STRONGS H853: Abbreviations
I. אֵת, with makk. אֶתֿ, with suffix אֹתִי; ֽֽֽאֹתְךָ, ֽֽֽאֹתְכָהNumbers 22:33, אֹתָ֑ךְ, אֹתָ֑כָהExodus 29:35, feminine אֹתָךְ; אֹתוֺ etc.; 2nd person plural אֶתְכֶם, once ֽֽֽאוֺתְכֶם Joshua 23:15; 3rd person masculine plural regularly אֹתָם, rarely אֶתְהֶםGenesis 32:1 [Genesis 31:55; Exodus 18:20; Numbers 21:3; Ezekiel 34:12; 1 Chronicles 6:50, once ֽֽֽאוֺתְהֶם Ezekiel 23:45; 3rd person feminine plural, on the contrary, regularly אֶתְהֶן (13 times), once אֹתָן Ezekiel 16:54 (also ֽֽֽאוֺתְהֶן Ezekiel 23:47, אֹתָ֖נָה Exodus 35:26, אוֺתָ֖נָה Ezekiel 34:21); forms with cholem also often written plene: — the mark of the accusative, prefixed as a rule only to nouns that are definite (Moabite id., Phoenician אית i.e. אִיַּת (Schrödp. 213 f.); Aramaic יָת frequently in Targum; Syriac txy very rare as mark of accusative (for which L is preferred), but used often in the sense of substance οὐσία, also in that of self, e.g. ܟܝܳܬܷܗ per se, reapse, ܠܝܳܬܷܗ sibi ipsi, PS1640f., Samaritan VJ; Arabic إِيَّا, only used with suffix, when it is desired to emphasize the pronoun, e.g. Qor 1:4 WAG i. § 189. [Ethiopic uses ኪያ፡ kīyā similarly, Di§ 150 a; but it is dubious if this is etymologically akin.] The primitive form will have been 'iwyath, originally a substantive with following genitive, Olp. 432; whether ultimately a parallel development with אוֺת sign from √ אוה is uncertain: Ol WAG i. § 188 LagM i. 226 affirm, NöZMG 1886, 738 doubts. In Hebrew the ground-form is אוֺת; the forms with ¢, e being abbreviated. In post Biblical Hebrew, used in combination with another preposition: thus בְּאוֺתוֺ הַיּוֺם = Bibl. בַּיּוֺם הַהוּא, בְּאוֺתָהּ הַשָּׁעָה; or as a nomin., e.g. אוֺתוֺ הָאִישׁ = Bibl. הָאִישׁ הַהוּא).
† 1. As mark of the accusative prefixed to substantives defined either by the article (or כֹּל), or by a genitive or pronominal affix, or in virtue of being proper names:
† a. with transitive verbs, Genesis 1:1, 16, 29, 30; Genesis 2:11; Genesis 4:1, 2; Genesis 9:3 (אֶתֽֽֽֿכֹּל׃) etc. Similarly אֶתמִֿי whom (in particular), Joshua 24:15; 1 Samuel 12:3; 1 Samuel 28:11; Isaiah 6:8 and elsewhere (but never אֶתמָֿה); also with זֶה Genesis 29:33; Genesis 44:29; 1 Samuel 21:16; 1 Kings 22:27 +, זֹאת Genesis 29:27; 2 Samuel 13:27 +, אֵלֶּה Genesis 46:18; Leviticus 11:18; Isaiah 49:21 +. So pretty uniformly in prose; but in poetry את is commonly dispensed with. By the use of את with the pronominal affix, a pronoun can at once, if required, be placed in a position of emphasis; let the order of words from this point of view be carefully noticed in the following passages: Genesis 7:1; Genesis 24:14; Genesis 37:4; Leviticus 10:17; Leviticus 11:33; Numbers 22:32 thee I had slain, and her I had kept alive, Deuteronomy 4:14; Deuteronomy 6:13, 23; Deuteronomy 13:5; Judges 14:3 אוֺתָהּ קַח לִי take for me her, 1 Samuel 14:35; 1 Samuel 15:1; 1 Samuel 18:17; 1 Samuel 21:10 אִםאֹֿתָהּ תִּקַּחלְֿךָ קָ֔ח if thou wilt take that, take it, 1 Kings 1:35; 1 Kings 14:9; Isaiah 43:22; Isaiah 57:11; Jeremiah 9:2. So הַאוֺתִיJeremiah 5:22; Jeremiah 7:19. It also sometimes enables the reflexive sense to be expressed (elsewhere נַפְשָׁם) Jeremiah 7:19; Ezekiel 34:2. Rarely with a substantive which is undefined (Ew§ 277 d 2 Ges§ 117, 1, R. 2), as Exodus 21:28; Numbers 21:9; Leviticus 20:14; 1 Samuel 24:6 (but see Dr) 2 Samuel 4:11; 2 Samuel 18:18; 2 Samuel 23:21; or which, though definite, is without the article, Genesis 21:30; 2 Samuel 15:16; Leviticus 26:5; 1 Samuel 9:3 (so Numbers 16:15) Isaiah 33:19; Isaiah 41:7; Ezekiel 43:10 (for further examples see Ew 1.c.)
