Ruth 4:4 רוּת

Who acts: I, thou, you, none, Naomi · What happens: think, disclose, say, buy, sit, redeem · To what, where: parcel, me, thee · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Ruth 4:4 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 — I, thou, you, none, Naomi — and what happens in the verse to parcel, me, thee, 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.

וַאֲנִ֨י אָמַ֜רְתִּי אֶגְלֶ֧ה אָזְנְךָ֣ לֵאמֹ֗ר קְ֠נֵה נֶ֥גֶד הַֽיֹּשְׁבִים֮ וְנֶ֣גֶד זִקְנֵ֣י עַמִּי֒ אִם־תִּגְאַל֙ גְּאָ֔ל וְאִם־לֹ֨א יִגְאַ֜ל הַגִּ֣ידָה לִּ֗י וְאֵֽדְעָה֙ כִּ֣י אֵ֤ין זוּלָֽתְךָ֙ לִגְא֔וֹל וְאָנֹכִ֖י אַחֲרֶ֑יךָ וַיֹּ֖אמֶר אָנֹכִ֥י אֶגְאָֽל׃

and I thought to disclose it unto thee, saying: Buy it before them that sit here, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it; but if it will not be redeemed, then tell me, that I may know; for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee.' And he said: 'I will redeem 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

statement

act

request

voice

character

speech

a frame and its quote

negation

yes

the frame alone

decl · assert · none

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

וַאֲנָא אֲמַרִית אַגְלֵי אוּדְנָךְ לְמֵימַר קְנֵי כָּל קֳבֵיל יָתְבֵי תַּרְעָא דְּבֵית דִּינָא דְּסַנְהֶדְּרִין וְכָל קֳבֵיל סָבַיָּא דְּעַמִּי אִם אִית רְעוּתָךְ לְמִפְרַק פְּרוֹק וְאִם לָא אִית רְעוּתָךְ חַוֵּי לִי וְאֶנְדַּע אֲרוּם לָא אִית בָּר מִנָּךְ דְּהוּא רַשָּׁאִי לְמִפְרַק קֳדָמָךְ וּדְהוּא קָרִיב לְמִתַּב כְּוָתָךְ וַאֲנָא אֲרַע מִנָּךְ וּפָרִיקָא אֱהֵא בָּתְרָךְ וַאֲמַר אֲנָא אֶפְרוֹק:

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. and I thought to disclose it unto thee, saying: Buy it before them that sit here, and before the elders of my people.
2. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it; but if it will not be redeemed, then tell me, that I may know; for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee.' And he said: 'I will redeem it.'
