Zechariah 3:8

Hebrew
שְֽׁמַֽע נָ֞א יְהוֹשֻׁ֣עַ הַכֹּהֵ֣ן הַגָּד֗וֹל אַתָּה֙ וְרֵעֶ֨יךָ֙ הַיֹּשְׁבִ֣ים לְפָנֶ֔יךָ כִּֽי אַנְשֵׁ֥י מוֹפֵ֖ת הֵ֑מָּה כִּֽי הִנְנִ֥י מֵבִ֛יא 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 (
עַבְדִּ֖י צֶֽמַח
ESV
Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who sit before you, for they are men who are a sign: behold, I will bring my servant the Branch.
NIV
“'Listen, O high priest Joshua and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic of things to come: I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.
NLT
“Listen to me, O Jeshua the high priest, and all you other priests. You are symbols of things to come. Soon I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.
