1 Samuel 20:2 · JPS 1917

And he said unto him: 'Far from it; thou shalt not die; behold, my father doeth nothing either great or small, but that he discloseth it unto me; and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.'

Who acts: David, thou, father, sin · What happens: say, not die, do, disclose, hide, not be · To what, where: nothing, sin, thing · Speech: someone speaks here

This is 1 Samuel 20:2 · 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 (David, thou, father, sin), 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.
