# Ezekiel 18:10 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth to a brother any of these things,

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** man, son, that · **What happens:** beget, be, do · **To what, where:** son, robber, any

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Ezekiel 18:10 · 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 (man, son, that), 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.
