Genesis 32:12

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.

For example, in Genesis 1:1 the word is preceded by בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים (
פֶּן יָב֣וֹא וְהִכַּ֔נִי אֵ֖ם עַל בָּנִֽים
ESV
But you said, 'I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.'“
NIV
But you have said, 'I will surely make you prosper and will make your descendants like the sand of the sea, which cannot be counted.'“
NLT
But you promised me, 'I will surely treat you kindly, and I will multiply your descendants until they become as numerous as the sands along the seashore– too many to count.'“
LXX
