### Returns

| Type                                                                 | Description                                               |

| [JobHandle](/engine/7000.0/script-reference/unity/jobs/jobhandle.md) | The new combined job handle for the query's dependencies. |

### Remarks

An entity query uses jobs internally when required to create arrays of entities and chunks. This junction adds an external job as a dependency for those internal jobs.
