# Esther 5:14 אֶסְתֵּר

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Zeresh, gallows, thou, thing, Mordecai · **What happens:** say, let, make, speak, hang, go in · **To what, where:** gallows, thou, Mordecai, Haman · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Esther 5:14 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 — Zeresh, gallows, thou, thing, Mordecai — and what happens in the verse to gallows, thou, Mordecai, Haman, 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 10 chapters of Esther on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

[Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him: 'Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon; then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet.' And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/EST.94/)

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
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.

And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/EST.94/)
