Esther 4:5 אֶסְתֵּר

Who acts: Esther, king, this, sackcloth · What happens: call, appoint, attend, charge, go, know · To what, where: Hathach, king, Mordecai · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Esther 4:5 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, king, this, sackcloth — and what happens in the verse to Hathach, king, 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.

וַתִּקְרָא֩ אֶסְתֵּ֨ר לַהֲתָ֜ךְ מִסָּרִיסֵ֤י הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הֶעֱמִ֣יד לְפָנֶ֔יהָ וַתְּצַוֵּ֖הוּ עַֽל־מָרְדֳּכָ֑י לָדַ֥עַת מַה־זֶּ֖ה וְעַל־מַה־זֶּֽה׃

Then called Esther for Hathach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and charged him to go to Mordecai, to know what this was, and why it was.

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

וּקְרָאַת אֶסְתֵּר לְדָנִיאֵל דְמִתְקְרֵי הֲתָךְ דִי עַל מֵימַר פּוּמֵיהּ מִתְחַתְּכָן פִּתְגָמֵי מַלְכוּתָא וּפַקְדַת לֵיהּ עַל מָרְדְכַי לְמִדַע מַה דֵין קַל בָּכוּתָא דִי הוּא בָּכֵי וְעַל מַה דֵין לָא קַבֵּל לְבוּשֵׁי מַלְכוּתָא דְשַׁדְרַת לֵיהּ:

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 called Esther for Hathach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and charged him to go to Mordecai, to know what this was, and why it was.
