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 — pillars, bases — and what happens in the verse to house, pieces, brass, Babylon, 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. וְאֶת־עַמּוּדֵ֨י הַנְּחֹ֜שֶׁת אֲשֶׁ֣ר לְבֵית־יְהוָ֗ה וְֽאֶת־הַמְּכֹנ֞וֹת וְאֶת־יָ֧ם הַנְּחֹ֛שֶׁת אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּבֵית־יְהוָ֖ה שִׁבְּר֣וּ כַשְׂדִּ֑ים וַיִּשְׂא֥וּ אֶת־כָּל־נְחֻשְׁתָּ֖ם בָּבֶֽלָה׃ [And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases and the brazen sea that were in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.1461/) ## 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:1345 # text = וְאֶת־עַמּוּדֵ֨י הַנְּחֹ֜שֶׁת אֲשֶׁ֣ר לְבֵית־יְהוָ֗ה וְֽאֶת־הַמְּכֹנ֞וֹת וְאֶת־יָ֧ם הַנְּחֹ֛שֶׁת אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּבֵית־יְהוָ֖ה שִׁבְּר֣וּ כַשְׂדִּ֑ים וַיִּשְׂא֥וּ אֶת־כָּל־נְחֻשְׁתָּ֖ם בָּבֶֽלָה׃ # verse = JER.52.17 1-2 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_52:17!1|MId=o240520170011|Strong=2050b 2 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_52:17!1|MId=o240520170012|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 3 עַמּוּדֵ֨י עַמּוּד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 obj _ Gloss=the.pillars|Ref=JER_52:17!2|MId=o240520170021|Strong=5982 4-5 הַנְּחֹ֜שֶׁת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=JER_52:17!3|MId=o240520170031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 נְּחֹ֜שֶׁת נְחֹשֶׁת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=bronze|Ref=JER_52:17!3|MId=o240520170032|Strong=5178 6 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 8 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=JER_52:17!4|MId=o240520170041|Strong=0834|Type=relative 7-8 לְבֵית־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=[belonged].to|Ref=JER_52:17!5|MId=o240520170051|Strong=3807a 8 בֵית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 acl:relcl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=JER_52:17!5|MId=o240520170052|Strong=1004 9 יְהוָ֗ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=JER_52:17!6|MId=o240520170061|Strong=3068 10-11 וְֽאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_52:17!7|MId=o240520170071|Strong=2050b 11 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_52:17!7|MId=o240520170072|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 12-13 הַמְּכֹנ֞וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_52:17!8|MId=o240520170081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 מְּכֹנ֞וֹת מְכוֹנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 3 conj _ Gloss=stands|Ref=JER_52:17!8|MId=o240520170082|Strong=4350 14-15 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_52:17!9|MId=o240520170091|Strong=2050b 15 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_52:17!9|MId=o240520170092|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 16 יָ֧ם יָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 conj _ Gloss=the.sea|Ref=JER_52:17!10|MId=o240520170101|Strong=3220 17-18 הַנְּחֹ֛שֶׁת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=JER_52:17!11|MId=o240520170111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 נְּחֹ֛שֶׁת נְחֹשֶׁת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=bronze|Ref=JER_52:17!11|MId=o240520170112|Strong=5178 19 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 21 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=JER_52:17!12|MId=o240520170121|Strong=0834|Type=relative 20-21 בְּבֵית־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=[were].in|Ref=JER_52:17!13|MId=o240520170131|Strong=0871a 21 בֵית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 acl:relcl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=JER_52:17!13|MId=o240520170132|Strong=1004 22 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=JER_52:17!14|MId=o240520170141|Strong=3068 23 שִׁבְּר֣וּ שָׁבַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.broke|Ref=JER_52:17!15|MId=o240520170151|Strong=7665|Frame=A1:240520170021;240520170082;240520170101;A0:240520170161;|Type=qatal 24 כַשְׂדִּ֑ים כַּשְׂדִּים PROPN _ _ 23 nsubj _ Gloss=[the].Chaldeans|Ref=JER_52:17!16|MId=o240520170161|Strong=3778 25-26 וַיִּשְׂא֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_52:17!17|MId=o240520170171|Strong=2050b 26 יִּשְׂא֥וּ נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 23 conj _ Gloss=they.carried.off|Ref=JER_52:17!17|MId=o240520170172|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:240520170161;A1:240520170201;|Type=wayyiqtol 27 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_52:17!18|MId=o240520170181|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 28 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=JER_52:17!19|MId=o240520170191|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 29-30 נְחֻשְׁתָּ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 נְחֻשְׁתּ נְחֹשֶׁת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=bronze|Ref=JER_52:17!20|MId=o240520170201|Strong=5178 30 ָ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 29 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JER_52:17!20|MId=o240520170202|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 31-32 בָּבֶֽלָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 בָּבֶֽל בָּבֶל PROPN _ _ 26 obl _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_52:17!21|MId=o240520170211|Strong=0894 32 ָה ה X _ _ 31 nmod _ Gloss=Babylon|Ref=JER_52:17!21|MId=o240520170212|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=JER_52:17!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
