Exodus 9:11 שְׁמוֹת

Who acts: magicians, boils · What happens: not stand, be · To what, where: Moses

This is Exodus 9:11 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (The Torah). 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 — magicians, boils — and what happens in the verse to Moses, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Onkelos 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 40 chapters of Exodus on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

וְלֹֽא־יָכְל֣וּ הַֽחַרְטֻמִּ֗ים לַעֲמֹ֛ד לִפְנֵ֥י מֹשֶׁ֖ה מִפְּנֵ֣י הַשְּׁחִ֑ין כִּֽי־הָיָ֣ה הַשְּׁחִ֔ין בַּֽחֲרְטֻמִּ֖ם וּבְכָל־מִצְרָֽיִם׃

And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.

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.

Targum Onkelos

וְלָא יָכִילוּ חָרָשַׁיָא לְמֵיקַם קֳדָם משֶׁה מִן קֳדָם שִׁיחֲנָא אֲרֵי הֲוָה שִׁיחֲנָא בְּחָרָשַׁיָא וּבְכָל מִצְרָאֵי:
