# Genesis 31:37 · JPS 1917, sentence 1 of 2

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Whereas thou hast felt about all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff?

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** thou · **What happens:** feel, find

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Genesis 31:37 · 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 (thou), 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.
