Ecclesiastes 3:16 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: I, wickedness · What happens: see, be · To what, where: sun, place · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Ecclesiastes 3:16 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, wickedness — and what happens in the verse to sun, place, 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.

וְע֥וֹד רָאִ֖יתִי תַּ֣חַת הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ מְק֤וֹם הַמִּשְׁפָּט֙ שָׁ֣מָּה הָרֶ֔שַׁע וּמְק֥וֹם הַצֶּ֖דֶק שָׁ֥מָּה הָרָֽשַׁע׃

And moreover I saw under the sun, in the place of justice, that wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there.

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

וְעוֹד חֲזֵית תְּחוֹת שִׁמְשָׁא בְּעָלְמָא הָדֵין אֲתַר בֵּית דִּינָא דְּדַיָינֵי שִׁקְרָא תַּמָּן יְחוֹבוּן לְזַכָּאָה לְמִפַּק חַיָּיבָא בְּדִינֵיהּ וַאֲתַר דְּמִשְׁתְּכַח תַּמָּן גְּבַר זַכַּאי תַּמָּן מִשְׁתְּכַח גַבְרָא חַיָּיבָא לְמִשְׁלַט בֵּיהּ בְּגִין חוֹבֵי דָרָא בִּישָׁא:

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.

And moreover I saw under the sun, in the place of justice, that wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there.
