# Exodus 13:5 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which He swore unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** LORD, land, thou · **What happens:** bring, swear, give, flow, keep · **To what, where:** thee, land, service

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Exodus 13:5 · 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 (LORD, land, thou), 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.
