Genesis 34:12

Hebrew
הַרְבּ֨וּ עָלַ֤י מְאֹד֙ מֹ֣הַר וּמַתָּ֔ן וְאֶ֨תְּנָ֔ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר תֹּאמְר֖וּ אֵלָ֑י וּתְנוּ לִ֥י אֶתplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigאֵת

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 (
הַֽנַּעֲרָ֖ לְאִשָּֽׁה
ESV
Ask me for as great a bride price and gift as you will, and I will give whatever you say to me. Only give me the young woman to be my wife.“
NIV
Make the price for the bride and the gift I am to bring as great as you like, and I'll pay whatever you ask me. Only give me the girl as my wife.“
NLT
No matter what dowry or gift you demand, I will gladly pay it– just give me the girl as my wife.“
