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 — people, us, LORD, that — and what happens in the verse to heart, us, LORD, former rain, 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. וְלֹֽא־אָמְר֣וּ בִלְבָבָ֗ם נִ֤ירָא נָא֙ אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֔ינוּ הַנֹּתֵ֗ן גֶּ֛שֶׁם יוֹרֶ֥ה וּמַלְק֖וֹשׁ בְּעִתּ֑וֹ שְׁבֻע֛וֹת חֻקּ֥וֹת קָצִ֖יר יִשְׁמָר־לָֽנוּ׃ [Neither say they in their heart: 'Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth the former rain, and the latter in due season; that keepeth for us the appointed weeks of the harvest.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.161/) ## 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:135 # text = וְלֹֽא־אָמְר֣וּ בִלְבָבָ֗ם נִ֤ירָא נָא֙ אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֔ינוּ הַנֹּתֵ֗ן גֶּ֛שֶׁם יוֹרֶ֥ה וּמַלְק֖וֹשׁ בְּעִתּ֑וֹ שְׁבֻע֛וֹת חֻקּ֥וֹת קָצִ֖יר יִשְׁמָר־לָֽנוּ׃ # verse = JER.5.24 1-2 וְלֹֽא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_5:24!1|MId=o240050240011|Strong=2050b 2 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_5:24!1|MId=o240050240012|Strong=3808|Type=negative 3 אָמְר֣וּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=JER_5:24!2|MId=o240050240021|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:240050230014;|Type=qatal 4-6 בִלְבָבָ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בִ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_5:24!3|MId=o240050240031|Strong=0871a 5 לְבָב לֵבָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=heart|Ref=JER_5:24!3|MId=o240050240032|Strong=3824 6 ָ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JER_5:24!3|MId=o240050240033|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 7 נִ֤ירָא יָרֵא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 3 ccomp _ Gloss=let.us.fear|Ref=JER_5:24!4|MId=o240050240041|Strong=3372|Frame=A0:240050230014;A1:240050240071;|Type=cohortative 8 נָא֙ נָא INTJ _ _ 7 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=JER_5:24!5|MId=o240050240051|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation 9 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_5:24!6|MId=o240050240061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 10 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 7 obj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JER_5:24!7|MId=o240050240071|Strong=3068 11-12 אֱלֹהֵ֔ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 אֱלֹהֵ֔י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=JER_5:24!8|MId=o240050240081|Strong=0430 12 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=JER_5:24!8|MId=o240050240082|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 13-14 הַנֹּתֵ֗ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=[who]|Ref=JER_5:24!9|MId=o240050240091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 נֹּתֵ֗ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 10 appos _ Gloss=gives|Ref=JER_5:24!9|MId=o240050240092|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:240050240071;A1:240050240101;|Type=participle_active 15 גֶּ֛שֶׁם גֶּשֶׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=rain|Ref=JER_5:24!10|MId=o240050240101|Strong=1653 16 יוֹרֶ֥ה יוֹרֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 appos _ Gloss=autumn.rain|Ref=JER_5:24!12|MId=o240050240121|Strong=3138 17-18 וּמַלְק֖וֹשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_5:24!13|MId=o240050240131|Strong=2050b 18 מַלְק֖וֹשׁ מַלְקוֹשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 conj _ Gloss=spring.rain|Ref=JER_5:24!13|MId=o240050240132|Strong=4456 19-21 בְּעִתּ֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=JER_5:24!14|MId=o240050240141|Strong=0871a 20 עִתּ עֵת NOUN _ Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=its.appropriate|Ref=JER_5:24!14|MId=o240050240142|Strong=6256 21 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=time|Ref=JER_5:24!14|MId=o240050240143|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22 שְׁבֻע֛וֹת שָׁבוּעַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 25 obj _ Gloss=[the].weeks|Ref=JER_5:24!15|MId=o240050240151|Strong=7620 23 חֻקּ֥וֹת חֻקָּה NOUN _ Number=Plur 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].appointments|Ref=JER_5:24!16|MId=o240050240161|Strong=2708 24 קָצִ֖יר קָצִיר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.harvest|Ref=JER_5:24!17|MId=o240050240171|Strong=7105 25 יִשְׁמָר־ שָׁמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 14 parataxis _ Gloss=he.keeps|Ref=JER_5:24!18|MId=o240050240181|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:240050240071;A1:240050240151;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 26-27 לָֽנוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 ל לְ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=JER_5:24!19|MId=o240050240191|Strong=3807a 27 ָֽנוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 25 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=JER_5:24!19|MId=o240050240192|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=JER_5:24!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - hedged: yes (נָא) - the frame alone: decl · assert · neg | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** אָמְרוּ *they said* | qatal · qal | | | | | | נִירָא *let us fear* | cohortative · qal | | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | נֹּתֵן *gives* | participle active · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | גֶּשֶׁם *rain* | | | | יִשְׁמָר־ *he keeps* | yiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | שְׁבֻעוֹת *\[the\] weeks* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
