Jeremiah 23:38 יִרְמְיָהוּ

Who acts: ye, LORD, I · What happens: say, send, not say, burden · To what, where: burden, word, LORD · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Jeremiah 23:38 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 — ye, LORD, I — and what happens in the verse to burden, word, LORD, 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.

וְאִם־מַשָּׂ֣א יְהוָה֮ תֹּאמֵרוּ֒ לָכֵ֗ן כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה יַ֧עַן אֲמָרְכֶ֛ם אֶת־הַדָּבָ֥ר הַזֶּ֖ה מַשָּׂ֣א יְהוָ֑ה וָאֶשְׁלַ֤ח אֲלֵיכֶם֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר לֹ֥א תֹאמְר֖וּ מַשָּׂ֥א יְהוָֽה׃

But if ye say: 'The burden of the LORD'; therefore thus saith the LORD: Because ye say this word: 'The burden of the LORD', and I have sent unto you, saying: 'Ye shall not say: The burden of the LORD';

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.

negation: yes
the frame alone: decl · assert · none

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.

Targum Jonathan

וְאִם נְבוּאָה בִשְׁמָא דַייָ תֵימְרוּן בְּכֵן כִּדְנַן אֲמַר יְיָ חֲלַף דַאֲמַרְתּוּן יַת פִּתְגָמָא הָדֵין נְבוּאָה בִּשְׁמָא דַייָ וְשַׁלְחֵית לְוַתְכוֹן לְמֵימָר לָא תֵימְרוּן נְבוּאֲתָא מִקָדָם יְיָ:
