| Morphological Notes | Direct object marker particle with 1st person common plural pronominal suffix (accusative function). |
| Rendering Rationale | The particle אֵת functions as a direct object marker; with the 1st common plural suffix it becomes an accusative pronoun meaning the marked direct object 'us.' The rendering preserves the plural first-person morphology inherent in the suffix. |
