Job 38:37 אִיּוֹב

What happens: number, pour out · To what, where: clouds, bottles

This is Job 38:37 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: what happens in the verse to clouds, bottles, 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.

מִֽי־יְסַפֵּ֣ר שְׁחָקִ֣ים בְּחָכְמָ֑ה וְנִבְלֵ֥י שָׁ֝מַ֗יִם מִ֣י יַשְׁכִּֽיב׃

Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven,

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

act: ask
voice: character
speech: inside a quote begun earlier
negation: no

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)
יְסַפֵּר will he count	yiqtol · piel	מִֽי־ who?	שְׁחָקִים [the] clouds
יַשְׁכִּֽיב will he make to lie down	yiqtol · hiphil	נִבְלֵי jars			מִי who?

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

מַן יִמְנֵי שִׁבְעָתֵי שְׁמַיָא בְּחוּכְמְתָא וְכִילְוָת שְׁמַיָא מַן יִשְׁרֵי: [ת״‎א] מַן יִמְנֵי כוֹכְבֵי שְׁמַיָא בְּחוּכְמְתָא וַעֲנָנֵי דִמְתִילִין לְזִיקַיָא דִשְׁמַיָא מַן יַשְׁכִּיב:

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