Ruth 4:2 רוּת

Who acts: kinsman, ye, men · What happens: take, say, sit down · To what, where: ten men · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Ruth 4:2 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 — kinsman, ye, men — and what happens in the verse to ten men, 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 4 chapters of Ruth on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

וַיִּקַּ֞ח עֲשָׂרָ֧ה אֲנָשִׁ֛ים מִזִּקְנֵ֥י הָעִ֖יר וַיֹּ֣אמֶר שְׁבוּ־פֹ֑ה וַיֵּשֵֽׁבוּ׃

And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said: 'Sit ye down here.' And they sat down.

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.

וּדְבַר עֲשַׂרְתֵּי גוּבְרִין מִסָּבֵי קַרְתָּא וַאֲמַר תִּיבוּ הָכָא וִיתִיבוּ:

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