Ecclesiastes 7:1 קֹהֶלֶת
Who acts: good name · What happens: be
This is Ecclesiastes 7:1 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 — good name — and what happens in the verse, 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.
ט֥וֹב שֵׁ֖ם מִשֶּׁ֣מֶן ט֑וֹב וְי֣וֹם הַמָּ֔וֶת מִיּ֖וֹם הִוָּלְדֽוֹ׃
A good name is better than precious oil; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
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.

טָב שְׁמָא טָבָא דְּיִקְנוּן צַדִּיקַיָּא בְּעַלְמָא הָדֵין יַתִּיר מִמִשְׁחָא דִרְבוּתָא דַּהֲוָה מִתְרַבֵּי עַל רֵישׁ מַלְכַיָא וְכַהֲנַיָא וְיוֹמָא דְּיִשְׁכּוּב גְּבַר וּמִפְטַר לְבֵית קְבוּרְתָּא בְּשׁוּם טָב וּבִזְכוּתָא מִן יוֹמָא דְּאִתְיְלִיד רַשִּׁיעָא בְּעָלְמָא:
