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 — LORD, ye, this, oppression — and what happens in the verse to trees, mound, city, 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 כֹ֤ה אָמַר֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת כִּרְת֣וּ עֵצָ֔ה וְשִׁפְכ֥וּ עַל־יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם סֹלְלָ֑ה הִ֚יא הָעִ֣יר הָפְקַ֔ד כֻּלָּ֖הּ עֹ֥שֶׁק בְּקִרְבָּֽהּ׃ [For thus hath the LORD of hosts said: hew ye down her trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem; this is the city to be punished; everywhere there is oppression in the midst of her.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.174/) ## 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:148 # text = כִּ֣י כֹ֤ה אָמַר֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת כִּרְת֣וּ עֵצָ֔ה וְשִׁפְכ֥וּ עַל־יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם סֹלְלָ֑ה הִ֚יא הָעִ֣יר הָפְקַ֔ד כֻּלָּ֖הּ עֹ֥שֶׁק בְּקִרְבָּֽהּ׃ # verse = JER.6.6 1 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 3 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JER_6:6!1|MId=o240060060011|Strong=3588 2 כֹ֤ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=JER_6:6!2|MId=o240060060021|Strong=3541 3 אָמַר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=JER_6:6!3|MId=o240060060031|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:240060060041;|Type=qatal 4 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 3 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JER_6:6!4|MId=o240060060041|Strong=3068 5 צְבָא֔וֹת צָבָא NOUN _ Number=Plur 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.hosts|Ref=JER_6:6!5|MId=o240060060051|Strong=6635 6 כִּרְת֣וּ כָּרַת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 3 ccomp _ Gloss=cut.down|Ref=JER_6:6!6|MId=o240060060061|Strong=3772|Frame=A0:240060030031;240060030042;A1:240060060071;|Type=imperative 7 עֵצָ֔ה עֵצָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=wood|Ref=JER_6:6!7|MId=o240060060071|Strong=6097 8-9 וְשִׁפְכ֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_6:6!8|MId=o240060060081|Strong=2050b 9 שִׁפְכ֥וּ שָׁפַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 6 conj _ Gloss=pour.out|Ref=JER_6:6!8|MId=o240060060082|Strong=8210|Frame=A0:240060030031;240060030042;A1:240060060111;|Type=imperative 10 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JER_6:6!9|MId=o240060060091|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 11 יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 9 obl _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=JER_6:6!10|MId=o240060060101|Strong=3389 12 סֹלְלָ֑ה סֹלְלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 obj _ Gloss=a.mound|Ref=JER_6:6!11|MId=o240060060111|Strong=5550 13 הִ֚יא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nsubj _ Gloss=that|Ref=JER_6:6!12|MId=o240060060121|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 14-15 הָעִ֣יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JER_6:6!13|MId=o240060060131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 עִ֣יר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 parataxis _ Gloss=city|Ref=JER_6:6!13|MId=o240060060132|Strong=5892 16 הָפְקַ֔ד פָּקַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HOPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 15 acl _ Gloss=it.will.be.visited|Ref=JER_6:6!14|MId=o240060060141|Strong=6485|Frame=A1:240060060132;|Type=qatal 17-18 כֻּלָּ֖הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 כֻּלּ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=of.it|Ref=JER_6:6!15|MId=o240060060151|Strong=3605 18 ָ֖הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=all|Ref=JER_6:6!15|MId=o240060060152|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 19 עֹ֥שֶׁק עֹשֶׁק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 parataxis _ Gloss=[is].oppression|Ref=JER_6:6!16|MId=o240060060161|Strong=6233 20-22 בְּקִרְבָּֽהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_6:6!17|MId=o240060060171|Strong=0871a 21 קִרְבּ קֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=midst|Ref=JER_6:6!17|MId=o240060060172|Strong=7130 22 ָֽהּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=JER_6:6!17|MId=o240060060173|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=JER_6:6!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָמַר *he says* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | כִּרְתוּ *cut down* | imperative · qal | | עֵצָה *wood* | | | | שִׁפְכוּ *pour out* | imperative · qal | | סֹלְלָה *a mound* | | | | הָפְקַד *it will be visited* | qatal · hophal | | עִיר *city* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
