Esther 2:11 אֶסְתֵּר

Who acts: Mordecai, Esther · What happens: walk, know, do, become · To what, where: court · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Esther 2:11 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 — Mordecai, Esther — and what happens in the verse to court, 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.

וּבְכָל־י֣וֹם וָי֔וֹם מָרְדֳּכַי֙ מִתְהַלֵּ֔ךְ לִפְנֵ֖י חֲצַ֣ר בֵּית־הַנָּשִׁ֑ים לָדַ֙עַת֙ אֶת־שְׁל֣וֹם אֶסְתֵּ֔ר וּמַה־יֵּעָשֶׂ֖ה בָּֽהּ׃

And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what would become of 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.

The Targum

וּבְכָל יוֹמָא וְיוֹמָא מָרְדְכַי הֲוָה מְצַלֵי וַאֲזַל קֳדָם דָרְתָא דִי בְבֵית נְשַׁיָא לְמִידַע יַת שְׁלָמָא דְאֶסְתֵּר וּמַה אִתְעֲבֵד בָּהּ:
