Esther 2:15 אֶסְתֵּר

Who acts: Mordecai, turn, maiden, Hegai, Esther · What happens: take, come, go in, require, appoint, obtain · To what, where: maiden, nothing, favour, sight, women

This is Esther 2:15 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, turn, maiden, Hegai, Esther — and what happens in the verse to maiden, nothing, favour, sight, women, 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.

וּבְהַגִּ֣יעַ תֹּר־אֶסְתֵּ֣ר בַּת־אֲבִיחַ֣יִל דֹּ֣ד מָרְדֳּכַ֡י אֲשֶׁר֩ לָקַֽח־ל֨וֹ לְבַ֜ת לָב֣וֹא אֶל־הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ לֹ֤א בִקְשָׁה֙ דָּבָ֔ר כִּ֠י אִ֣ם אֶת־אֲשֶׁ֥ר יֹאמַ֛ר הֵגַ֥י סְרִיס־הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ שֹׁמֵ֣ר הַנָּשִׁ֑ים וַתְּהִ֤י אֶסְתֵּר֙ נֹשֵׂ֣את חֵ֔ן בְּעֵינֵ֖י כָּל־רֹאֶֽיהָ׃

Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon 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

וְכַד מְטָא סִידוּר אֶסְתֵּר בְּרַת אֲבִיחַיִל אַחְבוּי דְמָרְדְכַי דִי נָסְבָהּ לֵיהּ לִבְרַת לְמֵיעַל לְוַת מַלְכָּא לָא תְבַעַת צְרוֹךְ לְכָל מִדַעַם אֲרוּם אֱלָהֵן יַת מַן דְיֵימַר הֵגַי רַבָּא דִי לְמַלְכָּא נְטַר נְשַׁיָא וַהֲוָת אֶסְתֵּר טְעִינַת טִיבוּ וּמַשְׁכְּחָא רַחֲמִין בְּעֵינֵי כָּל חָזָהָא:

The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew. Text only: Mova has no Aramaic parser yet.
