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, LORD, nation, thou, houses — and what happens in the verse to nation, enduring nation, ancient nation, language, 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. הִנְנִ֣י מֵבִיא֩ עֲלֵיכֶ֨ם גּ֧וֹי מִמֶּרְחָ֛ק בֵּ֥ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל נְאֻם־יְהֹוָ֑ה גּ֣וֹי ׀ אֵיתָ֣ן ה֗וּא גּ֤וֹי מֵעוֹלָם֙ ה֔וּא גּ֚וֹי לֹא־תֵדַ֣ע לְשֹׁנ֔וֹ וְלֹ֥א תִשְׁמַ֖ע מַה־יְדַבֵּֽר׃ [Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD; it is an enduring nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.151/) ## 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:126 # text = הִנְנִ֣י מֵבִיא֩ עֲלֵיכֶ֨ם גּ֧וֹי מִמֶּרְחָ֛ק בֵּ֥ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל נְאֻם־יְהֹוָ֑ה גּ֣וֹי ׀ אֵיתָ֣ן ה֗וּא גּ֤וֹי מֵעוֹלָם֙ ה֔וּא גּ֚וֹי לֹא־תֵדַ֣ע לְשֹׁנ֔וֹ וְלֹ֥א תִשְׁמַ֖ע מַה־יְדַבֵּֽר׃ # verse = JER.5.15 1-2 הִנְנִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 הִנ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 3 nsubj _ Gloss=here|Ref=JER_5:15!1|MId=o240050150011|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 2 ְנִ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 1 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=JER_5:15!1|MId=o240050150012|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 3 מֵבִיא֩ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[am].about.to.bring|Ref=JER_5:15!2|MId=o240050150021|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:240050150012;A0:240050150041;|Type=participle_active 4-5 עֲלֵיכֶ֨ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 עֲלֵי עַל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JER_5:15!3|MId=o240050150031|Strong=5921 5 כֶ֨ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_5:15!3|MId=o240050150032|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 6 גּ֧וֹי גּוֹי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obj _ Gloss=a.nation|Ref=JER_5:15!4|MId=o240050150041|Strong=1471 7-8 מִמֶּרְחָ֛ק _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JER_5:15!5|MId=o240050150051|Strong=4480 8 מֶּרְחָ֛ק מֶרְחָק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=a.distance|Ref=JER_5:15!5|MId=o240050150052|Strong=4801 9 בֵּ֥ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 parataxis _ Gloss=O.house|Ref=JER_5:15!6|MId=o240050150061|Strong=1004 10 יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=JER_5:15!7|MId=o240050150071|Strong=3478 11 נְאֻם־ נְאֻם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 parataxis _ Gloss=the.utterance|Ref=JER_5:15!8|MId=o240050150081|Strong=5002|SpaceAfter=No 12 יְהֹוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=JER_5:15!9|MId=o240050150091|Strong=3068 13 גּ֣וֹי גּוֹי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 parataxis _ Gloss=[is].a.nation|Ref=JER_5:15!10|MId=o240050150101|Strong=1471 14 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 13 punct _ Ref=JER_5:15!10 15 אֵיתָ֣ן אֵיתָן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 amod _ Gloss=enduring|Ref=JER_5:15!11|MId=o240050150111|Strong=0386|Type=adjective 16 ה֗וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=JER_5:15!12|MId=o240050150121|Strong=1931|Type=personal 17 גּ֤וֹי גּוֹי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 parataxis _ Gloss=[is].a.nation|Ref=JER_5:15!13|MId=o240050150131|Strong=1471 18-19 מֵעוֹלָם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JER_5:15!14|MId=o240050150141|Strong=4480 19 עוֹלָם֙ עוֹלָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 nmod _ Gloss=long.ago|Ref=JER_5:15!14|MId=o240050150142|Strong=5769 20 ה֔וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=JER_5:15!15|MId=o240050150151|Strong=1931|Type=personal 21 גּ֚וֹי גּוֹי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 parataxis _ Gloss=a.nation|Ref=JER_5:15!16|MId=o240050150161|Strong=1471 22 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 23 advmod _ Gloss=[which].not|Ref=JER_5:15!17|MId=o240050150171|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 23 תֵדַ֣ע יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 21 acl _ Gloss=you.know|Ref=JER_5:15!18|MId=o240050150181|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:240050150061;A1:240050150191;|Type=yiqtol 24-25 לְשֹׁנ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 לְשֹׁנ לָשׁוֹן NOUN _ Number=Sing 23 obj _ Gloss=language|Ref=JER_5:15!19|MId=o240050150191|Strong=3956 25 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=JER_5:15!19|MId=o240050150192|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26-27 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_5:15!20|MId=o240050150201|Strong=2050b 27 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 28 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_5:15!20|MId=o240050150202|Strong=3808|Type=negative 28 תִשְׁמַ֖ע שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 23 conj _ Gloss=you.hear|Ref=JER_5:15!21|MId=o240050150211|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:240050150061;A1:240050150231;|Type=yiqtol 29 מַה־ מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 30 obj _ Gloss=what?|Ref=JER_5:15!22|MId=o240050150221|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative|SpaceAfter=No 30 יְדַבֵּֽר דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 28 ccomp _ Gloss=does.it.say|Ref=JER_5:15!23|MId=o240050150231|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:240050150161;A1:240050150221;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=JER_5:15!23 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
