Daniel 5:11 · JPS 1917

there is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; and the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and astrologers;

Who acts: man, I, king Nebuchadnezzar · What happens: be, find, say, make · To what, where: spirit, light, man · Speech: someone speaks here

This is Daniel 5:11 · 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 (man, I, king Nebuchadnezzar), 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.
