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.

שְׁכָבְתּ֔וֹ מִֽבַּלְעֲדֵ֖י אִישֵֽׁךְ
ESV
But if you have gone astray, though you are under your husband's authority, and if you have defiled yourself, and some man other than your husband has lain with you,
NIV
But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have defiled yourself by sleeping with a man other than your husband“-
NLT
But if you have gone astray by being unfaithful to your husband, and have defiled yourself by having sex with another man–'
