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. It only ever occurs in conjunction with nouns associated with the definite article הַ.Genesis 1:1
יְר֣וּשָׁלִַ֔ם לִרְא֥וֹת כַּמָּֽה רָחְבָּ֖הּ וְכַמָּ֥ה אָרְכָּֽהּ
ESV
Up! Up! Flee from the land of the north, declares the LORD. For I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, declares the LORD.
NIV
“Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the LORD, “for I have scattered you to the four winds of heaven,” declares the LORD.
NLT
The LORD says, “Come away! Flee from Babylon in the land of the north, for I have scattered you to the four winds.
