# Ezekiel 8:4 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** glory, I, God · **What happens:** be, accord, see, glory · **To what, where:** vision, plain

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Ezekiel 8:4 · 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 (glory, I, God), 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.
