Ecclesiastes 7:29 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: I, God, men · What happens: find, make, seek out · To what, where: this, man, many inventions · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Ecclesiastes 7:29 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, God, men — and what happens in the verse to this, man, many inventions, 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.

לְבַד֙ רְאֵה־זֶ֣ה מָצָ֔אתִי אֲשֶׁ֨ר עָשָׂ֧ה הָאֱלֹהִ֛ים אֶת־הָאָדָ֖ם יָשָׁ֑ר וְהֵ֥מָּה בִקְשׁ֖וּ חִשְּׁבֹנ֥וֹת רַבִּֽים׃

Behold, this only have I found, that God made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

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.

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

לְחוֹד חֲזֵי דֵין אַשְׁכָּחִית דִי עֲבַד יְיָ יָת אָדָם קַדְמָאָה תָּקִין קֳדָמוֹי וְזַכַּאי וְחִוְיָא וְחַוָּה [אִינְהוּ] אַטְעֲיוּ לְמֵיכַל מִן פֵּירַיָא דְאִילָנָא דְאָכְלִין פֵּירוֹי חַכִּימִין לְמִדַּע בֵּין טָב לְבִישׁ וְגָרְמוּ לְאִסְתַּקָּפָא עֲלוֹהִי יוֹם מוֹתָא וּלְכָל דָרֵי עַלְמָא וְאִנּוּן תְּבָעוּ לְמַשְׁכַּח חֶשְׁבּוֹנִין סַגִּיאִין בְּגִין לְאַיְתָאָה מַחְתָא עַל דַיָירֵי אַרְעָא:

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.

Behold, this only have I found, that God made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
