# 2 Chronicles 24:11 דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים ב

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** it, hand, Levites, much money, scribe · **What happens:** be, bring, see, come, empty, take · **To what, where:** chest, place, money, abundance · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is 2 Chronicles 24:11 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Ketuvim — the Writings). The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — it, hand, Levites, much money, scribe — and what happens in the verse to chest, place, money, abundance, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand  the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 36 chapters of 2 Chronicles on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

[And it was so, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king's officers by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the chief priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it back to its place.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.525/) [Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.526/)

<!-- .note -->
Right to left, as the Hebrew is read; a prefix or suffix is a word of its own, and a line under the words joins those written as one. Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss.
