And the man shall be clear from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** man, woman · **What happens:** be, bear · **To what, where:** iniquity

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Numbers 5:31 · 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 (man, woman), 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.
