Ecclesiastes 3:9 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: he · What happens: have, work in, labour · To what, where: profit

This is Ecclesiastes 3:9 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 — he — and what happens in the verse to profit, 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.

מַה־יִּתְרוֹן֙ הָֽעוֹשֶׂ֔ה בַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר ה֥וּא עָמֵֽל׃

What profit hath he that worketh in that he laboureth?

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

מַה מוֹתַר אִית לִגְבַר פְּלַח דִי הוּא טָרַח לְמֶעֱבַד אוֹצְרִין וּלְמִכְנַשׁ מָמוֹן אִלּוּלֵי מִסְתַּיַּע בְּמַזָּלָא דִּלְעֵילָא:

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.
