Esther 9:31 אֶסְתֵּר

Who acts: queen, Jews, fastings · What happens: confirm, appoint, accord, enjoin, ordain, matter · To what, where: Jews, matters

This is Esther 9:31 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 — queen, Jews, fastings — and what happens in the verse to Jews, matters, 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.

לְקַיֵּ֡ם אֵת־יְמֵי֩ הַפֻּרִ֨ים הָאֵ֜לֶּה בִּזְמַנֵּיהֶ֗ם כַּאֲשֶׁר֩ קִיַּ֨ם עֲלֵיהֶ֜ם מָרְדֳּכַ֤י הַיְּהוּדִי֙ וְאֶסְתֵּ֣ר הַמַּלְכָּ֔ה וְכַאֲשֶׁ֛ר קִיְּמ֥וּ עַל־נַפְשָׁ֖ם וְעַל־זַרְעָ֑ם דִּבְרֵ֥י הַצֹּמ֖וֹת וְזַעֲקָתָֽם׃

to confirm these days of Purim in their appointed times, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had ordained for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry.

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

לְקַיָמָא יַת יוֹמֵי פּוּרַיָא הָאִלֵין בַּאֲדַר בַּתְרָאָה בִּזְמַן עִבּוּרָא הֵיכְמָא דְקַיֵם עֲלֵיהוֹן מָרְדְכַי יְהוּדָאֵי וְאֶסְתֵּר מַלְכְּתָא וְהֵיכְמָא דְקַיְמוּ יְהוּדָאֵי עַל נַפְשְׁהוֹן וְעַל בְּנֵיהוֹן לְמֶהֱוֵיהוֹן דְכִירִין פִּתְגָמֵי צוֹמַיָא וּצְלוּתְהוֹן:

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