Ecclesiastes 7:2 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: that, living · What happens: be, go, lay · To what, where: house, end, oil

This is Ecclesiastes 7:2 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 — that, living — and what happens in the verse to house, end, oil, 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.

ט֞וֹב לָלֶ֣כֶת אֶל־בֵּֽית־אֵ֗בֶל מִלֶּ֙כֶת֙ אֶל־בֵּ֣ית מִשְׁתֶּ֔ה בַּאֲשֶׁ֕ר ה֖וּא ס֣וֹף כָּל־הָאָדָ֑ם וְהַחַ֖י יִתֵּ֥ן אֶל־לִבּֽוֹ׃

It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting; for that is the end of all men, and the living will lay it to his heart.

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

no

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

טָב לְמֵיזַל לִגְבַר אָבֵילָא לְנַחָמוּתֵיהּ מִלְּמֵיזַל לְבֵית מִשְׁתַּיָא דְּחַמְרָא דְּמִתְלָעֲבִין [תַּמָן דִי] בְבֵית אָבֵילָא תַּמָּן הוּא סוֹף כָּל אֱנָשָׁא לְמֵיזַל דְּעַל כּוּלְּהוֹן אִתְגְּזֵרַת גְּזֵירַת מוֹתָנָא וּמִן בִּגְלַל דִּיהָךְ לְבֵית אָבֵילָא גַבְרָא צַדִּיקָא יְתִיב וְיִתֵּין לְלִבֵּיהּ מִלֵּי דְּמוֹתָא וְאִין אִית בִּידֵיהּ מִדָּעַם בִּישׁ יִשְׁבְּקִינֵּיהּ וְיָתִב בִּתְיוּבְתָּא קֳדָם מָרֵי עַלְמָא:

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. It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting; for that is the end of all men, and the living will lay it to his heart.
