Jeremiah 20:17 יִרְמְיָהוּ

Who acts: LORD, mother, womb · What happens: not slay, be · To what, where: me, womb, grave

This is Jeremiah 20:17 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Nevi'im — the Prophets). 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, mother, womb — and what happens in the verse to me, womb, grave, 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.

אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא־מוֹתְתַ֖נִי מֵרָ֑חֶם וַתְּהִי־לִ֤י אִמִּי֙ קִבְרִ֔י וְרַחְמָ֖הֿ הֲרַ֥ת עוֹלָֽם׃

Because He slew me not from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.

The 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.

MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant. A0 is the one who acts, A1 what the act is done to or is about, A2 a further participant; AA, with a causative verb, the one who makes it happen.

לְוֵי דְלָא אֲמִיר עֲלֵי דְמֵיתֵית מִמְעִין וַהֲוָת לִי פּוֹן אִמִי קִבְרִי וַהֲוֵית כִּדְלָא הֲוֵית:

The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew. Text only: Mova has no Aramaic parser yet.

Because He slew me not from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
