Esther 3:6 אֶסְתֵּר

Who acts: hands, Haman, Jews · What happens: seem, lay, make, know, seek, destroy · To what, where: wrath, hands, Mordecai, people, Jews

This is Esther 3:6 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 — hands, Haman, Jews — and what happens in the verse to wrath, hands, Mordecai, people, Jews, 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.

וַיִּ֣בֶז בְּעֵינָ֗יו לִשְׁלֹ֤חיָד֙ בְּמָרְדֳּכַ֣י לְבַדּ֔וֹ כִּֽי־הִגִּ֥ידוּ ל֖וֹ אֶת־עַ֣ם מָרְדֳּכָ֑י וַיְבַקֵּ֣שׁ הָמָ֗ן לְהַשְׁמִ֧יד אֶת־כָּל־הַיְּהוּדִ֛ים אֲשֶׁ֛ר בְּכָל־מַלְכ֥וּת אֲחַשְׁוֵר֖וֹשׁ עַ֥ם מָרְדֳּכָֽי׃

But it seemed contemptible in his eyes to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai; wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.

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 חוֹךְ קֳדָמוֹי לְאוֹשָׁטָא יְדוֹי לְמִקְטוֹל יַת מָרְדְכַי בִּלְחוֹדוֹהִי אֲרוּם חֲוִיאוּ לֵיהּ דְמָרְדְכַי אָתֵי מִן יַעֲקֹב דְשָׁקַל מִן עֵשָׂו אַבָּא דְאָבוּי דְהָמָן יַת בְּכוּרְתָּא וְיַת בִּרְכָתָא וִיהוּדָאֵי אִינוּן עַמָא דְמָרְדְכַי וּבְעָא הָמָן לְשֵׁיצָאָה יַת כָּל יְהוּדָאֵי דִי בְּכָל מַלְכְּוָת אֲחַשְׁוֵרוֹשׁ עַמָא דְמָרְדְכָי:

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. But it seemed contemptible in his eyes to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai; wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
