# Nehemiah 7:5 · JPS 1917, sentence 1 of 2

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** God, genealogy · **What happens:** put, gather, reckon · **To what, where:** heart, nobles, people

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Nehemiah 7:5 · 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 (God, genealogy), 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.

<!-- .ens -->
1. **And my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy.**
2. [And I found the book of the genealogy of them that came up at the first, and I found written therein:](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/NEH.149/)

**The tree and the speech act** come from Mova's cycle: the small model's draft, read by a large model as teacher, passed by Mova's gates (Elamur Cosmic License). **The frames** are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (`prag`) when this page is built, the chapter read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence of the chapter.
