Song of Songs 3:3 שִׁיר הַשִּׁירִים

Who acts: watchmen, ye, soul · What happens: go, find, see, love · To what, where: me, soul

This is Song of Songs 3:3 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 — watchmen, ye, soul — and what happens in the verse to me, soul, 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 8 chapters of Song of Songs on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

מְצָא֙וּנִי֙ הַשֹּׁ֣מְרִ֔ים הַסֹּבְבִ֖ים בָּעִ֑יר אֵ֛ת שֶׁאָהֲבָ֥ה נַפְשִׁ֖י רְאִיתֶֽם׃

The watchmen that go about the city found me: 'Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?'

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: assert
voice: character
speech: inside a quote begun earlier
negation: no

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)
מְצָאוּ they	qatal · qal	שֹּׁמְרִים watchmen	נִי found me
סֹּבְבִים around	participle active · qal	שֹּׁמְרִים watchmen
אָהֲבָה one] whom it loves	qatal · qal	נַפְשׁ self
רְאִיתֶֽם have you seen?	qatal · qal	שֹּׁמְרִים watchmen	אָהֲבָה one] whom it loves

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

אֲמַרַת כְּנִשְׁתָּא דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל אַשְׁכַּחוּ יָתִי מֹשֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹן וְלֵיוָאֵי נָטְרֵי מַטְּרַת מֵימְרָא דְּמַשְׁכַּן זִמְנָא דִי מְסַחֲרָן יָתֵיהּ חֲזוֹר חֲזוֹר וּשְׁאֵלִית לְהוֹן עַל עֵיסַק שְׁכִינַת יְקָרָא דַּיָי דִּאִסְתַּלַּקַת מִנִּי אֲתֵיב מֹשֶׁה סָפְרָא רַבָּא דִּיִשְׂרָאֵל וְכֵן אֲמַר אַסַּק לִשְׁמֵי מְרוֹמָא וַאֲצַלֵּי קֳדָם יְיָ מָאִם יְכַפַּר עַל חוֹבֵיכוֹן וְיַשְׁרֵי שְׁכִינְתֵּיהּ בֵּינֵיכוֹן כְּמִלְּקַדְמִין:
