# Ezekiel 20:10 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
So I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** I, elders · **What happens:** cause, go, bring · **To what, where:** elders, land, wilderness

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Ezekiel 20:10 · 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 (I, elders), 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.
