hebrew

The Hebrew אֵת word does not have a corresponding word in English. In Hebrew, it is a marker of the accusative, i.e. the word following it is the object of the sentence. It only ever occurs in conjunction with nouns associated with the definite article הַ.Genesis 1:1
בְּנֵיהֶן֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יָֽלְדוּ לִ֔י הֶעֱבִ֥ירוּ לָהֶ֖ם לְאָכְלָֽה
ESV
For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. With their idols they have committed adultery, and they have even offered up to them for food the children whom they had borne to me.
NIV
for they have committed adultery and blood is on their hands. They committed adultery with their idols; they even sacrificed their children, whom they bore to me, as food for them.
NLT
They have committed both adultery and murder– adultery by worshiping idols and murder by burning as sacrifices the children they bore to me.
