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 — you, God, man — and what happens in the verse to one, nothing, 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. בְּי֤וֹם טוֹבָה֙ הֱיֵ֣ה בְט֔וֹב וּבְי֥וֹם רָעָ֖ה רְאֵ֑ה גַּ֣ם אֶת־זֶ֤ה לְעֻמַּת־זֶה֙ עָשָׂ֣ה הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים עַל־דִּבְרַ֗ת שֶׁלֹּ֨א יִמְצָ֧א הָֽאָדָ֛ם אַחֲרָ֖יו מְאֽוּמָה׃ [In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; God hath made even the one as well as the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/ECC.136/) ## 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:127 # text = בְּי֤וֹם טוֹבָה֙ הֱיֵ֣ה בְט֔וֹב וּבְי֥וֹם רָעָ֖ה רְאֵ֑ה גַּ֣ם אֶת־זֶ֤ה לְעֻמַּת־זֶה֙ עָשָׂ֣ה הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים עַל־דִּבְרַ֗ת שֶׁלֹּ֨א יִמְצָ֧א הָֽאָדָ֛ם אַחֲרָ֖יו מְאֽוּמָה׃ # verse = ECC.7.14 1-2 בְּי֤וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ECC_7:14!1|MId=o210070140011|Strong=0871a 2 י֤וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=a.day|Ref=ECC_7:14!1|MId=o210070140012|Strong=3117 3 טוֹבָה֙ טוֹבָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.good|Ref=ECC_7:14!2|MId=o210070140021|Strong=2896b|Type=adjective 4 הֱיֵ֣ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 cop _ Gloss=be|Ref=ECC_7:14!3|MId=o210070140031|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:210120120031;|Type=imperative 5-6 בְט֔וֹב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ECC_7:14!4|MId=o210070140041|Strong=0871a 6 ט֔וֹב טוֹב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=good|Ref=ECC_7:14!4|MId=o210070140042|Strong=2896|Type=adjective 7-9 וּבְי֥וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ECC_7:14!5|MId=o210070140051|Strong=2050b 8 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ECC_7:14!5|MId=o210070140052|Strong=0871a 9 י֥וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=a.day|Ref=ECC_7:14!5|MId=o210070140053|Strong=3117 10 רָעָ֖ה רָעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.adversity|Ref=ECC_7:14!6|MId=o210070140061|Strong=7451b 11 רְאֵ֑ה רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=consider|Ref=ECC_7:14!7|MId=o210070140071|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:210120120031;|Type=imperative 12 גַּ֣ם גַּם ADV _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=ECC_7:14!8|MId=o210070140081|Strong=1571|Type=affirmation 13 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=ECC_7:14!9|MId=o210070140091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 14 זֶ֤ה זֶה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 18 obj _ Gloss=this|Ref=ECC_7:14!10|MId=o210070140101|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 15-16 לְעֻמַּת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=exactly|Ref=ECC_7:14!11|MId=o210070140111|Strong=3807a 16 עֻמַּת־ עֻמָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=as|Ref=ECC_7:14!11|MId=o210070140112|Strong=5980 17 זֶה֙ זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 16 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=ECC_7:14!12|MId=o210070140121|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 18 עָשָׂ֣ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.has.made|Ref=ECC_7:14!13|MId=o210070140131|Strong=6213|Frame=A1:210070140101;A0:210070140142;|Type=qatal 19-20 הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ECC_7:14!14|MId=o210070140141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 אֱלֹהִ֔ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 nsubj _ Gloss=God|Ref=ECC_7:14!14|MId=o210070140142|Strong=0430 21 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ECC_7:14!15|MId=o210070140151|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 22 דִּבְרַ֗ת דִּבְרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=cause|Ref=ECC_7:14!16|MId=o210070140161|Strong=1700 23-24 שֶׁלֹּ֨א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 שֶׁ שֶׁ SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=ECC_7:14!17|MId=o210070140171|Strong=7578a|Type=relative 24 לֹּ֨א לֹא ADV _ _ 25 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ECC_7:14!17|MId=o210070140172|Strong=3808|Type=negative 25 יִמְצָ֧א מָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 22 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.will.find.out|Ref=ECC_7:14!18|MId=o210070140181|Strong=4672|Frame=A0:210070140192;A1:210070140211;|Type=yiqtol 26-27 הָֽאָדָ֛ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ECC_7:14!19|MId=o210070140191|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 אָדָ֛ם אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 nsubj _ Gloss=humankind|Ref=ECC_7:14!19|MId=o210070140192|Strong=0120 28-29 אַחֲרָ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 אַחֲרָ֖י אַחַר ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=ECC_7:14!20|MId=o210070140201|Strong=0310 29 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=ECC_7:14!20|MId=o210070140202|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 30 מְאֽוּמָה מְאוּמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 25 obj _ Gloss=anything|Ref=ECC_7:14!21|MId=o210070140211|Strong=3972|SpaceAfter=No 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=ECC_7:14!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הֱיֵה *be* | imperative · qal | | | | | | רְאֵה *consider* | imperative · qal | | | | | | עָשָׂה *he has made* | qatal · qal | אֱלֹהִים *God* | זֶה *this* | | | | **not** יִמְצָא *he will find out* | yiqtol · qal | אָדָם *humankind* | מְאֽוּמָה *anything* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
