This verse in JPS 1917:

<!-- .ens -->
1. [And in Jerusalem dwelt certain of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/NEH.323/)
2. **Of the children of Judah: Athaiah the son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalalel, of the children of Perez;**

**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.
