# Jeremiah 44:15 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Then all the men who knew that their wives offered unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great assembly, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying:

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** men, wives, women, people · **What happens:** know, offer, stand by, dwell, answer, say · **To what, where:** land, Jeremiah · **Speech:** someone speaks here

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Jeremiah 44:15 · 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 (men, wives, women, 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.
