Ecclesiastes 10:18 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: rafters, house · What happens: sink in, leak · To what, where: idleness

This is Ecclesiastes 10:18 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 — rafters, house — and what happens in the verse to idleness, 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.

בַּעֲצַלְתַּ֖יִם יִמַּ֣ךְ הַמְּקָרֶ֑ה וּבְשִׁפְל֥וּת יָדַ֖יִם יִדְלֹ֥ף הַבָּֽיִת׃

By slothfulness the rafters sink in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaketh.

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

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)
יִמַּךְ it comes low	yiqtol · niphal		מְּקָרֶה rafter[s]
יִדְלֹף it leaks	yiqtol · qal	בָּֽיִת house

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

בְחַלָשׁוּת עֵיסַק אוֹרָיְתָא וּפִקוּדַיָּא מִתְמַסְכֵּין גְּבַר מִבִּנֲין וּבְמַכִּיכיוּת תַּפְקִידְתָּא דְּאִתְפַּקְּדַת אִתְּתָא לְמִנְטַּר מִן רִיחוּק סוֹאֲבוּת דְּמָא וְלָא נָטְרָא מִתְעַבְדָא דָּוְתָא בְּגוֹ בֵיתָהּ:

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.

By slothfulness the rafters sink in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaketh.
