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.

For example, in Genesis 1:1 the word is preceded by בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים (
הַמִּזְבֵּ֗חַ אֶל מוּל֙ אֶ֣רֶץplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigאֶרֶץ

hebrew

The word אֶרֶץ can designate the whole of planet earth, or the inhabitable world or the national territory or ground.
