# 2 Chronicles 35:18 דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים ב

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** passover, any, Josiah, Israel · **What happens:** be, keep · **To what, where:** Israel, passover

<!-- .vabout -->
This is 2 Chronicles 35:18 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 — passover, any, Josiah, Israel — and what happens in the verse to Israel, passover, 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 there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did any of the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.850/)

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .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.
