Ecclesiastes 1:6 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: wind · What happens: go, turn about, return · To what, where: south, circuit

This is Ecclesiastes 1:6 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 — wind — and what happens in the verse to south, circuit, 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.

הוֹלֵךְ֙ אֶל־דָּר֔וֹם וְסוֹבֵ֖ב אֶל־צָפ֑וֹן סוֹבֵ֤ב ׀ סֹבֵב֙ הוֹלֵ֣ךְ הָר֔וּחַ וְעַל־סְבִיבֹתָ֖יו שָׁ֥ב הָרֽוּחַ׃

The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it turneth about continually in its circuit, and the wind returneth again to its circuits.

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

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

אָזִיל כָּל סְטַר דָּרוֹמָא בִּימָמָא וּמַחֲזִיר לִסְטַר צִפוּנָא בְּלֵילְיָא אוֹרַח תְּהוֹמָא מַחֲזַר מַחֲזַר וְאָזִיל לְרוּחַ עִיבַר דָּרוֹמָא בִּתְקוּפַת נִיסָן וְתַמּוּז וְעַל סַחֲרָנוֹהִי תָּיֵיב לְרוּחַ עִיבַר צִפוּנָא בִּתְקוּפַת תִּשְׁרִי וְטֵבֵת נָפִיק מֵחֲרַכֵּי מַדִינְחָא בְּצַפְרָא וְאָעֵיל לַחֲרַכֵּי מַעַרְבָא בְּרַמְשָׁא:

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. The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it turneth about continually in its circuit, and the wind returneth again to its circuits.
