Esther 9:24 · JPS 1917

because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast pur, that is, the lot, to discomfit them, and to destroy them;

Who acts: Haman, pur · What happens: devise, destroy, cast, be, discomfit · To what, where: Jews, pur, lot

This is Esther 9:24 · 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 (Haman, pur), 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.
