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 — captain, LORD — and what happens in the verse to Jeremiah, evil, 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. וַיִּקַּ֥ח רַב־טַבָּחִ֖ים לְיִרְמְיָ֑הוּ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלָ֔יו יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ דִּבֶּר֙ אֶת־הָרָעָ֣ה הַזֹּ֔את אֶל־הַמָּק֖וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ [And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said unto him: 'The LORD thy God pronounced this evil upon this place;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.1094/) ## 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:995 # text = וַיִּקַּ֥ח רַב־טַבָּחִ֖ים לְיִרְמְיָ֑הוּ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלָ֔יו יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ דִּבֶּר֙ אֶת־הָרָעָ֣ה הַזֹּ֔את אֶל־הַמָּק֖וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ # verse = JER.40.2 1-2 וַיִּקַּ֥ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_40:2!1|MId=o240400020011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּקַּ֥ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.took|Ref=JER_40:2!1|MId=o240400020012|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:240400020021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 רַב־ רַב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=[the].chief|Ref=JER_40:2!2|MId=o240400020021|Strong=7227a|SpaceAfter=No 4 טַבָּחִ֖ים טַבָּח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].bodyguards|Ref=JER_40:2!3|MId=o240400020031|Strong=2876 5-6 לְיִרְמְיָ֑הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=JER_40:2!4|MId=o240400020041|Strong=3807a 6 יִרְמְיָ֑הוּ יִרְמְיָהוּ PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Jeremiah|Ref=JER_40:2!4|MId=o240400020042|Strong=3414a 7-8 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_40:2!5|MId=o240400020051|Strong=2050b 8 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=JER_40:2!5|MId=o240400020052|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:240400020021;|Type=wayyiqtol 9-10 אֵלָ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 אֵלָ֔י אֶל ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_40:2!6|MId=o240400020061|Strong=0413 10 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=JER_40:2!6|MId=o240400020062|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 11 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 14 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JER_40:2!7|MId=o240400020071|Strong=3068 12-13 אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 אֱלֹהֶ֗י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=JER_40:2!8|MId=o240400020081|Strong=0430 13 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JER_40:2!8|MId=o240400020082|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 14 דִּבֶּר֙ דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 8 ccomp _ Gloss=he.spoke|Ref=JER_40:2!9|MId=o240400020091|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:240400020071;A1:240400020112;|Type=qatal 15 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_40:2!10|MId=o240400020101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 16-17 הָרָעָ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_40:2!11|MId=o240400020111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 רָעָ֣ה רָעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=harm|Ref=JER_40:2!11|MId=o240400020112|Strong=7451b 18-19 הַזֹּ֔את _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JER_40:2!12|MId=o240400020121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 זֹּ֔את זֹאת DET _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 17 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=JER_40:2!12|MId=o240400020122|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 20 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=against|Ref=JER_40:2!13|MId=o240400020131|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 21-22 הַמָּק֖וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_40:2!14|MId=o240400020141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 מָּק֖וֹם מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=place|Ref=JER_40:2!14|MId=o240400020142|Strong=4725 23-24 הַזֶּֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JER_40:2!15|MId=o240400020151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 זֶּֽה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 22 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=JER_40:2!15|MId=o240400020152|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=JER_40:2!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּקַּח *he took* | wayyiqtol · qal | רַב־ *\[the\] chief* | | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | רַב־ *\[the\] chief* | | | | | דִּבֶּר *he spoke* | qatal · piel | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | רָעָה *harm* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
