# Nehemiah 9:22 נְחֶמְיָה

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Thou, commandments · **What happens:** give, allot, possess · **To what, where:** kingdoms, commandments, quarter, land

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Nehemiah 9:22 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 — Thou, commandments — and what happens in the verse to kingdoms, commandments, quarter, land, 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 13 chapters of Nehemiah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

[Moreover Thou gavest them kingdoms and peoples, which Thou didst allot quarter by quarter; so they possessed the land of Sihon, even the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/NEH.263/)

## 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.
