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 — We, us, judgment, Babylon — and what happens in the verse to Babylon, us, one, own country, skies, 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. רִפִּ֣ינוּ אֶת־בָּבֶל֙ וְלֹ֣א נִרְפָּ֔תָה עִזְב֕וּהָ וְנֵלֵ֖ךְ אִ֣ישׁ לְאַרְצ֑וֹ כִּֽי־נָגַ֤ע אֶל־הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ מִשְׁפָּטָ֔הּ וְנִשָּׂ֖א עַד־שְׁחָקִֽים׃ [We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed; forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country; for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.1386/) ## 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:1273 # text = רִפִּ֣ינוּ אֶת־בָּבֶל֙ וְלֹ֣א נִרְפָּ֔תָה עִזְב֕וּהָ וְנֵלֵ֖ךְ אִ֣ישׁ לְאַרְצ֑וֹ כִּֽי־נָגַ֤ע אֶל־הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ מִשְׁפָּטָ֔הּ וְנִשָּׂ֖א עַד־שְׁחָקִֽים׃ # verse = JER.51.9 1 רִפִּ֣ינוּ רפה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=we.healed|Ref=JER_51:9!2|MId=o240510090021|Strong=7495|Frame=A0:240510070151;A1:240510090041;|Type=qatal 2 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_51:9!3|MId=o240510090031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 3 בָּבֶל֙ בָּבֶל PROPN _ _ 1 obj _ Gloss=Babylon|Ref=JER_51:9!4|MId=o240510090041|Strong=0894 4-5 וְלֹ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_51:9!5|MId=o240510090051|Strong=2050b 5 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_51:9!5|MId=o240510090052|Strong=3808|Type=negative 6 נִרְפָּ֔תָה רָפָא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 conj _ Gloss=it.was.healed|Ref=JER_51:9!6|MId=o240510090061|Strong=7495|Frame=A1:240510090041;|Type=qatal 7-8 עִזְב֕וּהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 עִזְב֕וּ עָזַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 1 parataxis _ Gloss=leave|Ref=JER_51:9!7|MId=o240510090071|Strong=5800|Frame=A0:240510070151;A1:240510090072;|Type=imperative 8 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=JER_51:9!7|MId=o240510090072|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 9-10 וְנֵלֵ֖ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_51:9!8|MId=o240510090081|Strong=2050b 10 נֵלֵ֖ךְ הלך VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 1 conj _ Gloss=let.us.go|Ref=JER_51:9!8|MId=o240510090082|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:240510070151;|Type=yiqtol 11 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=everyone|Ref=JER_51:9!9|MId=o240510090091|Strong=0376 12-14 לְאַרְצ֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_51:9!10|MId=o240510090101|Strong=3807a 13 אַרְצ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=his.own|Ref=JER_51:9!10|MId=o240510090102|Strong=0776 14 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=land|Ref=JER_51:9!10|MId=o240510090103|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 15 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JER_51:9!11|MId=o240510090111|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 16 נָגַ֤ע נָגַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 advcl _ Gloss=it.has.reached|Ref=JER_51:9!12|MId=o240510090121|Strong=5060|Frame=A0:240510090151;|Type=qatal 17 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_51:9!13|MId=o240510090131|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 18-19 הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_51:9!14|MId=o240510090141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 שָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ שָׁמַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 obl _ Gloss=heavens|Ref=JER_51:9!14|MId=o240510090142|Strong=8064 20-21 מִשְׁפָּטָ֔הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 מִשְׁפָּט מִשְׁפָּט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nsubj _ Gloss=judgment|Ref=JER_51:9!15|MId=o240510090151|Strong=4941 21 ָ֔הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=JER_51:9!15|MId=o240510090152|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 22-23 וְנִשָּׂ֖א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_51:9!16|MId=o240510090161|Strong=2050b 23 נִשָּׂ֖א נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 conj _ Gloss=it.has.been.lifted.up|Ref=JER_51:9!16|MId=o240510090162|Strong=5375|Frame=A1:240510090041;|Type=qatal 24 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_51:9!17|MId=o240510090171|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 25 שְׁחָקִֽים שַׁחַק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 obl _ Gloss=[the].clouds|Ref=JER_51:9!18|MId=o240510090181|Strong=7834|SpaceAfter=No 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=JER_51:9!18 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | רִפִּינוּ *we healed* | qatal · piel | | בָּבֶל *Babylon* | | | | **not** נִרְפָּתָה *it was healed* | qatal · niphal | | בָּבֶל *Babylon* | | | | עִזְבוּ *leave* | imperative · qal | | הָ *it* | | | | נֵלֵךְ *let us go* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | נָגַע *it has reached* | qatal · qal | מִשְׁפָּט *judgment* | | | | | נִשָּׂא *it has been lifted up* | qatal · niphal | | בָּבֶל *Babylon* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
