Ecclesiastes 12:9 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: Koheleth · What happens: be, teach, ponder, seek out, set in · To what, where: knowledge, people, many proverbs

This is Ecclesiastes 12:9 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 knowledge, people, many proverbs, 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.

וְיֹתֵ֕ר שֶׁהָיָ֥ה קֹהֶ֖לֶת חָכָ֑ם ע֗וֹד לִמַּד־דַּ֙עַת֙ אֶת־הָעָ֔ם וְאִזֵּ֣ן וְחִקֵּ֔ר תִּקֵּ֖ן מְשָׁלִ֥ים הַרְבֵּֽה׃

And besides that Koheleth was wise, he also taught the people knowledge; yea, he pondered, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.

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.

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

וְיוֹתֵר מִן כָּל בְּנֵי אֱנָשָׁא הֲוָה שְׁלֹמֹה דִי מִתְקְרֵי קֹהֶלֶת חַכִּים וְתוּב הֲוָה מְאַלֵּיף מַנְדְּעָא יָת עַמָּא בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאַצֵּית לְקָל חַכִּימַיָּא וּבְלַשׁ בְּסִפְרֵי חוּכְמְתָא וּבְרוּחַ נְבוּאָה מִן קֳדָם יְיָ תַּקִין סִפְרֵי חוּכְמְתָא וּמְתִלִין דְּסִכְלְתָנוּ סַגִּיאִין לַחֲדָּא:
