Ecclesiastes 10:6 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: rich · What happens: set, sit · To what, where: Folly, great heights, low place

This is Ecclesiastes 10:6 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 — rich — and what happens in the verse to Folly, great heights, low place, 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.

נִתַּ֣ן הַסֶּ֔כֶל בַּמְּרוֹמִ֖ים רַבִּ֑ים וַעֲשִׁירִ֖ים בַּשֵּׁ֥פֶל יֵשֵֽׁבוּ׃

Folly is set on great heights, and the rich sit in low place.

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

voice: narrator
speech: narration
negation: no

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)

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

יְהַב יְיָ יָת מַלְכָּא רַשִּׁיעָא וְשָׁטְיָא לְמֶהֱוֵי בְּרִיא בְּמַזָּלֵיהּ וּמְשַׁמֵּישׁ בְּאַצְלָחוּתָא מִן שְׁמֵיה מְרוֹמָא וַחֲיָלוּתוֹהִי גֵּיוְתָנִין וְסַגִּיאִין וְעַמָּךְ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל מִשְׁתַּעְבְּדִין תְּחוֹתוֹהִי בְּגָלוּתָא וּמִן סְגִיאוּת חוֹבֵיהוֹן עַתִּירֵי נִכְסִין מִתְמַסְכְּנִין וּבְמַכִּיכוּתָא יַתְבִין בֵּינֵי עַמְמַיָּא:

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