Ecclesiastes 3:11 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: God, man · What happens: make, set, not find out, do · To what, where: thing, world, heart, work, beginning

This is Ecclesiastes 3:11 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 — God, man — and what happens in the verse to thing, world, heart, work, beginning, 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.

אֶת־הַכֹּ֥ל עָשָׂ֖ה יָפֶ֣ה בְעִתּ֑וֹ גַּ֤ם אֶת־הָעֹלָם֙ נָתַ֣ן בְּלִבָּ֔ם מִבְּלִ֞י אֲשֶׁ֧ר לֹא־יִמְצָ֣א הָאָדָ֗ם אֶת־הַֽמַּעֲשֶׂ֛ה אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֥ה הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים מֵרֹ֥אשׁ וְעַד־סֽוֹף׃

He hath made every thing beautiful in its time; also He hath set the world in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God hath done from the beginning even to the end.

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

אֲמַר שְׁלֹמֹה מַלְכָּא בְּרוּחַ נְבוּאָה יָת כּוֹלָא עֲבַד יְיָ שַׁפִּיר בְּעִדָּנֵיהּ דְּחָזְיָא [הֲוַת] מַצּוּתָא דַּהֲוָת בְּיוֹמֵי יָרָבְעָם בַּר נְבָט לְמֶהֱוֵי בְיוֹמֵי שֶׁבַע בַּר בִּכְרִי וְאִתְעַכַּבַת וְהֲוָאַת בְּיוֹמֵי יָרָבְעָם בַּר נְבָט דְּאִלּוּ הֲוָת בְּיוֹמֵי שֶׁבַע בַּר בִּכְרִי לָא הֲוָת מִתְבְּנֵי בֵּית מוּקְדְּשָׁא עַל עֵסַק עִגְלִין דִּדְהַב דַּעֲבַד יָרָבְעָם חַיָּבָא וְשַׁוִּינוּן חַד בְּבֵית אֵל וְחַד בְּדָן וּמַנִּי פְרַזְדָּוָן עַל שְׁבִילָא וּפָסְקוּ עוֹלֵי רִגְלָאִין וּבְגִין כֵּן אִתְעַכַּבַת עַד זְמָן דְּיִתְבְּנֵי בֵּית מוּקְדְּשָׁא בְּגִין דְּלָא יְעַכְּבוּן יִשְׂרָאֵל לְמִבְנֵי יָתֵיהּ אַף יָת שְׁמָא רַבָּא דַּהֲוָת כְּתִיב וּמְפָרַשׁ עַל אֶבֶן שַׁתְיָא כַּסִּי מִנְּהוֹן דְּאִשְׁתְּמוֹדַע קֳדָמוֹהִי יִצְרָא בִּישָׁא דִי בְּלִבְּהוֹן דְּאִלּוּ הֲוָה מְסִיר בְּיַד אֱנָשׁ הֲוָה אֵינָשֵי מְשַׁמֵשׁ בֵּיהּ וּמַשְׁכַּח בְּגַוָהּ מַה דַּעֲתִיד לְמֶהֱוֵי בְּסוֹף יוֹמַיָּא עַד עָלְמֵי עָלְמַיָּא וְאַף יוֹם מוֹתָא כַּסִּי מִנְּהוֹן בְּדִיל דְּלָא יְהוֹדַע לִגְבַר מִן רֵישָׁא מַה דַּעֲתִיד לְמֵיתֵי בְּסוֹפָא:

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. He hath made every thing beautiful in its time; also He hath set the world in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God hath done from the beginning even to the end.
