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 sons, Riblah, nobles, 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. וַיִּשְׁחַט֩ מֶ֨לֶךְ בָּבֶ֜ל אֶת־בְּנֵ֧י צִדְקִיָּ֛הוּ בְּרִבְלָ֖ה לְעֵינָ֑יו וְאֵת֙ כָּל־חֹרֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה שָׁחַ֖ט מֶ֥לֶךְ בָּבֶֽל׃ [Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes; also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.1080/) ## 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:981 # text = וַיִּשְׁחַט֩ מֶ֨לֶךְ בָּבֶ֜ל אֶת־בְּנֵ֧י צִדְקִיָּ֛הוּ בְּרִבְלָ֖ה לְעֵינָ֑יו וְאֵת֙ כָּל־חֹרֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה שָׁחַ֖ט מֶ֥לֶךְ בָּבֶֽל׃ # verse = JER.39.6 1-2 וַיִּשְׁחַט֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_39:6!1|MId=o240390060011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּשְׁחַט֩ שָׁחַט VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.slaughtered|Ref=JER_39:6!1|MId=o240390060012|Strong=7819|Frame=A0:240390060021;A1:240390060051;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 מֶ֨לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=JER_39:6!2|MId=o240390060021|Strong=4428 4 בָּבֶ֜ל בָּבֶל PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Babylon|Ref=JER_39:6!3|MId=o240390060031|Strong=0894 5 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_39:6!4|MId=o240390060041|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 6 בְּנֵ֧י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obj _ Gloss=the.sons|Ref=JER_39:6!5|MId=o240390060051|Strong=1121 7 צִדְקִיָּ֛הוּ צִדְקִיָּהוּ PROPN _ _ 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Zedekiah|Ref=JER_39:6!6|MId=o240390060061|Strong=6667a 8-9 בְּרִבְלָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=JER_39:6!7|MId=o240390060071|Strong=0871a 9 רִבְלָ֖ה רִבְלָה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Riblah|Ref=JER_39:6!7|MId=o240390060072|Strong=7247 10-12 לְעֵינָ֑יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_39:6!8|MId=o240390060081|Strong=3807a 11 עֵינָ֑י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 2 obl _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=JER_39:6!8|MId=o240390060082|Strong=5869 12 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JER_39:6!8|MId=o240390060083|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 13-14 וְאֵת֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_39:6!9|MId=o240390060091|Strong=2050b 14 אֵת֙ אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_39:6!9|MId=o240390060092|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 15 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=JER_39:6!10|MId=o240390060101|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 16 חֹרֵ֣י חֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.nobles|Ref=JER_39:6!11|MId=o240390060111|Strong=2715 17 יְהוּדָ֔ה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Judah|Ref=JER_39:6!12|MId=o240390060121|Strong=3063 18 שָׁחַ֖ט שָׁחַט VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.slaughtered|Ref=JER_39:6!13|MId=o240390060131|Strong=7819|Frame=A1:240390060111;A0:240390060141;|Type=qatal 19 מֶ֥לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 nsubj _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=JER_39:6!14|MId=o240390060141|Strong=4428 20 בָּבֶֽל בָּבֶל PROPN _ _ 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Babylon|Ref=JER_39:6!15|MId=o240390060151|Strong=0894|SpaceAfter=No 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=JER_39:6!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּשְׁחַט *he slaughtered* | wayyiqtol · qal | מֶלֶךְ *the king* | בְּנֵי *the sons* | | | | שָׁחַט *he slaughtered* | qatal · qal | מֶלֶךְ *the king* | חֹרֵי *the nobles* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
