Psalms 78:9 תְּהִלִּים
Who acts: children, archers · What happens: be, handle, turn back · To what, where: archers, bow
This is Psalms 78:9 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 — children, archers — and what happens in the verse to archers, bow, 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 150 chapters of Psalms on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.
בְּֽנֵי־אֶפְרַ֗יִם נוֹשְׁקֵ֥י רוֹמֵי־קָ֑שֶׁת הָ֝פְכ֗וּ בְּי֣וֹם קְרָֽב׃
The children of Ephraim were as archers handling the bow, that turned back in the day of battle.
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.

The Targum
כַּד הֲווּ יָתְבִין בְּמִצְרַיִם אִתְרַבְרְבוּ בְּנֵי אֶפְרַיִם מַנוּ קִצָא וּטְעוּ וּנְפָקוּ תְּלָתִין שְׁנִין קֳדָם קִצָא בְּזֵינֵי קְרָבָא וְגִבָּרָא נַטְלֵי קַשְׁתָּא אַפִּיכוּ קְדַל וְאִתְקְטַלוּ בְּיוֹם סִדְרֵי קְרָבָא:
