Esther 3:12 אֶסְתֵּר

Who acts: Haman, governors · What happens: call, write, accord, command, be, seal · To what, where: scribes, province, silver, name, king Ahasuerus · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Esther 3:12 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 — Haman, governors — and what happens in the verse to scribes, province, silver, name, king Ahasuerus, 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.

וַיִּקָּרְאוּ֩ סֹפְרֵ֨י הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ בַּחֹ֣דֶשׁ הָרִאשׁ֗וֹן בִּשְׁלוֹשָׁ֨ה עָשָׂ֣ר יוֹם֮ בּוֹ֒ וַיִּכָּתֵ֣ב כְּֽכָל־אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּ֣ה הָמָ֡ן אֶ֣ל אֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנֵֽי־הַ֠מֶּלֶךְ וְֽאֶל־הַפַּח֞וֹת אֲשֶׁ֣ר ׀ עַל־מְדִינָ֣ה וּמְדִינָ֗ה וְאֶל־שָׂ֤רֵי עַם֙ וָעָ֔ם מְדִינָ֤ה וּמְדִינָה֙ כִּכְתָבָ֔הּ וְעַ֥ם וָעָ֖ם כִּלְשׁוֹנ֑וֹ בְּשֵׁ֨ם הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵרֹשׁ֙ נִכְתָּ֔ב וְנֶחְתָּ֖ם בְּטַבַּ֥עַת הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃

Then were the king's scribes called in the first month, on the thirteenth day thereof, and there was written, according to all that Haman commanded, unto the king's satraps, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the princes of every people; to every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and it was sealed with the king's ring.

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

וְאִתְקְרִיאוּ לַבְלָרִין דְמַלְכָּא בְּיַרְחָא קַדְמָאָה בִּתְלַת עֲסַר יוֹמִין בֵּיהּ וְאִתְכְּתִיב כְּכָל דִי פַקֵד הָמָן לְוַת אִסְטְרָטִילוֹסֵי מַלְכָּא וּלְוַת הֵפַרְכִין דְמִתְמַנָן אַרְכוֹנִין עַל כָּל פַּלְכַיָא וּפַלְכַיָא וּלְוַת רַבְרְבָנֵי עַמָא וְעַמָא פַּלְכַיָא וּפַלְכַיָא כְּרוֹשֶׁם כְּתָבְהוֹן וְעַמָא וְעַמָא כְּמַמְלַל לִישָׁנֵיהּ בְּשׁוּם מַלְכָּא אֲחַשְׁוֵרוֹשׁ כְּתִיב וּמְפָרֵשׁ וּמִתְחַתֵּם בְּגוּשְׁפַּנְקָא דְמַלְכָּא:

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. Then were the king's scribes called in the first month, on the thirteenth day thereof, and there was written, according to all that Haman commanded, unto the king's satraps, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the princes of every people; to every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and it was sealed with the king's ring.
