Nehemiah 4:5 · JPS 1917

And our adversaries said: 'They shall not know, neither see, till we come into the midst of them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.'

Who acts: adversaries, we, work · What happens: say, not know, see, come, slay, cause · To what, where: midst, adversaries, work · Speech: someone speaks here

This is Nehemiah 4:5 · 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 (adversaries, we, work), 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.
