Ecclesiastes 6:10 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: Whatsoever, appetite · What happens: come, give, foreknow, contend, be · To what, where: being, name

This is Ecclesiastes 6:10 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 — Whatsoever, appetite — and what happens in the verse to being, name, 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־שֶּֽׁהָיָ֗ה כְּבָר֙ נִקְרָ֣א שְׁמ֔וֹ וְנוֹדָ֖ע אֲשֶׁר־ה֣וּא אָדָ֑ם וְלֹא־יוּכַ֣ל לָדִ֔ין עִ֥ם שֶׁתַּקִּ֖יף מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃

Whatsoever cometh into being, the name thereof was given long ago, and it is foreknown what man is; neither can he contend with Him that is mightier than he.

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: yes

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)
הָיָה has been	qatal · qal	מַה־ whatever
נִקְרָא it has been named	participle active · niphal		שְׁמ name
נוֹדָע [it is] known	participle active · niphal		אָדָם [is] human
not יוּכַל he is able	yiqtol · qal	הוּא he
דִין contend	infinitive construct · qal	הוּא he

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

מַה דַּהֲוָה בְּעַלְמָא הָא כְּבָר אִתְקְרִי שְׁמֵיהּ וְאִשְׁתְּמוֹדַע לִבְנֵי אֱנָשָׁא מִן יוֹמָא דַּהֲוָה אָדָם קַדְמָאָה וְכוֹלָא גְּזֵירַת מֵימְרָא דַּיָי הִיא וְלֵית רְשׁוּ לְגַבְרָא לְמֵיקָם בְּדִינָא עִם מָרֵי עָלְמָא דְּתַקִּיף מִנֵּיהּ:

Whatsoever cometh into being, the name thereof was given long ago, and it is foreknown what man is; neither can he contend with Him that is mightier than he.
