# Isaiah 21:13 · JPS 1917, sentence 1 of 2

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
The burden upon Arabia.

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Isaiah 21:13 · JPS 1917, sentence 1 of 2 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: 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.

This verse in JPS 1917:

1. **The burden upon Arabia.**
2. [In the thickets in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye caravans of Dedanites.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.435/)

**Source.** The Holy Scriptures according to the Masoretic Text, Jewish Publication Society, 1917, from eBible.org: public domain. Sentence `jps:ISA:434` of Mova's parse database.

**The tree and the speech act** come from Mova's cycle: the small model's draft, read by a large model as teacher, passed by Mova's gates (Elamur Cosmic License). **The frames** are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (`prag`) when this page is built, the chapter read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence of the chapter.
