Ecclesiastes 6:3 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: man, days, soul, I, untimely birth · What happens: beget, live, be, not have, have, say · To what, where: hundred children, enough, burial · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Ecclesiastes 6:3 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 — man, days, soul, I, untimely birth — and what happens in the verse to hundred children, enough, burial, 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־יוֹלִ֣יד אִ֣ישׁ מֵאָ֡ה וְשָׁנִים֩ רַבּ֨וֹת יִֽחְיֶ֜ה וְרַ֣ב ׀ שֶׁיִּהְי֣וּ יְמֵֽי־שָׁנָ֗יו וְנַפְשׁוֹ֙ לֹא־תִשְׂבַּ֣ע מִן־הַטּוֹבָ֔ה וְגַם־קְבוּרָ֖ה לֹא־הָ֣יְתָה לּ֑וֹ אָמַ֕רְתִּי ט֥וֹב מִמֶּ֖נּוּ הַנָּֽפֶל׃

If a man beget a hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul have not enough of good, and moreover he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better 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

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 יוֹלִיד גְּבַר מְאָה בְּנִין וּשְׁנִין סַגִּיאִין יֵיחֵי וּבְשָׁלְטָנוּתָא וְרַבָּנוּתָא הוּא דִי יהוֹן יוֹמֵי שְׁנוֹהִי וְנַפְשֵׁיהּ לָא שָׂבְעַת מִן טַבְתָא דַּהֲוָת לֵיהּ עַל דִי רְחִים עַל עָתְרֵיהּ וְלָא קְנָא מִנֵּיהּ שְׁמָא טָבָא אַף בֵּית קְבוּרְתָא לָא הֲוָת מְזַמְּנָא לֵיהּ אֲמָרִית אֲנָא בְּמֵימְרִי דְּטָב מִנֵּיהּ שְׁלִילָא דְּלָא חֲזָא עַלְמָא הָדֵין:

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 a man beget a hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul have not enough of good, and moreover he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he;
