Proverbs 7:23 מִשְׁלֵי

Who acts: arrow, bird · What happens: strike, hasten, not know, be · To what, where: liver, snare, cost · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Proverbs 7:23 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 — arrow, bird — and what happens in the verse to liver, snare, cost, 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 31 chapters of Proverbs on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

עַ֤ד יְפַלַּ֪ח חֵ֡ץ כְּֽבֵד֗וֹ כְּמַהֵ֣ר צִפּ֣וֹר אֶל־פָּ֑ח וְלֹֽא־יָ֝דַ֗ע כִּֽי־בְנַפְשׁ֥וֹ הֽוּא׃פ

Till an arrow strike through his liver; as a bird hasteneth to the snare — and knoweth not that it is at the cost of his life.

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

וְהֵיךְ אַיְלָא דְמַפְרִיחַ גִירָא בְּכַבְדֵיהּ וּמִסְתַּרְהַב הֵיךְ צַפְרָא לְוַת פּוּחָא וְלָא יְדַע דִלְמוֹתָא דְנַפְשֵׁיהּ אָזֵיל:
