Ezra 4:15 · JPS 1917

that search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers; so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time; for which cause was this city laid waste.

Who acts: thou, city, provinces · What happens: make, find, know, be, move, lay · To what, where: search, book, rebellious city, sedition, city, fathers · Speech: someone speaks here

This is Ezra 4:15 · 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 (thou, city, provinces), 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.
