Lamentations 2:4 אֵיכָה

Who acts: Lord · What happens: bend, stand, slain, be, pour out, infuriate · To what, where: bow, all, fury, tent

This is Lamentations 2:4 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 — Lord — and what happens in the verse to bow, all, fury, tent, 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 5 chapters of Lamentations on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

דָּרַ֨ךְ קַשְׁתּ֜וֹ כְּאוֹיֵ֗ב נִצָּ֤ב יְמִינוֹ֙ כְּצָ֔ר וַֽיַּהֲרֹ֔ג כֹּ֖ל מַחֲמַדֵּי־עָ֑יִן בְּאֹ֙הֶל֙ בַּת־צִיּ֔וֹן שָׁפַ֥ךְ כָּאֵ֖שׁ חֲמָתֽוֹ׃ס

He hath bent His bow like an enemy, standing with His right hand as an adversary, and hath slain all that were pleasant to the eye; in the tent of the daughter of Zion He hath poured out His fury like fire.

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

מָתַח קַשְׁתֵּיהּ וּרְגַם עָלַי גִירִין כִּבְעֵיל דְבָבָא אִתְעַתַּד עַל יַד יְמִינֵיהּ דִנְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר וְסַיְעֵיהּ כְּאִלּוּ הֲוָה מָעִיק לְעַמֵּיהּ יִשְׂרָאֵל וּקְטַל כָּל עוּלֵים וְכָל דִמְרַגְּגִין לַחֲזוֹ עֵינָא בְמַשְׁכַּן כְּנִשְׁתָּא דְצִיּוֹן שְׁדָא כְּבִיעוּר אֶשָּׁא רוּגְזֵיהּ:

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

English, JPS 1917

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.

1. He hath bent His bow like an enemy, standing with His right hand as an adversary, and hath slain all that were pleasant to the eye; in the tent of the daughter of Zion He hath poured out His fury like fire.
