# Deuteronomy 29:16 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
and ye have seen their detestable things, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were with them —

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** ye, gold · **What happens:** see, be · **To what, where:** detestable things

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Deuteronomy 29:16 · 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 (ye, gold), 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.
