him

Rootאוה (ʾ-w-h)
Core Meaningssign, entity, self, marker
Semantic RangeUntranslatable accusative marker indicating a definite direct object; with suffix, translates as 'him, it' (masc.); rarely 'with him'; points out the object of verbs/prepositions.
Conceptual SignificanceAs the frequent marker of definite objects (over 11,000 occurrences), אֵת emphasizes God's precise knowledge and selection of individuals, nations, and creation in acts of providence and election; its aleph-taw span evokes divine completeness from 'Alpha to Omega'.
Morphological NotesHTo/Sp3ms: Hebrew particle 'et' (אֵת) with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix (וֹ), used as accusative marker.
Rendering RationaleThe form אֹתוֹ is a suffixed particle functioning as the definite accusative marker with 3ms pronominal suffix, commonly rendered 'him' in English to indicate the masculine singular direct object; this preserves the grammatical person, number, and gender (Sp3ms) while the root connection to 'entity' or 'self' is implicit in its role of definite object-pointing. The rendering reflects the morphology by using the masculine singular pronoun 'him' directly matching the 3ms suffix.
