Ecclesiastes 6:6 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, the Targum, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/ECC.6.6/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Ketuvim](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/) / [Ecclesiastes](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/ECC/) / [chapter 6](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/ECC/6/) / 6:6 # Ecclesiastes 6:6 קֹהֶלֶת **Who acts:** soul, you · **What happens:** live, tell, enjoy, not go · **To what, where:** good, one place · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Ecclesiastes 6:6 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 — soul, you — and what happens in the verse to good, one place, 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 12 chapters of Ecclesiastes on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וְאִלּ֣וּ חָיָ֗ה אֶ֤לֶף שָׁנִים֙ פַּעֲמַ֔יִם וְטוֹבָ֖ה לֹ֣א רָאָ֑ה הֲלֹ֛א אֶל־מָק֥וֹם אֶחָ֖ד הַכֹּ֥ל הוֹלֵֽךְ׃ [yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, and enjoy no good; do not all go to one place?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/ECC.116/) ## The tree {#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. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:ECC:107 # text = וְאִלּ֣וּ חָיָ֗ה אֶ֤לֶף שָׁנִים֙ פַּעֲמַ֔יִם וְטוֹבָ֖ה לֹ֣א רָאָ֑ה הֲלֹ֛א אֶל־מָק֥וֹם אֶחָ֖ד הַכֹּ֥ל הוֹלֵֽךְ׃ # verse = ECC.6.6 1-2 וְאִלּ֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ECC_6:6!1|MId=o210060060011|Strong=2050b 2 אִלּ֣וּ אִלּוּ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=if|Ref=ECC_6:6!1|MId=o210060060012|Strong=0432 3 חָיָ֗ה חָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 18 advcl _ Gloss=he.lived|Ref=ECC_6:6!2|MId=o210060060021|Strong=2421|Frame=A0:210060030031;|Type=qatal 4 אֶ֤לֶף אֶלֶף NUM _ Number=Sing 5 nummod _ Gloss=a.thousand|Ref=ECC_6:6!3|MId=o210060060031|Strong=0505|Type=cardinal_number 5 שָׁנִים֙ שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 3 obl _ Gloss=years|Ref=ECC_6:6!4|MId=o210060060041|Strong=8141 6 פַּעֲמַ֔יִם פַּעַם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 3 obl _ Gloss=two.times|Ref=ECC_6:6!5|MId=o210060060051|Strong=6471 7-8 וְטוֹבָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ECC_6:6!6|MId=o210060060061|Strong=2050b 8 טוֹבָ֖ה טוֹבָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 obj _ Gloss=good|Ref=ECC_6:6!6|MId=o210060060062|Strong=2896b|Type=adjective 9 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 10 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ECC_6:6!7|MId=o210060060071|Strong=3808|Type=negative 10 רָאָ֑ה רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he.saw|Ref=ECC_6:6!8|MId=o210060060081|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:210060030031;A1:210060060062;|Type=qatal 11-12 הֲלֹ֛א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 18 advmod _ Gloss=?|Ref=ECC_6:6!9|MId=o210060060091|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 12 לֹ֛א לֹא ADV _ _ 18 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ECC_6:6!9|MId=o210060060092|Strong=3808|Type=negative 13 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ECC_6:6!10|MId=o210060060101|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 14 מָק֥וֹם מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=a.place|Ref=ECC_6:6!11|MId=o210060060111|Strong=4725 15 אֶחָ֖ד אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 nummod _ Gloss=one|Ref=ECC_6:6!12|MId=o210060060121|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 16-17 הַכֹּ֥ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=[are].(the)|Ref=ECC_6:6!13|MId=o210060060131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 כֹּ֥ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 nsubj _ Gloss=all|Ref=ECC_6:6!13|MId=o210060060132|Strong=3605 18 הוֹלֵֽךְ הָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=going|Ref=ECC_6:6!14|MId=o210060060141|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:210060060132;|Type=participle_active|SpaceAfter=No 19 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 18 punct _ Ref=ECC_6:6!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: yes/no question - act: ask - voice: character - speech: speech with no frame - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | חָיָה *he lived* | qatal · qal | | | | | | **not** רָאָה *he saw* | qatal · qal | | טוֹבָה *good* | | | | **not** הוֹלֵֽךְ *going* | participle active · qal | כֹּל *all* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
