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 (
קַ֖שׁ יָבֵ֣שׁ תִּרְדֹּֽף
ESV
Will you frighten a driven leaf and pursue dry chaff?
NIV
Will you torment a windblown leaf? Will you chase after dry chaff?
NLT
Would you terrify a leaf blown by the wind? Would you chase dry straw?
LXX
KJV
Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
