Ecclesiastes 12:5 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: daughters, terrors, almond tree, grasshopper, caperberry, man · What happens: be, blossom, drag, fail, go · To what, where: way, grasshopper, long home

This is Ecclesiastes 12:5 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 — daughters, terrors, almond tree, grasshopper, caperberry, man — and what happens in the verse to way, grasshopper, long home, 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.

גַּ֣ם מִגָּבֹ֤הַּ יִרָ֙אוּ֙ וְחַתְחַתִּ֣ים בַּדֶּ֔רֶךְ וְיָנֵ֤אץ הַשָּׁקֵד֙ וְיִסְתַּבֵּ֣ל הֶֽחָגָ֔ב וְתָפֵ֖ר הָֽאֲבִיּוֹנָ֑ה כִּֽי־הֹלֵ֤ךְ הָאָדָם֙ אֶל־בֵּ֣ית עוֹלָמ֔וֹ וְסָבְב֥וּ בָשּׁ֖וּקהַסֹּפְדִֽים׃

Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and terrors shall be in the way; and the almond-tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper shall drag itself along, and the caperberry shall fail; because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets;

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

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

אַף מִן עוֹבָדִין דַּהֲווֹ מִן קַדְמַת דְּנָא תְּהֵי דָּחִיל לְמִדְכַּר יָתְהוֹן וְגַּבְשׁוּשִׁיתָא קַלִּילָא מְתִילָא בְּאַנְפֵּי נַפְשָׁךְ לְטוּר רָם בְּעִדָּן מַהַלְכָךְ בְּאוֹרְחָא וְתֵפִיץ רֵישׁ שְׁזַרְתָךְ מִן כְּחִישׁוּתָא כְּשִׁגְדָּא וְיִתְנַפְּחוּן אִסְתַּווְרֵי רִגְלָךְ וְתִתְמְנַע מַשְׁכְּנָא אֲרוּם אִתְפְּנֵי אֱנָשָׁא לִמְהָךְ לְבֵית קְבוּרְתֵיהּ וִיסְחֲרוּן מַלְאֲכַיָּא תָּבְעֵי דִּינָךְ כְּסָפְדַיָּא דִּמְסַחֲרִין בְּשׁוּקָא לְמִכְתַּב דִּין חוּשְׁבָּנָךְ:

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

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.
