Esther 1:6 אֶסְתֵּר

Who acts: hangings, couches · What happens: be, border · To what, where: hangings

This is Esther 1:6 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 — hangings, couches — and what happens in the verse to hangings, 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 10 chapters of Esther on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

ח֣וּר ׀ כַּרְפַּ֣ס וּתְכֵ֗לֶת אָחוּז֙ בְּחַבְלֵי־ב֣וּץ וְאַרְגָּמָ֔ן עַל־גְּלִ֥ילֵי כֶ֖סֶף וְעַמּ֣וּדֵי שֵׁ֑שׁ מִטּ֣וֹת ׀ זָהָ֣ב וָכֶ֗סֶף עַ֛ל רִֽצְפַ֥ת בַּהַט־וָשֵׁ֖שׁ וְדַ֥ר וְסֹחָֽרֶת׃

there were hangings of white, fine cotton, and blue, bordered with cords of fine linen and purple, upon silver rods and pillars of marble; the couches were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of green, and white, and shell, and onyx marble.

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

וּמִן אִילָנָא לְאִילָנָא הֲווּ פְּרִיסָן יְרִיעָן דְבוּץ גַוָן חִיוָר בְּסַפִּירִין וּכְרַתְנִין וְתִיכְלָא אֲחִידָן בְּאַשְׁלֵי מְטַכְסִין צְבִיעָן בְּאַרְגְוָנָא דַלְיָן עֲלַוֵי אוּנְקַלְוָן דִכְסַף וּדְשַׁרְיָן סְגַלְגַלִין דִכְסַף כְּפִיסָן עֲלַוֵי עַמוּדֵי מַרְמְרִין סַמְקִין יַרְקִין וּבַרְקִין וּמְרוֹקִין וְחִוָרִין אוֹתִיב יַתְהוֹן עֲלַוֵי עַרְסָן דְמֵילָתִין דְמַתְחָן עַל דַרְגְשִׁין דְנַקְלְטֵיהוֹן דִדְהַב טָב וְכַרְעֵיהוֹן דִכְסַף שַׁרְיָן עַל סְטָיו כְּבִישׁ קְרוּסְטָלִיגִין וּמַרְמְרִין וְדוּרָא דִכְּרַכֵּי יַמָא רַבָּא וְאִטוּנִין מְצַיְרִין מַקְפִין לְהוֹן חֲזוּר חֲזוּר:

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.
