# Exodus 37:7 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And he made two cherubim of gold: of beaten work made he them, at the two ends of the ark-cover:

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Bezalel · **What happens:** make, beat · **To what, where:** two cherubim, cherubim, two ends

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Exodus 37:7 · 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 (Bezalel), 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.
