Ecclesiastes 5:10 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: goods, advantage · What happens: increase, eat, be, save · To what, where: goods, beholding

This is Ecclesiastes 5:10 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 — goods, advantage — and what happens in the verse to goods, beholding, 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.

בִּרְבוֹת֙ הַטּוֹבָ֔ה רַבּ֖וּ אוֹכְלֶ֑יהָ וּמַה־כִּשְׁרוֹן֙ לִבְעָלֶ֔יהָ כִּ֖י אִם־רְא֥וּת עֵינָֽיו׃

When goods increase, they are increased that eat them; and what advantage is there to the owner thereof, saving the beholding of them with his eyes?

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

form: wh-question
act: ask
voice: character
speech: inside a quote begun earlier
negation: no

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)
רְבוֹת increases	infinitive construct · qal	טּוֹבָה good
רַבּוּ they increase	qatal · qal	אוֹכְלֶי [those
אוֹכְלֶי [those	participle active · qal		הָ who] consume it

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

בִּזְמָן דִסְגֵי טַבְווָתָא בְּעָלְמָא סְגִיאָן אוּף בְּנֵי אֱנָשָׁא דְּיֵיכְלוּנֵהּ וּמַה הֲנָאָה אִית לְמָרַהָא דְּיִצְבְּרִנַּהּ אִין לָא יַעֲבֵיד מִנַּהּ טִיבוּתָא בְּגִין דִי יֶחֱזֵי בְּעָלְמָא דְּאָתֵי יְהָבִית אַגְרָהָא בְּעֵינוֹי:

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.

When goods increase, they are increased that eat them; and what advantage is there to the owner thereof, saving the beholding of them with his eyes?
