Job 1:18 אִיּוֹב

Who acts: fire, another, sons · What happens: speak, come, say, eat, drink · To what, where: house, wine · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Job 1:18 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 — fire, another, sons — and what happens in the verse to house, wine, 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 42 chapters of Job on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said: 'Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house;

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

עַד כְּדוּן דֵין מְמַלֵל וְדֵין אֲתָא וַאֲמַר בְּנָךְ וּבְנָתָךְ אָכְלִין וְשָׁתִין חֲמַר בְּבֵית אֲחוּהוֹן בּוּכְרָא:

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

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.
