Ecclesiastes 2:4 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: I · What happens: make, build, plant · To what, where: great works, me, houses, vineyards

This is Ecclesiastes 2:4 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 — I — and what happens in the verse to great works, me, houses, vineyards, 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.

הִגְדַּ֖לְתִּי מַעֲשָׂ֑י בָּנִ֤יתִי לִי֙ בָּתִּ֔ים נָטַ֥עְתִּי לִ֖י כְּרָמִֽים׃

I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards;

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

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

אַסְגֵיתִי עוֹבָדִין טָבִין דִירוּשְׁלֵם בָּנִיתִי לִי בָּתִּין בֵּית מוּקְדְּשָׁא לְכַפָּרָא עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל וּבֵית מְקִירַת מַלְכָּא וְאִידְּרוֹן [פָּסִיל לְבֵי מֶדְרָשָׁא דְרַבָּנָן] וְאוּלָם וּבֵית דִּינָא אַבְנִין פְּסִילָן דְּתַמָּן יַתְבִין חַכִּימַיָּא וְדַיְינִין יָת דִּינָא עֲבָדִית כּוּרְסַיָא דְּשֵׁן דְפִילָא לְמוֹתַב מַלְכוּתָא אַנְצֵיבִית לִי כַּרְמִין בְּיַבְנֶה כָּל קֳבֵל כַּרְמִין דְּעִנְבָא לְמִשְׁתֵּי מִנְּהוֹן חַמְרָא אֲנָא וְרַבָּנֵי סַנְהֶדְּרִין וְאַף לְנַסָּכָא חֲמַר חֲדַת וְעַתִּיק עַל מַדְבְּחָא:

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.
