Ecclesiastes 1:4 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: One generation, generation, earth · What happens: pass away, come, abide

This is Ecclesiastes 1:4 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 — One generation, generation, earth — and what happens in the verse, 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.

דּ֤וֹר הֹלֵךְ֙ וְד֣וֹר בָּ֔א וְהָאָ֖רֶץ לְעוֹלָ֥ם עֹמָֽדֶת׃

One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh; and the earth abideth for ever.

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)
הֹלֵךְ [is] going	participle active · qal	דּוֹר a generation
בָּא [is] coming	participle active · qal	דוֹר a generation
עֹמָֽדֶת [is] continuing	participle active · qal	אָרֶץ earth

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

אָמַר שְׁלֹמֹה מַלְכָּא בְּרוּחַ נְבוּאָה דָרָא טָבָא דְצַדִיקַיָא דַאֲזִיל מִן עַלְמָא בְּגִין חוֹבֵי דָּרָא בִּישָׁא דְרַשִׁיעָא דַּעֲתִידִין לְמֵיתֵי בַּתְרֵיהוֹן וְאַרְעָא לְעָלְמֵי עָלְמִין קָיְמָא לְסוֹבָרָא פּוּרְעָנוּתָא דְּאָתֵי עַל עַלְמָא בְּגִין חוֹבֵיהוֹן דִּבְנֵי אֱנָשָׁא:

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

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.

One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh; and the earth abideth for ever.
