Ecclesiastes 1:15 קֹהֶלֶת

What happens: be, not make, not number · To what, where: That

This is Ecclesiastes 1:15 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: what happens in the verse to That, 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.

מְעֻוָּ֖ת לֹא־יוּכַ֣ל לִתְקֹ֑ן וְחֶסְר֖וֹן לֹא־יוּכַ֥ל לְהִמָּנֽוֹת׃

That which is crooked cannot be made straight; and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.

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

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)
not יוּכַל it is able	yiqtol · qal	מְעֻוָּת [that which is] bent
תְקֹן become straight	infinitive construct · qal	מְעֻוָּת [that which is] bent

הִמָּנֽוֹת be numbered	infinitive construct · niphal		חֶסְרוֹן something missing

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

גְּבַר דִּסְרִיכָן אוֹרְחָתֵיהּ בְּעַלְמָא הָדֵין וּמִית בְּהוֹן וְלָא הֲדַּר בִּתְיוּבְתָּא לֵית לֵיהּ רְשׁוּ לִאִיתַקְנָא בָּתַר מוֹתֵיהּ וּגְבַר חֲסַר מִן אוֹרַיְתָא וּפִקוּדַיָּא בְּחַיּוֹהִי בָּתַר מוֹתֵיהּ לֵית לֵיהּ רְשׁוּ לְאִיתְמְנָאָה עִם צַדִּיקַיָּא בְּגִנְּתָא דְּעֵדֶן:

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.

That which is crooked cannot be made straight; and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
