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 — army — and what happens in the verse to Zedekiah, plains, army, 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. וַיִּרְדְּפ֤וּ חֵיל־כַּשְׂדִּים֙ אַחֲרֵ֣י הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַיַּשִּׂ֥יגוּ אֶת־צִדְקִיָּ֖הוּ בְּעַֽרְבֹ֣ת יְרֵח֑וֹ וְכָל־חֵיל֔וֹ נָפֹ֖צוּ מֵעָלָֽיו׃ [But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.1452/) ## 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:1336 # text = וַיִּרְדְּפ֤וּ חֵיל־כַּשְׂדִּים֙ אַחֲרֵ֣י הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַיַּשִּׂ֥יגוּ אֶת־צִדְקִיָּ֖הוּ בְּעַֽרְבֹ֣ת יְרֵח֑וֹ וְכָל־חֵיל֔וֹ נָפֹ֖צוּ מֵעָלָֽיו׃ # verse = JER.52.8 1-2 וַיִּרְדְּפ֤וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_52:8!1|MId=o240520080011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּרְדְּפ֤וּ רָדַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.pursued|Ref=JER_52:8!1|MId=o240520080012|Strong=7291|Frame=A0:240520080021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 חֵיל־ חַיִל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.army|Ref=JER_52:8!2|MId=o240520080021|Strong=2428|SpaceAfter=No 4 כַּשְׂדִּים֙ כַּשְׂדִּים PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].Chaldeans|Ref=JER_52:8!3|MId=o240520080031|Strong=3778 5 אַחֲרֵ֣י אַחַר ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=JER_52:8!4|MId=o240520080041|Strong=0310 6-7 הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_52:8!5|MId=o240520080051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 מֶּ֔לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=king|Ref=JER_52:8!5|MId=o240520080052|Strong=4428 8-9 וַיַּשִּׂ֥יגוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_52:8!6|MId=o240520080061|Strong=2050b 9 יַּשִּׂ֥יגוּ נָשַׂג VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.overtook|Ref=JER_52:8!6|MId=o240520080062|Strong=5381|Frame=AA:240520080021;A0:240520080081;|Type=wayyiqtol 10 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_52:8!7|MId=o240520080071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 11 צִדְקִיָּ֖הוּ צִדְקִיָּהוּ PROPN _ _ 9 obj _ Gloss=Zedekiah|Ref=JER_52:8!8|MId=o240520080081|Strong=6667a 12-13 בְּעַֽרְבֹ֣ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_52:8!9|MId=o240520080091|Strong=0871a 13 עַֽרְבֹ֣ת עֲרָבָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 9 obl _ Gloss=the.plains|Ref=JER_52:8!9|MId=o240520080092|Strong=6160 14 יְרֵח֑וֹ יְרִיחֹו־יְרִחֹו PROPN _ _ 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Jericho|Ref=JER_52:8!10|MId=o240520080101|Strong=3405 15-16 וְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_52:8!11|MId=o240520080111|Strong=2050b 16 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=all|Ref=JER_52:8!11|MId=o240520080112|Strong=3605 17-18 חֵיל֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 חֵיל חַיִל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=army|Ref=JER_52:8!12|MId=o240520080121|Strong=2428 18 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JER_52:8!12|MId=o240520080122|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 19 נָפֹ֖צוּ פּוּץ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.were.scattered|Ref=JER_52:8!13|MId=o240520080131|Strong=6327|Frame=A1:240520080121;|Type=qatal 20-22 מֵעָלָֽיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JER_52:8!14|MId=o240520080141|Strong=4480 21 עָלָֽי עַל ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JER_52:8!14|MId=o240520080142|Strong=5921 22 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=JER_52:8!14|MId=o240520080143|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=JER_52:8!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּרְדְּפוּ *they pursued* | wayyiqtol · qal | חֵיל־ *the army* | | | | | יַּשִּׂיגוּ *they overtook* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | צִדְקִיָּהוּ *Zedekiah* | | | חֵיל־ *the army* | | נָפֹצוּ *they were scattered* | qatal · niphal | | חֵיל *army* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
