Ecclesiastes 11:3 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: clouds, tree · What happens: be, empty, fall · To what, where: clouds, south, place

This is Ecclesiastes 11:3 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 — clouds, tree — and what happens in the verse to clouds, south, 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.

אִם־יִמָּלְא֨וּ הֶעָבִ֥ים גֶּ֙שֶׁם֙ עַל־הָאָ֣רֶץ יָרִ֔יקוּ וְאִם־יִפּ֥וֹל עֵ֛ץ בַּדָּר֖וֹם וְאִ֣ם בַּצָּפ֑וֹן מְק֛וֹם שֶׁיִּפּ֥וֹל הָעֵ֖ץ שָׁ֥ם יְהֽוּא׃

If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if a tree fall in the south, or in the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there shall it be.

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

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

אִין מִתְמַלְיָן עֲנָנַיָּא מִטְרָא עַל אַרְעָא מְעַרָן יָת מַיֵיהוֹן בְּגִין זְכוּתָא דְּצַדִּיקַיָּא וְאִין לֵית זְכוּ בְּדָרָא הַהוּא בְּיַמָּא וּבְמַדְבְּרָא נָחֲתָן דְּלָא יִתְהֲנוּן מִנְּהוֹן בְּנֵי אֱנָשָׁא וְאִי אִתְגְּזַר מִן שְׁמַיָּא לְמִנְפַּל מַלְכָּא וְיָעֲטוֹהִי מִן שְׂרָרוּתְהוֹן מִן קֳדָם מֵימְרָא דִּשְׁמַיָּא הַוֵי וְאִי סוֹבְעָא וְכַפְנָא בִדְרוֹמָא אוֹ בְּצִיפוּנָא אַתֲר דְּאִתְגְּזַר לְמִתְקַיְימָא הַהִיא עֵיטָא תַּמָּן מִשְׁתַּלְחָא לְמֶהֱוֵי:

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. If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if a tree fall in the south, or in the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there shall it be.
