Ecclesiastes 5:12 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: grievous evil, I, evil · What happens: be, see, keep, hurt · To what, where: grievous evil, sun, riches

This is Ecclesiastes 5:12 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 — grievous evil, I, evil — and what happens in the verse to grievous evil, sun, riches, 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.

יֵ֚שׁ רָעָ֣ה חוֹלָ֔ה רָאִ֖יתִי תַּ֣חַת הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ עֹ֛שֶׁר שָׁמ֥וּר לִבְעָלָ֖יו לְרָעָתֽוֹ׃

There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept by the owner thereof to his hurt;

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

אִית בִּישׁוּתָא מַרְעִיתָא חֲמִית בְּעָלְמָא הָדֵין תְּחוֹת שִׁמְשָׁא וְלֵית לֵיה אָסוּ גְּבַר דְּיִכְנוֹשׁ עָתְרָא וְלָא עֲבִיד מִנֵּיהּ טָב לְסוֹף יוֹמַיָּא הַהוּא עָתְרָא נְטִיר לֵיהּ לְאַבְאָשָׁא לֵיהּ לְעָלְמָא דְּאָתֵי:
