Ecclesiastes 9:3 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: This, heart, madness, things · What happens: be, do, live, go · To what, where: evil, all, sun, heart, dead

This is Ecclesiastes 9:3 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 — This, heart, madness, things — and what happens in the verse to evil, all, sun, heart, dead, 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.

זֶ֣ה ׀ רָ֗ע בְּכֹ֤ל אֲשֶֽׁר־נַעֲשָׂה֙ תַּ֣חַת הַשֶּׁ֔מֶשׁ כִּֽי־מִקְרֶ֥ה אֶחָ֖ד לַכֹּ֑ל וְגַ֣ם לֵ֣ב בְּֽנֵי־הָ֠אָדָם מָלֵא־רָ֨ע וְהוֹלֵל֤וֹת בִּלְבָבָם֙ בְּחַיֵּיהֶ֔ם וְאַחֲרָ֖יו אֶל־הַמֵּתִֽים׃

This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event unto all; yea also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

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

דֵּין מַזָּל בִּישׁ בְּכָל עַלְמָא דִי יִתְעֲבֵיד תְּחוֹת שִׁמְשָׁא אֲרוּם אִרְעוּן חָד לְכוֹלָא לְכָל דַיָירֵי עַלְמָא וְאַף לִבָּא דִּבְנֵי אֱנָשָׁא אִתְמְלֵי בִישׁ עַל דָּא וְחוּלְחוּלְתָּא בִּלְבָבֵיהוֹן כָּל יוֹמֵי חַיֵּהוֹן וּבָתַר סוֹפוֹהִי דֶּאֱנָשָׁא נְטִיר לֵיהּ לְאִתְוַכְּחָא עִם מֵתַיָּא בְּדִין חַיָּבַיָּא:

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. This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event unto all; yea also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.
