# Joshua 22:30 יְהוֹשֻׁעַ

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** thousands, Phinehas, children, altar · **What happens:** be, hear, speak, please · **To what, where:** words, children · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Joshua 22:30 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Nevi'im — the Prophets). 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 — thousands, Phinehas, children, altar — and what happens in the verse to words, children, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Jonathan and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 24 chapters of Joshua on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

[And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation, even the heads of the thousands of Israel that were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them well.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JOS.627/)

## 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.
