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 — God, LORD, man, son — and what happens in the verse to Sodom, 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. כְּמַהְפֵּכַ֨ת אֱלֹהִ֜ים אֶת־סְדֹ֧ם וְאֶת־עֲמֹרָ֛ה וְאֶת־שְׁכֵנֶ֖יהָ נְאֻם־יְהוָ֑ה לֹֽא־יֵשֵׁ֥ב שָׁם֙ אִ֔ישׁ וְלֹֽא־יָג֥וּר בָּ֖הּ בֶּן־אָדָֽם׃ [As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.1371/) ## 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:1258 # text = כְּמַהְפֵּכַ֨ת אֱלֹהִ֜ים אֶת־סְדֹ֧ם וְאֶת־עֲמֹרָ֛ה וְאֶת־שְׁכֵנֶ֖יהָ נְאֻם־יְהוָ֑ה לֹֽא־יֵשֵׁ֥ב שָׁם֙ אִ֔ישׁ וְלֹֽא־יָג֥וּר בָּ֖הּ בֶּן־אָדָֽם׃ # verse = JER.50.40 1-2 כְּמַהְפֵּכַ֨ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=JER_50:40!1|MId=o240500400011|Strong=3509a 2 מַהְפֵּכַ֨ת מַהְפֵּכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=the.overthrow|Ref=JER_50:40!1|MId=o240500400012|Strong=4114 3 אֱלֹהִ֜ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=of.God|Ref=JER_50:40!2|MId=o240500400021|Strong=0430 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_50:40!3|MId=o240500400031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5 סְדֹ֧ם סְדֹם PROPN _ _ 2 obj _ Gloss=Sodom|Ref=JER_50:40!4|MId=o240500400041|Strong=5467 6-7 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_50:40!5|MId=o240500400051|Strong=2050b 7 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_50:40!5|MId=o240500400052|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 8 עֲמֹרָ֛ה עֲמֹרָה PROPN _ _ 5 conj _ Gloss=Gomorrah|Ref=JER_50:40!6|MId=o240500400061|Strong=6017 9-10 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_50:40!7|MId=o240500400071|Strong=2050b 10 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_50:40!7|MId=o240500400072|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 11-12 שְׁכֵנֶ֖יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 שְׁכֵנֶ֖י שָׁכֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 conj _ Gloss=neighbors|Ref=JER_50:40!8|MId=o240500400081|Strong=7934|Type=adjective 12 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=JER_50:40!8|MId=o240500400082|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 13 נְאֻם־ נְאֻם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 parataxis _ Gloss=the.utterance|Ref=JER_50:40!9|MId=o240500400091|Strong=5002|SpaceAfter=No 14 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=JER_50:40!10|MId=o240500400101|Strong=3068 15 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_50:40!11|MId=o240500400111|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 16 יֵשֵׁ֥ב יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.dwell|Ref=JER_50:40!12|MId=o240500400121|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:240500400141;|Type=yiqtol 17 שָׁם֙ שָׁם ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=JER_50:40!13|MId=o240500400131|Strong=8033 18 אִ֔ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nsubj _ Gloss=anyone|Ref=JER_50:40!14|MId=o240500400141|Strong=0376 19-20 וְלֹֽא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_50:40!15|MId=o240500400151|Strong=2050b 20 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 21 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_50:40!15|MId=o240500400152|Strong=3808|Type=negative 21 יָג֥וּר גּוּר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.will.sojourn|Ref=JER_50:40!16|MId=o240500400161|Strong=1481|Frame=A0:240500400181;|Type=yiqtol 22-23 בָּ֖הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_50:40!17|MId=o240500400171|Strong=0871a 23 ָ֖הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=JER_50:40!17|MId=o240500400172|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 24 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=a.child|Ref=JER_50:40!18|MId=o240500400181|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 25 אָדָֽם אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.humankind|Ref=JER_50:40!19|MId=o240500400191|Strong=0120|SpaceAfter=No 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=JER_50:40!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** יֵשֵׁב *he will dwell* | yiqtol · qal | אִישׁ *anyone* | | | | | **not** יָגוּר *he will sojourn* | yiqtol · qal | בֶּן־ *a child* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
