# Deuteronomy 34:1 · JPS 1917, sentence 1 of 2

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Moses, top · **What happens:** go up, be · **To what, where:** plains, Jericho

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Deuteronomy 34:1 · 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: who acts (Moses, top), 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.
