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.

ESV
and bring your youngest brother to me. So your words will be verified, and you shall not die.“ And they did so.

NLT
But you must bring your youngest brother back to me. This will prove that you are telling the truth, and you will not die.“ To this they agreed.
