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

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And I found the book of the genealogy of them that came up at the first, and I found written therein:

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** I · **What happens:** find, come up, write · **To what, where:** book, first

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Nehemiah 7:5 · JPS 1917, sentence 2 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 (I), 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.

This verse in JPS 1917:

<!-- .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.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/NEH.148/)

**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.
