Ecclesiastes 11:2 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: you, thou, evil · What happens: divide, not know, be · To what, where: portion, seven · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Ecclesiastes 11:2 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 — you, thou, evil — and what happens in the verse to portion, seven, 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.

תֶּן־חֵ֥לֶק לְשִׁבְעָ֖ה וְגַ֣ם לִשְׁמוֹנָ֑ה כִּ֚י לֹ֣א תֵדַ֔ע מַה־יִּהְיֶ֥ה רָעָ֖ה עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

Divide a portion into seven, yea, even into eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.

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: command
act: request
voice: character
speech: inside a quote begun earlier
negation: yes

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

הַב חוּלַק טַב מִן זַרְעָא לְחַקְלָךְ בְּתִשְׁרִי וְלָא תִתְמְנַע מִלְּמִזְרַע אַף בְּכִסְלֵו אֲרוּם לָא תִנְדַע מָה יְהֵי בִּישָׁא עִלַוֵי אַרְעָא אִי חָרְפֵי נִצְחָן אִי אֲפֵילֵי:

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.

Divide a portion into seven, yea, even into eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
