Ecclesiastes 7:13 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: you, God · What happens: consider, make, work · To what, where: work, that

This is Ecclesiastes 7:13 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 — you, God — and what happens in the verse to work, that, 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.

רְאֵ֖ה אֶת־מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים כִּ֣י מִ֤י יוּכַל֙ לְתַקֵּ֔ן אֵ֖ת אֲשֶׁ֥ר עִוְּתֽוֹ׃

Consider the work of God; for who can make that straight, which He hath made crooked?

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: command
act: request
voice: character
speech: inside a quote begun earlier
negation: no

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)

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

הֲוִי מִסְתַּכַּל יָת עוֹבָדָא דַּיָי וּגְבוּרְתֵיהּ דִי עֲבַד יָת סַמְיָא וְיָת גְבִינָא וְיָת חֲגִירָא לְמֶהֱוֵיהוֹן פְּרִישָׁן בְּעָלְמָא אֲרוּם מַן הוּא חַכִּימָא דִי יָכִיל לְתַקָּנָא יָת חַד מִנְּהוֹן אֱלָהֵין מָרֵי עָלְמָא דִי עִוְתֵיה:

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

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.

Consider the work of God; for who can make that straight, which He hath made crooked?
