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 — I, righteous man, wicked man — and what happens in the verse to things, righteousness, life, evil doing, 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. אֶת־הַכֹּ֥ל רָאִ֖יתִי בִּימֵ֣י הֶבְלִ֑י יֵ֤שׁ צַדִּיק֙ אֹבֵ֣ד בְּצִדְק֔וֹ וְיֵ֣שׁ רָשָׁ֔ע מַאֲרִ֖יךְ בְּרָעָתֽוֹ׃ [All things have I seen in the days of my vanity; there is a righteous man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his evil-doing.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/ECC.137/) ## 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:128 # text = אֶת־הַכֹּ֥ל רָאִ֖יתִי בִּימֵ֣י הֶבְלִ֑י יֵ֤שׁ צַדִּיק֙ אֹבֵ֣ד בְּצִדְק֔וֹ וְיֵ֣שׁ רָשָׁ֔ע מַאֲרִ֖יךְ בְּרָעָתֽוֹ׃ # verse = ECC.7.15 1 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=ECC_7:15!1|MId=o210070150011|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 2-3 הַכֹּ֥ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 3 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ECC_7:15!2|MId=o210070150021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 3 כֹּ֥ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obj _ Gloss=everything|Ref=ECC_7:15!2|MId=o210070150022|Strong=3605 4 רָאִ֖יתִי רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.have.seen|Ref=ECC_7:15!3|MId=o210070150031|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:210010120021;A1:210070150022;|Type=qatal 5-6 בִּימֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ECC_7:15!4|MId=o210070150041|Strong=0871a 6 ימֵ֣י יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 obl _ Gloss=the.days|Ref=ECC_7:15!4|MId=o210070150042|Strong=3117 7-8 הֶבְלִ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הֶבְל הֶבֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=my.futility|Ref=ECC_7:15!5|MId=o210070150051|Strong=1892 8 ִ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=ECC_7:15!5|MId=o210070150052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 9 יֵ֤שׁ יֵשׁ ADV _ _ 4 parataxis _ Gloss=there.[is]|Ref=ECC_7:15!6|MId=o210070150061|Strong=3426|Type=demonstrative 10 צַדִּיק֙ צַדִּיק ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 nsubj _ Gloss=a.righteous.[person]|Ref=ECC_7:15!7|MId=o210070150071|Strong=6662|Type=adjective 11 אֹבֵ֣ד אָבַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 10 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[who].perishes|Ref=ECC_7:15!8|MId=o210070150081|Strong=0006|Frame=A0:210070150071;|Type=participle_active 12-14 בְּצִדְק֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ECC_7:15!9|MId=o210070150091|Strong=0871a 13 צִדְק צֶדֶק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=righteousness|Ref=ECC_7:15!9|MId=o210070150092|Strong=6664 14 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=ECC_7:15!9|MId=o210070150093|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 15-16 וְיֵ֣שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ECC_7:15!10|MId=o210070150101|Strong=2050b 16 יֵ֣שׁ יֵשׁ ADV _ _ 4 conj _ Gloss=there.[is]|Ref=ECC_7:15!10|MId=o210070150102|Strong=3426|Type=demonstrative 17 רָשָׁ֔ע רָשָׁע ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nsubj _ Gloss=a.wicked.[person]|Ref=ECC_7:15!11|MId=o210070150111|Strong=7563|Type=adjective 18 מַאֲרִ֖יךְ אָרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 17 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[who].prolongs|Ref=ECC_7:15!12|MId=o210070150121|Strong=0748|Frame=A0:210070150111;|Type=participle_active 19-21 בְּרָעָתֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ECC_7:15!13|MId=o210070150131|Strong=0871a 20 רָעָת רָעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=evil|Ref=ECC_7:15!13|MId=o210070150132|Strong=7451b 21 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=ECC_7:15!13|MId=o210070150133|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=ECC_7:15!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | רָאִיתִי *I have seen* | qatal · qal | | כֹּל *everything* | | | | אֹבֵד *\[who\] perishes* | participle active · qal | צַדִּיק *a righteous \[person\]* | | | | | מַאֲרִיךְ *\[who\] prolongs* | participle active · hiphil | רָשָׁע *a wicked \[person\]* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
