Esther 2:20 אֶסְתֵּר

Who acts: Esther, Mordecai · What happens: not make, not know, charge, do, bring up, command · To what, where: kindred, Tebeth, commandment, Mordecai · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Esther 2:20 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 — Esther, Mordecai — and what happens in the verse to kindred, Tebeth, commandment, Mordecai, 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.

אֵ֣ין אֶסְתֵּ֗ר מַגֶּ֤דֶת מֽוֹלַדְתָּהּ֙ וְאֶת־עַמָּ֔הּ כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר צִוָּ֥ה עָלֶ֖יהָ מָרְדֳּכָ֑י וְאֶת־מַאֲמַ֤ר מָרְדֳּכַי֙ אֶסְתֵּ֣ר עֹשָׂ֔ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר הָיְתָ֥ה בְאָמְנָ֖ה אִתּֽוֹ׃ס

Esther had not yet made known her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her; for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him —

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

בְּזִמְנָא הֲדָא הֲוָה שָׁאַל לָהּ מַלְכָּא מֵאֵידַן אוּמָא אַתְּ וְלָא הֲוַת אֶסְתֵּר מְחַוְיָא יַלְדוּתָהּ וְיַת עַמָהּ כְּמָא דְפַקֵיד עֲלָה מָרְדְכַי וְיַת מַאֲמַר מָרְדְכַי הֲוַת אֶסְתֵּר עַבְדַת שַׁבַּיָא וּמוֹעֲדַיָא הֲוַת נַטְרַת בְּיוֹמֵי רִיחוּקָהּ הֲוָת מִזְדַהֲרָא תַּבְשִׁילִין וְחַמְרָא דְעַמְמִין נוּכְרָאִין לָא הֲוָת טָעֲמָא וְכָל פִּקוּדַיָא דְאִתְחַיְיבָן בְּהוֹן נְשַׁיָא דְבֵית יִשְׂרָאֵל הֲוָת נָטְרָא עַל פּוּם מָרְדְכַי הֵיכְמָא דַהֲוַת נְטַרַת כַּד הֲוַת מִתְרַבְיָא עִמֵיהּ:

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