Ecclesiastes 1:13 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: I, heart, God · What happens: apply, seek, search out, do, be, give · To what, where: heart, things, heaven, sore task, sons

This is Ecclesiastes 1:13 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Ketuvim — the Writings). 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 — I, heart, God — and what happens in the verse to heart, things, heaven, sore task, sons, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of the Targum 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 12 chapters of Ecclesiastes on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

וְנָתַ֣תִּי אֶת־לִבִּ֗י לִדְר֤וֹשׁ וְלָתוּר֙ בַּֽחָכְמָ֔ה עַ֛ל כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֥ר נַעֲשָׂ֖ה תַּ֣חַת הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם ה֣וּא ׀ עִנְיַ֣ן רָ֗ע נָתַ֧ן אֱלֹהִ֛ים לִבְנֵ֥י הָאָדָ֖ם לַעֲנ֥וֹת בּֽוֹ׃

And I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven; it is a sore task that God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith.

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.

Pragmatics

form

statement

act

assert

voice

character

speech

inside a quote begun earlier

negation

no

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.

The Targum

וּמְסָרִית יַת לִבִּי לְמִתְבַּע אוּלְפַן מִן קֳדָם יְיָ בִּזְמַן דְּאִתְגְּלֵי לִי בְּגִבְעוֹן לְאֲלָּלוּתִי וּלְמִשְׁאַל יָתִי מַה אֲנָא צָבֵי מִנֵּיה וַאֲנָא לָא תְּבָעִית מִנֵּיה אֱלָהֵין חוּכְמְתָא לְמִדַּע בֵּין טַב לְבִישׁ וְסוּכְלְתָנוּ עַל כָּל מַה דְּאִתְעֲבֵיד תְּחוֹת שִׁמְשָׁא בְּעַלְמָא הָדֵין וַחֲזַית כָּל עוֹבָדֵי בְּנֵי אֱנָשָׁא חַיָיבָא גַוָון בִּישׁ דִי יְהַב יְיָ לִבְנֵי אֱנָשָׁא לְאִסְתַּגָּפָא בֵּיהּ:

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. And I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven; it is a sore task that God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith.
