# 1 Chronicles 25:9 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph; the second to Gedaliah; he and his brethren and sons were twelve;

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** first lot, Joseph · **What happens:** come, be · **To what, where:** Joseph, twelve

<!-- .vabout -->
This is 1 Chronicles 25:9 · 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 (first lot, Joseph), 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.
