# Genesis 46:6 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him;

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** sons · **What happens:** take, get, come · **To what, where:** cattle, land, Egypt

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Genesis 46:6 · 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 (sons), 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.
