Esther 8:6 אֶסְתֵּר

Who acts: I, evil · What happens: endure, see, come, destroy · To what, where: evil, destruction, kindred

This is Esther 8:6 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 — I, evil — and what happens in the verse to evil, destruction, kindred, 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.

כִּ֠י אֵיכָכָ֤ה אוּכַל֙ וְֽרָאִ֔יתִי בָּרָעָ֖ה אֲשֶׁר־יִמְצָ֣א אֶת־עַמִּ֑י וְאֵֽיכָכָ֤ה אוּכַל֙ וְֽרָאִ֔יתִי בְּאָבְדַ֖ן מוֹלַדְתִּֽי׃ס

for how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?'

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.

The Targum

אֲרוּם אֵיכְדֵין אֵכוּל לְסוֹבָרָא וּלְמֶחְמֵי בְּבִישְׁתָּא דִי תִתְדָן יַת עַמִי וְהֵיכְדֵין אֵכוּל לְמִתְעֲתָּדָא וּלְמֶחֱמֵי בְּעִידָן דְיוֹבְדוּן גְנִיסַת יַלְדוּתִי:

The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew. Text only: Mova has no Aramaic parser yet.
