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 — Babylon, golden cup, nations — and what happens in the verse to golden cup, hand, earth, 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. כּוֹס־זָהָ֤ב בָּבֶל֙ בְּיַד־יְהוָ֔ה מְשַׁכֶּ֖רֶת כָּל־הָאָ֑רֶץ מִיֵּינָהּ֙ שָׁת֣וּ גוֹיִ֔ם עַל־כֵּ֖ן יִתְהֹלְל֥וּ גוֹיִֽם׃ [Babylon hath been a golden cup in LORD'S hand, that made all the earth drunken; the nations have drunk of her wine, therefore the nations are mad.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.1384/) ## 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:1271 # text = כּוֹס־זָהָ֤ב בָּבֶל֙ בְּיַד־יְהוָ֔ה מְשַׁכֶּ֖רֶת כָּל־הָאָ֑רֶץ מִיֵּינָהּ֙ שָׁת֣וּ גוֹיִ֔ם עַל־כֵּ֖ן יִתְהֹלְל֥וּ גוֹיִֽם׃ # verse = JER.51.7 1 כּוֹס־ כּוֹס NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[was].a.cup|Ref=JER_51:7!1|MId=o240510070011|Strong=3563|SpaceAfter=No 2 זָהָ֤ב זָהָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.gold|Ref=JER_51:7!2|MId=o240510070021|Strong=2091 3 בָּבֶל֙ בָּבֶל PROPN _ _ 1 nsubj _ Gloss=Babylon|Ref=JER_51:7!3|MId=o240510070031|Strong=0894 4-5 בְּיַד־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_51:7!4|MId=o240510070041|Strong=0871a 5 יַד־ יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 1 obl _ Gloss=the.hand|Ref=JER_51:7!4|MId=o240510070042|Strong=3027 6 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=JER_51:7!5|MId=o240510070051|Strong=3068 7 מְשַׁכֶּ֖רֶת שָׁכַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing 1 parataxis _ Gloss=[it.was].making.drunk|Ref=JER_51:7!6|MId=o240510070061|Strong=7937|Frame=A0:240510070031;A1:240510070082;|Type=participle_active 8 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=JER_51:7!7|MId=o240510070071|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 הָאָ֑רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_51:7!8|MId=o240510070081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 אָ֑רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=earth|Ref=JER_51:7!8|MId=o240510070082|Strong=0776 11-13 מִיֵּינָהּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=some|Ref=JER_51:7!9|MId=o240510070091|Strong=4480 12 יֵּינ יַיִן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=of|Ref=JER_51:7!9|MId=o240510070092|Strong=3196 13 ָהּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its.wine|Ref=JER_51:7!9|MId=o240510070093|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 14 שָׁת֣וּ שָׁתָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=they.have.drunk|Ref=JER_51:7!10|MId=o240510070101|Strong=8354|Frame=A0:240510070111;|Type=qatal 15 גוֹיִ֔ם גּוֹי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 nsubj _ Gloss=nations|Ref=JER_51:7!11|MId=o240510070111|Strong=1471 16 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=therefore|Ref=JER_51:7!12|MId=o240510070121|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 17 כֵּ֖ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 1 conj _ Gloss=|Ref=JER_51:7!13|MId=o240510070131|Strong=3651|Type=demonstrative 18 יִתְהֹלְל֥וּ הָלַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=they.are.acting.like.mad.people|Ref=JER_51:7!14|MId=o240510070141|Strong=1984b|Frame=A0:240510070151;|Type=yiqtol 19 גוֹיִֽם גּוֹי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 nsubj _ Gloss=nations|Ref=JER_51:7!15|MId=o240510070151|Strong=1471|SpaceAfter=No 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=JER_51:7!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | מְשַׁכֶּרֶת *\[it was\] making drunk* | participle active · piel | בָּבֶל *Babylon* | אָרֶץ *earth* | | | | שָׁתוּ *they have drunk* | qatal · qal | גוֹיִם *nations* | | | | | יִתְהֹלְלוּ *they are acting like mad people* | yiqtol · hithpael | גוֹיִֽם *nations* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
