Jeremiah 32:2 יִרְמְיָהוּ

Who acts: army, court · What happens: besiege, shut up, be · To what, where: Jerusalem, Jeremiah, court, king, house

This is Jeremiah 32:2 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 — army, court — and what happens in the verse to Jerusalem, Jeremiah, court, king, house, 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.

וְאָ֗ז חֵ֚יל מֶ֣לֶךְ בָּבֶ֔ל צָרִ֖ים עַל־יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וְיִרְמְיָ֣הוּ הַנָּבִ֗יא הָיָ֤ה כָלוּא֙ בַּחֲצַ֣ר הַמַּטָּרָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֖ר בֵּֽית־מֶ֥לֶךְ יְהוּדָֽה׃

Now at that time the king of Babylon's army was besieging Jerusalem; and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah's house.

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.

Targum Jonathan

בְּכֵן מַשִׁרְיַת מַלְכָּא דְבָבֶל צַיָרִין עַל יְרוּשְׁלֵם וְיִרְמְיָה נְבִיָא הֲוָה כָלֵי בְּדָרַת בֵּית אֲסִירַיָא דִי בְּבֵית מְלַךְ שִׁבְטָא דְבֵית יְהוּדָה:
