Ruth 4:6 רוּת

Who acts: near kinsman, I, thou, mine · What happens: say, not redeem, mar, take, inherit · To what, where: name, own inheritance, right, thee · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Ruth 4:6 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 — near kinsman, I, thou, mine — and what happens in the verse to name, own inheritance, right, 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.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הַגֹּאֵ֗ל לֹ֤א אוּכַל֙ לִגְאָל־לִ֔י פֶּן־אַשְׁחִ֖ית אֶת־נַחֲלָתִ֑י גְּאַל־לְךָ֤ אַתָּה֙ אֶת־גְּאֻלָּתִ֔י כִּ֥י לֹא־אוּכַ֖ל לִגְאֹֽל׃

And the near kinsman said: 'I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance; take thou my right of redemption on thee; for I cannot 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.

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

וַאֲמַר פָּרִיקָא כִּי הֵאי גְּוַנָא לֵית אֲנָא יָכִיל לְמִפְרַק לִי עַל דְּאִית לִי אִתְּתָא לֵית לִי רְשׁוּ לְמִסַּב אוֹחַרָנִיתָא עֲלָהָא דִּלְמָא תְהֵי לְמַצּוּ בְּבֵיתִי וְאֵיהֵי מְחַבֵּיל יָת אַחְסָנְתִי פְּרוֹק לָךְ אַתְּ אֲרוּם לֵית לָךְ אִתְּתָא אֲרוּם לֵית אֲנָא יָכִיל לְמִפְרַק:

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 the near kinsman said: 'I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance; take thou my right of redemption on thee; for I cannot redeem it.' —
