Ecclesiastes 5:7 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: thou, you, one, higher · What happens: see, not marvel, high, watch, be · To what, where: oppression, matter

This is Ecclesiastes 5:7 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 — thou, you, one, higher — and what happens in the verse to oppression, matter, 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.

אִם־עֹ֣שֶׁק רָ֠שׁ וְגֵ֨זֶל מִשְׁפָּ֤ט וָצֶ֙דֶק֙ תִּרְאֶ֣ה בַמְּדִינָ֔ה אַל־תִּתְמַ֖הּ עַל־הַחֵ֑פֶץ כִּ֣י גָבֹ֜הַּ מֵעַ֤ל גָּבֹ֙הַ֙שֹׁמֵ֔ר וּגְבֹהִ֖ים עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃

If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and the violent perverting of justice and righteousness in the state, marvel not at the matter; for one higher than the high watcheth, and there are higher than they.

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

command

act

request

voice

character

speech

inside a quote begun earlier

negation

yes

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

אִין אֲנִיסוּת מִסְכֵּינִין וּגְזֵילָתָא וְדִין וְצִדְקָתָא תֶּחֱמֵי בְּקַרְתָּא לָא תִתְמַהּ בְּלִבָּךְ לְמֵימַר אֵיכְדֵין רְעוּתָא דַּיָי עַל כָּל אִלֵּין אֲרוּם עַל [אֵל אַדִיר] שְׁמֵי מְרוֹמָא נְטִיר עוֹבָדֵי בְּנֵי אֱנָשָׁא בֵּין טָב לְבִישָׁתָא וּמִן קֳדָמוֹי מִשְׁתַּלְחִין גּוּבְרִין גַוְותָנִין וְתַקִּיפִין לְמִרְדֵּי בְּרַשִּׁיעַיָּא וּלְמֶהֱוֵיהוֹן מִתְמַנַּן רַבָּנִין עֲלַוֵיהוֹן:

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. If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and the violent perverting of justice and righteousness in the state, marvel not at the matter; for one higher than the high watcheth, and there are higher than they.
