her
| Morphological Notes | Direct object marker particle (אֵת) with 3rd person feminine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The particle אֵת functions as a direct object marker; with the 3rd feminine singular suffix it forms an accusative pronominal object, thus "her" as the marked, definite recipient of verbal action. English naturally expresses this through the objective pronoun. |
