Song of Songs 8:1 שִׁיר הַשִּׁירִים

Who acts: thou, brother, I, none · What happens: be, suck, find, kiss, despise · To what, where: breasts, thee, me

This is Song of Songs 8:1 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 — thou, brother, I, none — and what happens in the verse to breasts, thee, me, 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.

מִ֤י יִתֶּנְךָ֙ כְּאָ֣ח לִ֔י יוֹנֵ֖ק שְׁדֵ֣י אִמִּ֑י אֶֽמְצָאֲךָ֤ בַחוּץ֙ אֶשָׁ֣קְךָ֔גַּ֖ם לֹא־יָב֥וּזוּ לִֽי׃

Oh that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! When I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, and none would despise me.

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

וּבְהַהוּא זִמְנָא יִתְגְּלֵי מַלְכָּא מְשִׁיחָא לִכְנִשְׁתָּא דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל וְיֵמְרוּן לֵיהּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֱתָא תְּהֵי עִמַּנָא לְאָח וְנִסַּק לִירוּשְׁלֵם וּנְהֵי יָנְקִין עִמָּךְ טַעְמֵי אוֹרַיְתָא הֵיכְמָא דְּיָנֵיק יָנְקָא בְּחַדְיָא דְּאִמֵּיהּ דְּכָל זְמָן דַּהֲוֵיתִי מְטוּלְטְלָא לְבָר מִן אַרְעִי כַּד הֲוֵיתִי דָּכְרָא יָת שׁוּם אֱלָהָא רַבָּא וּמָסְרָה נַפְשִׁי עַל אֱלָהוּתֵיהּ אַף עַמְמֵי אַרְעָא לָא הֲווֹ מְבַזִּין לִי:
