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 ( אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂ֖ה עַבְדֶּ֑ךָ וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אָכִישׁ֙ אֶל דָּוִ֔ד לָכֵ֗ן שֹׁמֵ֧רplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigExamples

* To guard * To protect * To keep * To observe * To attend
The verb שמר occurs about 470 times in the Old Testament.
Central in covenant language. God “keeps” His covenant promises, and His people are called to Deuteronomy 7:9Psalm 121:7Deuteronomy 7:11Psalm 127:1Luke 2:19 לְרֹאשִׁ֛י אֲשִֽׂימְךָ֖ כָּל הַיָּמִֽים
