Jeremiah 38:7 · JPS 1917

Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, an officer, who was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the pit; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;

Who acts: Ethiopian, Ebed melech, water, king · What happens: be, hear, put, sit · To what, where: house, Jeremiah, pit, gate · Speech: someone speaks here

This is Jeremiah 38:7 · 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 (Ethiopian, Ebed melech, water, king), 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.
