# Ezekiel 23:16 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And as soon as she saw them she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Samaria · **What happens:** see, dote, send · **To what, where:** harlotries, messengers, Chaldea

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Ezekiel 23:16 · 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 (Samaria), 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.
