# Haggai 2:1 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying:

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** word · **What happens:** come, say, word · **To what, where:** LORD · **Speech:** someone speaks here

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Haggai 2:1 · 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 (word), 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.
