# Ezekiel 24:7 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the bare rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** blood, lot · **What happens:** be, set, not pour, cover · **To what, where:** midst, blood, bare rock

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Ezekiel 24:7 · 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 (blood, lot), 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.
