁךָ֙ לְשָׁלָ֔ל כִּֽי־בָטַ֥חְתָּ בִּ֖י נְאֻם־יְהוָֽה׃ס [For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee; because thou hast put thy trust in Me, saith the LORD.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.1092/) ## 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:993 # text = כִּ֤י מַלֵּט֙ אֲמַלֶּטְךָ֔ וּבַחֶ֖רֶב לֹ֣א תִפֹּ֑ל וְהָיְתָ֨ה לְךָ֤ נַפְשְׁךָ֙ לְשָׁלָ֔ל כִּֽי־בָטַ֥חְתָּ בִּ֖י נְאֻם־יְהוָֽה׃ס # verse = JER.39.18 1 כִּ֤י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 3 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JER_39:18!1|MId=o240390180011|Strong=3588 2 מַלֵּט֙ מָלַט VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 3 obl:npmod _ Gloss=certainly.(rescue)|Ref=JER_39:18!2|MId=o240390180021|Strong=4422|Type=infinitive_absolute 3-4 אֲמַלֶּטְךָ֔ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֲמַלֶּט מָלַט VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I|Ref=JER_39:18!3|MId=o240390180031|Strong=4422|Frame=A0:240390170051;A1:240390180032;|Type=yiqtol 4 ְךָ֔ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 obj _ Gloss=will.rescue.you|Ref=JER_39:18!3|MId=o240390180032|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 5-8 וּבַחֶ֖רֶב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_39:18!4|MId=o240390180041|Strong=2050b 6 בַ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=JER_39:18!4|MId=o240390180042|Strong=0871a 7 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_39:18!4|MId=o240390180042ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 חֶ֖רֶב חֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=sword|Ref=JER_39:18!4|MId=o240390180043|Strong=2719 9 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 10 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_39:18!5|MId=o240390180051|Strong=3808|Type=negative 10 תִפֹּ֑ל נָפַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 3 conj _ Gloss=you.will.fall|Ref=JER_39:18!6|MId=o240390180061|Strong=5307|Frame=A0:240390160032;|Type=yiqtol 11-12 וְהָיְתָ֨ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_39:18!7|MId=o240390180071|Strong=2050b 12 הָיְתָ֨ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 18 cop _ Gloss=it.will.belong|Ref=JER_39:18!7|MId=o240390180072|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:240390180091;|Type=weqatal 13-14 לְךָ֤ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 ל לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_39:18!8|MId=o240390180081|Strong=3807a 14 ְךָ֤ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 18 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_39:18!8|MId=o240390180082|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 15-16 נַפְשְׁךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 נַפְשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 18 nsubj _ Gloss=life|Ref=JER_39:18!9|MId=o240390180091|Strong=5315 16 ְךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JER_39:18!9|MId=o240390180092|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 17-18 לְשָׁלָ֔ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_39:18!10|MId=o240390180101|Strong=3807a 18 שָׁלָ֔ל שָׁלָל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 conj _ Gloss=plunder|Ref=JER_39:18!10|MId=o240390180102|Strong=7998 19 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 20 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JER_39:18!11|MId=o240390180111|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 20 בָטַ֥חְתָּ בָּטַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 3 advcl _ Gloss=you.trusted|Ref=JER_39:18!12|MId=o240390180121|Strong=0982|Frame=A0:240390160032;|Type=qatal 21-22 בִּ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_39:18!13|MId=o240390180131|Strong=0871a 22 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 20 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=JER_39:18!13|MId=o240390180132|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 23 נְאֻם־ נְאֻם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 parataxis _ Gloss=the.utterance|Ref=JER_39:18!14|MId=o240390180141|Strong=5002|SpaceAfter=No 24 יְהוָֽה יהוה PROPN _ _ 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=JER_39:18!15|MId=o240390180151|Strong=3068|SpaceAfter=No 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=JER_39:18!15|SpaceAfter=No 26 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=JER_39:18!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: promise - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֲמַלֶּט *I* | yiqtol · piel | | ְךָ *will rescue you* | | | | **not** תִפֹּל *you will fall* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | הָיְתָה *it will belong* | weqatal · qal | נַפְשׁ *life* | | | | | בָטַחְתָּ *you trusted* | qatal · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
