Ecclesiastes 2:22 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: wisdom, heart · What happens: have, labour, strive · To what, where: man, sun

This is Ecclesiastes 2:22 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 — wisdom, heart — and what happens in the verse to man, sun, 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.

כִּ֠י מֶֽה־הֹוֶ֤ה לָֽאָדָם֙ בְּכָל־עֲמָל֔וֹ וּבְרַעְי֖וֹן לִבּו֑שֶׁה֥וּא עָמֵ֖ל תַּ֥חַת הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃

For what hath a man of all his labour, and of the striving of his heart, wherein he laboureth under the sun?

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.

The Targum

אֲרוּם מָה הֲנָאָה אִית לֵיהּ לִגְבַר בְּכָל טוֹרְחֵיהּ וּבִתְבִירוּת לִבֵּיהּ דִי הוּא טָרַח תְּחוֹת שִׁמְשָׁא בְּעַלְמָא הָדֵין:

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