# 2 Chronicles 30:18 · JPS 1917, sentence 1 of 2

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it is written.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** people · **What happens:** not cleanse, eat, write · **To what, where:** people, passover

<!-- .vabout -->
This is 2 Chronicles 30:18 · JPS 1917, sentence 1 of 2 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 (people), 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.
