# Joshua 18:11 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families; and the border of their lot went out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** lot, border · **What happens:** come up, accord, go out

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Joshua 18:11 · 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 (lot, border), 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.
