# Exodus 9:16 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
But in very deed for this cause have I made thee to stand, to show thee My power, and that My name may be declared throughout all the earth.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** I, thee, My · **What happens:** make, stand, show, declare, name · **To what, where:** thee, deed, power, name

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Exodus 9:16 · 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 (I, thee, My), 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.

**Source.** The Holy Scriptures according to the Masoretic Text, Jewish Publication Society, 1917, from eBible.org: public domain. Sentence `jps:EXO:251` 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.