† b. with a passive verb (Ges§ 121. 1 Ew§ 295 b) conceived as expressing neutrally the action in question, and construed accordingly with an accusative of that which is its real object: examples occur with tolerable frequency from Genesis 4:18 (J) וַיִּוָּלֵד לַחֲנוֺךְ אֶתעֿירָד, Genesis 17:5 (P), לֹא יִקָּרֵא עוֺד אֶתשִֿׁמְךָ אַֽֽֽברָם there shall not be called (=one shall not call) thy name Abram, Genesis 21:5 (E), Genesis 27:42; 2 Samuel 21:11; 1 Kings 18:13; Hosea 10:6 etc., to Jeremiah 35:18; Jeremiah 38:4; Jeremiah 50:20; Ezekiel 16:4, 5; Esther 2:13 (compare DrJPh xi. 227 f.): also with passive verbs of filling (Ew§ 281 b), as Exodus 1:7 +.
† c. with neuter verbs or expressions, especially such as involve the idea of regarding, or treating, appy. by a construction κατὰ σύνεσιν (rare), Joshua 22:17; 2 Samuel 11:25; Nehemiah 9:32 (compare 1 Samuel 20:13 Dr). Once after אֵין, Haggai 2:17; אֵין אֶתְכֶם אֵלַיָֽ.
† d. poet. (si vera lectio), after an abstract noun used with a verbal force, † Habakkuk 3:13 (Amos 4:11; Isaiah 13:19; Jeremiah 50:40 מַהְפֵּכָה exerts a verbal force, like the Arabic nom. verbi [see WAG i. § 196, 43]; and Numbers 10:2; Ezekiel 17:9 לְמַסַּע, לְמַשְׂאוֺת are Aramaizing infinitives: compare Ew§ 239 a).
† 2. את marks an accusative in other relations than that of direct object to a verb:
† a. with verbs of motion (very rare) Numbers 13:17; Deuteronomy 1:19; Deuteronomy 2:7 (to 'walk the wilderness'); denoting the goal Judges 19:18; Ezekiel 21:25 (Ew§ 281 d, n., 282 a 1).
† b. denoting time (duration), also very rare: Exodus 13:7; Leviticus 25:22; Deuteronomy 9:25.
† c. expressing the accusative of limitation (rare): Genesis 17:11, 14; 1 Kings 15:23.
† 3. Chiefly in an inferior or later style, אֵת (or וְאֵת) is used irregularly, partly
(α), as it would seem, to give greater definiteness (so especially וְאֵת) at the mention of a new subject (when it may sometimes be rendered as regards), or through the influence of a neighbouring verb (a construct κατὰ σύνεσιν), or by an anacoluthon, partly
(β) as resuming loosely some other preposition.
Thus
(β) Jeremiah 38:9; Ezekiel 14:22b; Ezekiel 37:19b Zechariah 12:10; סָבִיב אֵת 1 Kings 6:5; Ezekiel 43:17 strangely (in 1 Kings Greek Version of the LXX omits the clause: so StaZAW 1883, 135). — In 1 Kings 11:1 וְ is merely and also, and especially (see וְ); 1 Kings 11:25 is corrupt (read with Greek Version of the LXX זֹאת הָרָעָה אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה הֲדָד); Ezekiel 47:17, 18, 19 read similarly for ואת, זֹאת : see Ezekiel 47:20. — For some particulars as to the use of את, see A. M. WilsonHebraica. vi. 139 ff. 212 ff. (who, however, confuses it sometimes with II. אֵת). For denoting the pronominal object of a verb, את with suffix preponderates relatively much above the verbal affix in P, as compared with J E Deuteronomy Judges Samuel Kings (see GieZAW 1881, 258 f.), — partly, probably, on account of the greater distinctness and precision which P loves.
