Song of Songs 8:7 שִׁיר הַשִּׁירִים

Who acts: Many waters, floods, man · What happens: not quench, drown, give, contemn · To what, where: love, substance, man

This is Song of Songs 8:7 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 — Many waters, floods, man — and what happens in the verse to love, substance, man, 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.

מַ֣יִם רַבִּ֗ים לֹ֤א יֽוּכְלוּ֙ לְכַבּ֣וֹת אֶת־הָֽאַהֲבָ֔ה וּנְהָר֖וֹת לֹ֣א יִשְׁטְפ֑וּהָ אִם־יִתֵּ֨ן אִ֜ישׁ אֶת־כָּל־ה֤וֹן בֵּיתוֹ֙ בָּאַהֲבָ֔ה בּ֖וֹז יָב֥וּזוּ לֽוֹ׃ס

Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it; if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, he would utterly be contemned.

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

yes

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

אֲמַר מָרֵי עָלְמָא לְעַמֵּיהּ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל אִלּוּלֵי מִתְכַּנְשִׁין כָּל עַמְמַיָּא דִּמְתִילִין לְמוֹי דְּיַמָּא דְּאִנּוּן סַגִּיאִין לָא יָכְלִין לִמְטַפֵּי יָת רַחֲמַי מִנִּיךְ וְאִי מִתְכַּנְּפִין כָּל מַלְכֵי אַרְעָא דִּמְתִילִין לְמוֹי דְּנַהֲרָא דְּנָגֵיד בִּתְקוֹף לָא יָכְלִין לְמִמְחֵי יָתִיךְ מֵעָלְמָא וְאִלּוּלֵי יָהֵיב גְּבַר כָּל מְמוֹן בֵּיתֵיהּ לְמִקְנֵי חָכְמְתָא בְּגָלוּתָא אֲנָא מַהְדַּר לֵיהּ כְּפִיל לְעָלְמָא דְּאָתֵי וְכָל בִּזְּתָא דְּיִבְּזוּן מִן מַשְׁרְיָתֵיהּ דְּגוֹג יְהֵי דִּילֵיהּ:

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. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it; if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, he would utterly be contemned.
