Jeremiah 6:20 יִרְמְיָהוּ

Who acts: frankincense, burnt offerings, sacrifices, Your · What happens: be, come, burn, not be, offer, sacrifice · To what, where: frankincense, Me, Sheba

This is Jeremiah 6:20 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 — frankincense, burnt offerings, sacrifices, Your — and what happens in the verse to frankincense, Me, Sheba, 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.

לָמָּה־זֶּ֨ה לִ֤י לְבוֹנָה֙ מִשְּׁבָ֣א תָב֔וֹא וְקָנֶ֥ה הַטּ֖וֹב מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מֶרְחָ֑ק עֹלֽוֹתֵיכֶם֙ לֹ֣א לְרָצ֔וֹן וְזִבְחֵיכֶ֖ם לֹא־עָ֥רְבוּ לִֽי׃ס

To what purpose is to Me the frankincense that cometh from Sheba, and the sweet cane, from a far country? Your burnt-offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing unto Me.

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.

Targum Jonathan

לְמָא דְנַן קֳדָמַי לְבוֹנְתָא דְמִשְׁבָא תֵיתֵי וְקָנֵי טַבְתָא מֵאַרַע רְחִיקָא עֲלָוָתְכוֹן לָא לְרַעֲוָא וְנִכְסַת קוּדְשֵׁיכוֹן לָא יִתְקַבְּלוּן קֳדָמָי:

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

English, JPS 1917

Each sentence on its own page, with its tree and pragmatics. A sentence that runs on into the next verse is listed under the verse it begins in.

1. To what purpose is to Me the frankincense that cometh from Sheba, and the sweet cane, from a far country?
2. Your burnt-offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing unto Me.
