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, nations, arrows, mighty man, none — and what happens in the verse to assembly, nations, array, Babylon, vain, 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. כִּ֣י הִנֵּ֣ה אָנֹכִ֡י מֵעִיר֩ וּמַעֲלֶ֨ה עַל־בָּבֶ֜ל קְהַל־גּוֹיִ֤ם גְּדֹלִים֙ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ צָפ֔וֹן וְעָ֣רְכוּ לָ֔הּ מִשָּׁ֖ם תִּלָּכֵ֑ד חִצָּיו֙ כְּגִבּ֣וֹר מַשְׁכִּ֔יל לֹ֥א יָשׁ֖וּב רֵיקָֽם׃ [For, lo, I will stir up and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country; and they shall set themselves in array against her, from thence she shall be taken; their arrows shall be as of a mighty man that maketh childless; none shall return in vain.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.1339/) ## 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:1227 # text = כִּ֣י הִנֵּ֣ה אָנֹכִ֡י מֵעִיר֩ וּמַעֲלֶ֨ה עַל־בָּבֶ֜ל קְהַל־גּוֹיִ֤ם גְּדֹלִים֙ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ צָפ֔וֹן וְעָ֣רְכוּ לָ֔הּ מִשָּׁ֖ם תִּלָּכֵ֑ד חִצָּיו֙ כְּגִבּ֣וֹר מַשְׁכִּ֔יל לֹ֥א יָשׁ֖וּב רֵיקָֽם׃ # verse = JER.50.9 1 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JER_50:9!1|MId=o240500090011|Strong=3588 2 הִנֵּ֣ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 4 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=JER_50:9!2|MId=o240500090021|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 3 אָנֹכִ֡י אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=JER_50:9!3|MId=o240500090031|Strong=0595|Type=personal 4 מֵעִיר֩ עוּר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[am].about.to.rouse|Ref=JER_50:9!4|MId=o240500090041|Strong=5782|Frame=AA:240500090031;A0:240500090081;|Type=participle_active 5-6 וּמַעֲלֶ֨ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_50:9!5|MId=o240500090051|Strong=2050b 6 מַעֲלֶ֨ה עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=[I.am].about.to.bring.up|Ref=JER_50:9!5|MId=o240500090052|Strong=5927|Frame=AA:240500090031;A0:240500090081;|Type=participle_active 7 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JER_50:9!6|MId=o240500090061|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 8 בָּבֶ֜ל בָּבֶל PROPN _ _ 4 obl _ Gloss=Babylon|Ref=JER_50:9!7|MId=o240500090071|Strong=0894 9 קְהַל־ קָהָל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obj _ Gloss=an.assembly|Ref=JER_50:9!8|MId=o240500090081|Strong=6951|SpaceAfter=No 10 גּוֹיִ֤ם גּוֹי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.nations|Ref=JER_50:9!9|MId=o240500090091|Strong=1471 11 גְּדֹלִים֙ גָּדוֹל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 amod _ Gloss=great|Ref=JER_50:9!10|MId=o240500090101|Strong=1419|Type=adjective 12-13 מֵאֶ֣רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JER_50:9!11|MId=o240500090111|Strong=4480 13 אֶ֣רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 4 obl _ Gloss=a.land|Ref=JER_50:9!11|MId=o240500090112|Strong=0776 14 צָפ֔וֹן צָפוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].north|Ref=JER_50:9!12|MId=o240500090121|Strong=6828 15-16 וְעָ֣רְכוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_50:9!13|MId=o240500090131|Strong=2050b 16 עָ֣רְכוּ עָרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=they.will.line.up|Ref=JER_50:9!13|MId=o240500090132|Strong=6186|Frame=A0:240500090081;|Type=weqatal 17-18 לָ֔הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 ל לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_50:9!14|MId=o240500090141|Strong=3807a 18 ָ֔הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=JER_50:9!14|MId=o240500090142|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 19-20 מִשָּׁ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JER_50:9!15|MId=o240500090151|Strong=4480 20 שָּׁ֖ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 21 obl _ Gloss=there|Ref=JER_50:9!15|MId=o240500090152|Strong=8033 21 תִּלָּכֵ֑ד לָכַד VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=it.will.be.captured|Ref=JER_50:9!16|MId=o240500090161|Strong=3920|Frame=A1:240500090071;|Type=yiqtol 22-23 חִצָּיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 חִצָּי חֵץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 25 nsubj _ Gloss=arrows|Ref=JER_50:9!17|MId=o240500090171|Strong=2671 23 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=JER_50:9!17|MId=o240500090172|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 24-25 כְּגִבּ֣וֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=[will|Ref=JER_50:9!18|MId=o240500090181|Strong=3509a 25 גִבּ֣וֹר גִּבּוֹר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 parataxis _ Gloss=be].like.a.warrior|Ref=JER_50:9!18|MId=o240500090182|Strong=1368|Type=adjective 26 מַשְׁכִּ֔יל שָׂכַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 25 nmod _ Gloss=[who].miscarries|Ref=JER_50:9!19|MId=o240500090191|Strong=7921|Frame=A0:240500090182;|Type=participle_active 27 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 28 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_50:9!20|MId=o240500090201|Strong=3808|Type=negative 28 יָשׁ֖וּב שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=he.returns|Ref=JER_50:9!21|MId=o240500090211|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:240500090171;|Type=yiqtol 29 רֵיקָֽם רֵיקָם ADV _ _ 28 advmod _ Gloss=empty|Ref=JER_50:9!22|MId=o240500090221|Strong=7387|SpaceAfter=No 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=JER_50:9!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
