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 (
נֶ֖פֶשׁ בְּעָלָ֣יו יִקָּֽח
ESV
Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust gain; it takes away the life of its possessors.
NIV
Such is the end of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the lives of those who get it.
NLT
Such is the fate of all who are greedy for money; it robs them of life.
