Esther 4:16 אֶסְתֵּר

Who acts: you, Jews, ye, I, king · What happens: go, gather, be, fast, eat, drink · To what, where: Jews, Shushan, like manner

This is Esther 4:16 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 — you, Jews, ye, I, king — and what happens in the verse to Jews, Shushan, like manner, 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.

לֵךְ֩ כְּנ֨וֹס אֶת־כָּל־הַיְּהוּדִ֜ים הַֽנִּמְצְאִ֣ים בְּשׁוּשָׁ֗ן וְצ֣וּמוּ עָ֠לַי וְאַל־תֹּאכְל֨וּ וְאַל־תִּשְׁתּ֜וּ שְׁלֹ֤שֶׁת יָמִים֙ לַ֣יְלָה וָי֔וֹם גַּם־אֲנִ֥י וְנַעֲרֹתַ֖י אָצ֣וּם כֵּ֑ן וּבְכֵ֞ן אָב֤וֹא אֶל־הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹֽא־כַדָּ֔ת וְכַאֲשֶׁ֥ר אָבַ֖דְתִּי אָבָֽדְתִּי׃

'Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day; I also and my maidens will fast in like manner; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish.'

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.

Pragmatics

command

negation

yes

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

אֱזֵיל כְּנוֹס יַת כָּל יְהוּדָאֵי דִי אִשְׁתַּכְּחוּן בְּשׁוּשַׁן וְצוּמוּ עָלַי לָא תֵיכְלוּן וְלָא תִשְׁתּוּן תְּלָתָא יוֹמִין וְצַלוּ קֳדָם מָרֵי עַלְמָא בְּלֵילְיָא וּבִימָמָא וְאוּף אֲנָא וְעוּלֵמָתַי נָצוּם הֵיכְדֵין וּבָתַר כֵּן אֵיעוּל לְוַת מַלְכָּא דְלָא כְדִינָא וְהֵיכְמָא דְהוֹבָדִית מִן בֵּית נְשַׁי וְאִידַבָּרִית מִנָךְ בְּאוֹנְסָא כְּדֵין אוֹבֵד מִן חַיֵי עַלְמָא הָדֵין בְּגִין פּוּרְקַן עַמָא בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל:

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. 'Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day; I also and my maidens will fast in like manner; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish.'
