# Ezekiel 2:9 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And when I looked, behold, a hand was put forth unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** I, roll · **What happens:** look, put, be, roll · **To what, where:** hand, book

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Ezekiel 2:9 · 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 (I, roll), 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.
