and (the very)
| Root | את (ʾ-t) |
| Core Meanings | mark, sign, entity, self, definite object marker |
| Semantic Range | marks the definite direct object; emphatic marker of specificity; sometimes conveys "even" or "namely"; occasionally retains a faint sense of "self" or "very." |
| Conceptual Significance | אֵת serves as a marker of definiteness and specificity in biblical narrative and law, highlighting the particularity of persons or things involved in YHWH’s actions. Its consistent use underscores the concreteness and covenantal precision of the biblical text, where specific entities—not abstractions—are addressed and acted upon. |
| Morphological Notes | HC/To: conjunction וְ prefixed to the particle אֵת (direct object marker). Indeclinable particle; no gender, number, or person. Functions syntactically to mark a definite direct object. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to the direct object marker אֵת. While אֵת is often untranslated in English, its demonstrative force points out "the very" definite object of the verb. Rendering it as "and (the very)" preserves both the conjunctive function and the root sense of marking a specific, definite entity. |
