Ecclesiastes 7:26 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: I, heart, whoso, oppression · What happens: find, be, please, escape, take · To what, where: woman, snares, God, sinner

This is Ecclesiastes 7:26 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 — I, heart, whoso, oppression — and what happens in the verse to woman, snares, God, sinner, 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.

וּמוֹצֶ֨א אֲנִ֜י מַ֣ר מִמָּ֗וֶת אֶת־הָֽאִשָּׁה֙ אֲשֶׁר־הִ֨יא מְצוֹדִ֧ים וַחֲרָמִ֛ים לִבָּ֖הּ אֲסוּרִ֣ים יָדֶ֑יהָ ט֞וֹב לִפְנֵ֤י הָאֱלֹהִים֙ יִמָּלֵ֣ט מִמֶּ֔נָּה וְחוֹטֵ֖א יִלָּ֥כֶד בָּֽהּ׃

and I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands; whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.

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

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)
מוֹצֶא finding	participle active · qal	אֲנִי I	מַר bitter
יִמָּלֵט he escapes	yiqtol · niphal	טוֹב a [person] good
יִלָּכֶד he is captured	yiqtol · niphal		חוֹטֵא a sinner

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

וְאַשְׁכָּחִית אֲנָא פִּתְגָם דִמָרִיד עַל אֱנָשׁ יַתִּיר מִן מְרִיר יוֹם מוֹתָא יָת אִתְּתָא דְּהִיא עַבְדַת עָקִין סַגִּיאִין לְבַעְלָהּ וּמְצָדְתָּן וְתַקְלָן בְּלִבָּהּ כְּפִיתָן יְדָהָא בְּדִיל דְּלָא לְמִפְלַח בְּהוֹן תַּקִין קֳדָם יְיָ גְּבַר דִי יַפְטִיר יָתָהּ בְּגֶּט פְּטּוּרִין וּמִשְׁתְזֵיב מִנָּהּ וְחַיָּבָא קֳדָם יְיָ גְּבַר דְיִסְּבִּנָּהּ וְאִתְלְכַד בִּזְנוּתָהָא:
