1 Samuel 21:6 · JPS 1917

And David answered the priest, and said unto him: 'Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days; when I came out, the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was but a common journey; how much more then to-day, when there shall be holy bread in their vessels?'

Who acts: David, I, vessels, bread, holy bread · What happens: answer, say, keep, come out, be · To what, where: priest, women, common journey · Speech: someone speaks here

This is 1 Samuel 21:6 · 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, I, vessels, bread), 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.
