# Numbers 25:19 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And it came to pass after the plague, (26-1) that the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying:

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** plague, LORD · **What happens:** come, pass, speak, say · **Speech:** someone speaks here

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Numbers 25:19 · 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 (plague, LORD), 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.
