Ecclesiastes 2:7 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: I · What happens: acquire, have, bear, be, possess · To what, where: men servants, servants, house, great possessions, all, Jerusalem

This is Ecclesiastes 2:7 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 men servants, servants, house, great possessions, all, Jerusalem, 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.

קָנִ֙יתִי֙ עֲבָדִ֣ים וּשְׁפָח֔וֹת וּבְנֵי־בַ֖יִת הָ֣יָה לִ֑י גַּ֣ם מִקְנֶה֩ בָקָ֨ר וָצֹ֤אן הַרְבֵּה֙ הָ֣יָה לִ֔י מִכֹּ֛ל שֶֽׁהָי֥וּ לְפָנַ֖י בִּירוּשָׁלִָֽם׃

I acquired men-servants and maid-servants, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all that were before me in Jerusalem;

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

קָנִיתִי עַבְדִין וְאַמְהָן מִבְּנֵיהוֹן דְּחָם וּשְׁאַר עַמְמִין נוּכְרָאִין וְגִּזְבָּרִין דִי מְמַנָן עַל מְזוֹנָא דְּבֵיתִי הֲווּ לִי לְפַרְנָסָא יָתִי וְיַת אֵינָשֵׁי בֵיתִי תְּרֵי עֲסַר יַרְחֵי שַׁתָּא וְחַד לְפַרְנָסוּתִי בְּיַרְחָא דְּעִיבּוּרָא אַף קִנְיַן תּוֹרִין וְעָנִין הֲוָה לִי יַתִּיר מִכָּל דָּרַיָּא דִי הֲווּ קֳדָמַי בִּירוּשְׁלֵם:

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

English, JPS 1917

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.

1. I acquired men-servants and maid-servants, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all that were before me in Jerusalem;
