Ecclesiastes 5:8 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: profit, king, land · What happens: be, make, profit · To what, where: king, servant

This is Ecclesiastes 5:8 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 — profit, king, land — and what happens in the verse to king, servant, 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.

וְיִתְר֥וֹן אֶ֖רֶץ בַּכֹּ֣ל ה֑וּא מֶ֥לֶךְ לְשָׂדֶ֖ה נֶעֱבָֽד׃

But the profit of a land every way is a king that maketh himself servant to the field.

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: statement
act: assert
voice: character
speech: inside a quote begun earlier
negation: no

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)
נֶעֱבָֽד he has been served	qatal · niphal		מֶלֶךְ a king

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

וּמוֹתַר שְׁבָח פּוּלְחָנוּת אַרְעָא עַל כּוֹלָא הִיא דִּבְעִדָּן דִמְרוֹדִין בְּנֵי מַלְכוּתָא וּמַלְכָּא מִתְיְהֵיב בְּפַצְחֵיהוֹן מִן קֳדָמֵיהוֹן אִין לֵית לֵיהּ עִיבּוּר לְמֵיכַל הַהוּא מַלְכָּא לִגְבַר פָּלַח בְּחַקְלָא מִתְעֲבֵיד עֲבַד מִשְׁתַּעְבֵּד:

The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew. Text only: Mova has no Aramaic parser yet.
