2 Chronicles 2:5 · JPS 1917

But who is able to build Him a house, seeing the heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain Him? who am I then, that I should build Him a house, save only to offer before Him?

Who acts: heaven, I · What happens: be, build, see, not contain, offer · To what, where: house, God · Speech: someone speaks here

This is 2 Chronicles 2:5 · JPS 1917 in the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, from Mova's open Bible corpus. The page gives the sentence's syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, parsed by Mova and checked by a teacher model — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (heaven, I), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it. The original of the verse links back to its own tree and to the Targum.

One row per clause the reader finds. «not said here»: a role filled from the clause above. «roles by»: a VerbNet class and frame when one fits the verb, else the reader's rules on the tree.
