and him

Rootאת (ʾ-t)
Core Meaningsentity, self, object, sign
Semantic RangeDirect object marker for definite nouns; with 3ms suffix, translates as 'him/it' (masc.); emphasizes the object's definiteness or specificity in verbal/prepositional contexts.
Conceptual SignificanceAs the most common direct object marker in Biblical Hebrew, אֵת with suffixes like -ô underscores the focus on specific entities in divine-human interactions, enhancing narrative precision in covenants, commands, and prophetic oracles; theologically, it points to God's deliberate engagement with named individuals or peoples.
Morphological NotesHC/To/Sp3ms: Hebrew Conjunction (vav), Particle of direct object (אֵת, contracted), Singular Pronoun 3ms suffix.
Rendering RationaleThe form וְאֹתוֹ is a masculine singular 3ms pronominal suffix on the particle אֵת, functioning as a direct object marker with 'him'; 'and him' preserves the conjunctive vav, the particle's role in marking the definite object, and the 3ms gender/number/person. This rendering highlights the root's sense of 'entity/self' by directly indicating the pointed-out masculine singular referent without unnecessary elaboration.
