# Ezekiel 42:5 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Now the upper chambers were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middlemost, in the building.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** upper chambers, galleries · **What happens:** be, take away · **To what, where:** these

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Ezekiel 42:5 · JPS 1917 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 (upper chambers, galleries), 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.
