# Ezekiel 41:15 · JPS 1917, sentence 1 of 2

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And he measured the length of the building before the separate place which was at the back thereof, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, a hundred cubits.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** place, separate place · **What happens:** measure, be · **To what, where:** length, back

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Ezekiel 41:15 · 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 (place, separate place), 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.
