Ecclesiastes 6:7 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: labour · What happens: be, not fill · To what, where: appetite

This is Ecclesiastes 6:7 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 — labour — and what happens in the verse to appetite, 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.

כָּל־עֲמַ֥ל הָאָדָ֖ם לְפִ֑יהוּ וְגַם־הַנֶּ֖פֶשׁ לֹ֥א תִמָּלֵֽא׃

All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

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: yes

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)
not תִמָּלֵֽא it will be filled	yiqtol · niphal		נֶּפֶשׁ appetite

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

כָּל טוֹרַח דְגַבְרָא בְּדִיל מְזוֹן פּוּמֵּיהּ הוּא טָרַח וְעַל מֵימַר פּוּמָּא דַּיָי מִתְּזָן וְאַף נַפְשָׁא דֶּאֱנָשׁ לָא תִשְׂבַּע מֵיכְלָא וּמִשְׁתְּיָא:

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.

All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
