Esther 2:7 אֶסְתֵּר

Who acts: Nebuchadnezzar, that, Hadassah, maiden, father, Mordecai · What happens: bring up, be, have, look on, take · To what, where: Hadassah, Esther, father, maiden

This is Esther 2:7 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 — Nebuchadnezzar, that, Hadassah, maiden, father, Mordecai — and what happens in the verse to Hadassah, Esther, father, maiden, 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.

וַיְהִ֨י אֹמֵ֜ן אֶת־הֲדַסָּ֗ה הִ֤יא אֶסְתֵּר֙ בַּת־דֹּד֔וֹ כִּ֛י אֵ֥ין לָ֖הּ אָ֣ב וָאֵ֑ם וְהַנַּעֲרָ֤ה יְפַת־תֹּ֙אַר֙ וְטוֹבַ֣ת מַרְאֶ֔ה וּבְמ֤וֹת אָבִ֙יהָ֙ וְאִמָּ֔הּ לְקָחָ֧הּ מָרְדֳּכַ֛י ל֖וֹ לְבַֽת׃

And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter; for she had neither father nor mother, and the maiden was of beautiful form and fair to look on; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own daughter.

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

וַהֲוָה מְרַבֵּי יַת הַדַסָה הִיא אֶסְתֵּר בְּרַת אַחְבוֹי וְאַמַאי הֲווּ קָרִין לָהּ הֲדַסָה עַל דִי הֲוַת צַדֶקְתָּא וְצַדִיקַיָא דִמְתִילוּ לְאַסָא אֶסְתֵּר הֲווּ קָרִין לָהּ עַל דִי הֲוַת צְנִיעָא בְּבֵיתָא דְמָרְדְכַי שַׁבְעִין וַחֲמֵישׁ שְׁנִין וְלָא חֲזָת אַפֵּי גְבַר אֳלָהֵן אַפֵּי מָרְדְכָי דְאִתְעֲבִידַת לָהּ לְתוּרְבֵינָא אֲרוּם לֵית לָהּ אַבָּא וְאִמָא עוּלֵמְתָּא שַׁפִּירַת רֵיווּ וְשַׁפִּירַת חֵיזוּ וּבְעִידַן דְמִית אָבוּהָא אִשְׁתַּאֲרַת בִּמְעִין דְאִמָהּ וְכַד יְלֵידַת יָתָהּ מִיתַת אִמָהּ וְנַסְבָהּ מָרְדְכַי לֵיהּ בְּבֵיתֵיהּ וַהֲוָה קָרֵי לָהּ בְּרַת:

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. And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter; for she had neither father nor mother, and the maiden was of beautiful form and fair to look on; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own daughter.
