Jeremiah 42:16 in Hebrew with its dependency tree --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/JER.42.16/) [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 42](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/JER/42/) / 42:16 # Jeremiah 42:16 יִרְמְיָהוּ **Who acts:** remnant, ye, sword, famine · **What happens:** come, pass, fear, overtake, be, follow · **To what, where:** sword, you, land, Egypt This is Jeremiah 42:16 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 — remnant, ye, sword, famine — and what happens in the verse to sword, you, land, Egypt, 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. וְהָיְתָ֣ה הַחֶ֗רֶב אֲשֶׁ֤ר אַתֶּם֙ יְרֵאִ֣ים מִמֶּ֔נָּה שָׁ֛ם תַּשִּׂ֥יג אֶתְכֶ֖ם בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם וְהָרָעָ֞ב אֲשֶׁר־אַתֶּ֣ם ׀ דֹּאֲגִ֣ים מִמֶּ֗נּוּ שָׁ֣ם יִדְבַּ֧ק אַחֲרֵיכֶ֛ם מִצְרַ֖יִם וְשָׁ֥ם תָּמֻֽתוּ׃ [then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye fear, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye are afraid, shall follow hard after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.1143/) ## 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:1043 # text = וְהָיְתָ֣ה הַחֶ֗רֶב אֲשֶׁ֤ר אַתֶּם֙ יְרֵאִ֣ים מִמֶּ֔נָּה שָׁ֛ם תַּשִּׂ֥יג אֶתְכֶ֖ם בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם וְהָרָעָ֞ב אֲשֶׁר־אַתֶּ֣ם ׀ דֹּאֲגִ֣ים מִמֶּ֗נּוּ שָׁ֣ם יִדְבַּ֧ק אַחֲרֵיכֶ֛ם מִצְרַ֖יִם וְשָׁ֥ם תָּמֻֽתוּ׃ # verse = JER.42.16 1-2 וְהָיְתָ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_42:16!1|MId=o240420160011|Strong=2050b 2 הָיְתָ֣ה הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=JER_42:16!1|MId=o240420160012|Strong=1961|Type=weqatal 3-4 הַחֶ֗רֶב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_42:16!2|MId=o240420160021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 חֶ֗רֶב חֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 nsubj _ Gloss=sword|Ref=JER_42:16!2|MId=o240420160022|Strong=2719 5 אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 7 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=JER_42:16!3|MId=o240420160031|Strong=0834|Type=relative 6 אַתֶּם֙ אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_42:16!4|MId=o240420160041|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 7 יְרֵאִ֣ים יָרֵא ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[are].afraid|Ref=JER_42:16!5|MId=o240420160051|Strong=3373|Type=adjective 8-9 מִמֶּ֔נָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 מִמּ מִן ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JER_42:16!6|MId=o240420160061|Strong=4480 9 ֶ֔נָּה הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=JER_42:16!6|MId=o240420160062|Strong=5089a|Type=pronominal 10 שָׁ֛ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 11 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=JER_42:16!7|MId=o240420160071|Strong=8033 11 תַּשִּׂ֥יג נָשַׂג VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=it.will.overtake|Ref=JER_42:16!8|MId=o240420160081|Strong=5381|Frame=AA:240420160022;A0:240420160092;|Type=yiqtol 12-13 אֶתְכֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 אֶת אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=|Ref=JER_42:16!9|MId=o240420160091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 13 ְכֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 11 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_42:16!9|MId=o240420160092|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 14-15 בְּאֶ֣רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_42:16!10|MId=o240420160101|Strong=0871a 15 אֶ֣רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=JER_42:16!10|MId=o240420160102|Strong=0776 16 מִצְרָ֑יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Egypt|Ref=JER_42:16!11|MId=o240420160111|Strong=4714 17-19 וְהָרָעָ֞ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_42:16!12|MId=o240420160121|Strong=2050b 18 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_42:16!12|MId=o240420160122|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 רָעָ֞ב רָעָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 nsubj _ Gloss=famine|Ref=JER_42:16!12|MId=o240420160123|Strong=7458 20 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 23 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=JER_42:16!13|MId=o240420160131|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 21 אַתֶּ֣ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 23 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_42:16!14|MId=o240420160141|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 22 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=JER_42:16!14 23 דֹּאֲגִ֣ים דָּאַג VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 19 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[are].anxious|Ref=JER_42:16!15|MId=o240420160151|Strong=1672|Frame=A0:240420160141;|Type=participle_active 24-25 מִמֶּ֗נּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 מִמּ מִן ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JER_42:16!16|MId=o240420160161|Strong=4480 25 ֶ֗נּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 23 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=JER_42:16!16|MId=o240420160162|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 26 שָׁ֣ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 27 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=JER_42:16!17|MId=o240420160171|Strong=8033 27 יִדְבַּ֧ק דָּבַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.will.pursue.closely|Ref=JER_42:16!18|MId=o240420160181|Strong=1692|Frame=A0:240420160123;|Type=yiqtol 28-29 אַחֲרֵיכֶ֛ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 אַחֲרֵי אַחַר ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=behind|Ref=JER_42:16!19|MId=o240420160191|Strong=0310 29 כֶ֛ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 27 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_42:16!19|MId=o240420160192|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 30 מִצְרַ֖יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 27 obl _ Gloss=Egypt|Ref=JER_42:16!20|MId=o240420160201|Strong=4714 31-32 וְשָׁ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 33 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_42:16!21|MId=o240420160211|Strong=2050b 32 שָׁ֥ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 33 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=JER_42:16!21|MId=o240420160212|Strong=8033 33 תָּמֻֽתוּ מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=you.will.die|Ref=JER_42:16!22|MId=o240420160221|Strong=4191|Frame=A0:240420150061;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=JER_42:16!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
