Job 38:5 אִיּוֹב

Who acts: thou · What happens: determine, know, stretch · To what, where: measures, line

This is Job 38:5 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 — thou — and what happens in the verse to measures, line, 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.

מִי־שָׂ֣ם מְ֭מַדֶּיהָ כִּ֣י תֵדָ֑ע א֤וֹ מִֽי־נָטָ֖ה עָלֶ֣יהָ קָּֽו׃

Who determined the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who stretched the line upon it?

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

form: wh-question
act: ask
voice: character
speech: inside a quote begun earlier
negation: no

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)
שָׂם did he appoint	qatal · qal	מִי־ who?	מְמַדֶּי measurements
תֵדָע you know	yiqtol · qal

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 שַׁוֵי מְשַׁחְתָהָא אֲרוּם תִּנְדַע אוֹ מִן מְחַת עֲלָהּ מַתְקוֹלְתָּא:

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