Ecclesiastes 11:6 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: you, thou, this · What happens: sow, not withhold, not know, prosper, be · To what, where: seed, hand · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Ecclesiastes 11:6 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 — you, thou, this — and what happens in the verse to seed, hand, 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.

בַּבֹּ֙קֶר֙ זְרַ֣ע אֶת־זַרְעֶ֔ךָ וְלָעֶ֖רֶב אַל־תַּנַּ֣ח יָדֶ֑ךָ כִּי֩ אֵֽינְךָ֨ יוֹדֵ֜עאֵ֣י זֶ֤ה יִכְשָׁר֙ הֲזֶ֣ה אוֹ־זֶ֔ה וְאִם־שְׁנֵיהֶ֥ם כְּאֶחָ֖ד טוֹבִֽים׃

In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thy hand; for thou knowest not which shall prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.

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

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)
זְרַע sow	imperative · qal		זַרְע seed
not תַּנַּח give rest to	jussive · hiphil	יָד hand
not יוֹדֵע [are] knowing	participle active · qal	ְךָ you	אֵי where? + זֶה this + זֶה this + טוֹבִֽים [be] good
יִכְשָׁר will it succeed	yiqtol · qal	זֶה this

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

בְּיוֹמֵי עוּלֵימְתָּךְ תִּסַּב אִתְּתָא דְתוֹלֵיד בְּנִין וּלְעִדָּן סִיבוּתָךְ לָא תִשְׁבּוֹק אִתַּת חוּלְקָךְ מִלְּמֵילַד בְּנִין אֲרוּם לָא אִשְׁתְּמוֹדַע לָךְ אֵידֵין מִנְּהוֹן אִתְבְּחַר לְמֶהֱוֵי טָב הָדֵין אֵידֵין אוֹ תַּרְוֵיהוֹן כַּחֲדָּא טַבְיָין:

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.

In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thy hand; for thou knowest not which shall prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
