Ecclesiastes 12:10 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: Koheleth · What happens: seek, find out, write, word · To what, where: words, delight, truth

This is Ecclesiastes 12:10 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 — Koheleth — and what happens in the verse to words, delight, truth, 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.

בִּקֵּ֣שׁ קֹהֶ֔לֶת לִמְצֹ֖א דִּבְרֵי־חֵ֑פֶץ וְכָת֥וּב יֹ֖שֶׁר דִּבְרֵ֥י אֱמֶֽת׃

Koheleth sought to find out words of delight, and that which was written uprightly, even words of truth.

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: narrator
speech: narration
negation: no

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)
בִּקֵּשׁ he sought	qatal · piel	קֹהֶלֶת Teacher

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

בָּעָא שְׁלֹמֹה מַלְכָּא דְּמִתְקְרִי קֹהֶלֶת בְּחוּכְמְתֵיהּ לְמֵידָן דִּינִין עַל הִרְהוּרֵי לִבָּא דֶּאֱנָשָׁא וּבְלָא סַהֲדֵי בְּכֵן אִתְאֲמַר לֵיהּ בְּרוּחַ נְבוּאָה מִן קֳדָם יְיָ הָא כְּבָר אִכְתִיב בְּסֵפֶר אוֹרָיְתָא עַל יְדוֹהִי דְּמֹשֶה רַבְּהוֹן דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל תַּקְנִין פִּתְגָמִין וּמְהֵימְנִין עַל מֵימַר סַהֲדַיָּא יְקוּם פִּתְגָם:

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