H0853–אֵת–et

Joash said to all who stood against him, Will you contend for Baal? Or will you save him? he who will contend for him, let him be put to death while [supplied: it is yet] morning: if he be a god, let him contend for himself, because one has broken down his altar.

אוֹת֔וֹ (אוֹת֔) 'o.T “<obj.>”אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Therefore on that day he named him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal contend against him, because he has broken down his altar.

אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

But the Spirit of Yahweh came on Gideon; and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered together after him.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Gideon said to God, If you will save Israel by my hand, as you have spoken,

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

behold, I will put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor; if there be dew on the fleece only, and it be dry on all the ground, then shall I know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you have spoken.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

It was so; for he rose up early on the next day, and pressed the fleece together, and wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Yahweh said to Gideon, The people who are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, My own hand has saved me.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Yahweh said to Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down to the water, and I will try them for you there: and it shall be, that of whom I tell you, This shall go with you, the same shall go with you; and of whoever I tell you, This shall not go with you, the same shall not go.

אוֹתָם֙ (אוֹתָ) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

So he brought down the people to the water: and Yahweh said to Gideon, Everyone who laps of the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, him shall you set by himself; likewise everyone who bows down on his knees to drink.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אוֹתוֹ֙ (אוֹת) 'o.T “<obj.>”

Yahweh said to Gideon, By the three hundred men who lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand; and let all the people go every man to his place.

אֶתְכֶ֔ם (אֶתְ) 'et. “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

So the people took food in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the men of Israel every man to his tent, but retained the three hundred men: and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֵ֣ת (אֵ֣ת) 'Et “<obj.>”וְאֵ֨ת (אֵ֨ת) 'Et “<obj.>”

His fellow answered, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: into his hand God has delivered Midian, and all the host.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

It was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation of it, that he worshiped; and he returned into the camp of Israel, and said, Arise; for Yahweh has delivered into your hand the host of Midian.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

He divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them trumpets, and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

So Gideon, and the hundred men who were with him, came to the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and broke in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

They blew the three hundred trumpets, and Yahweh set every man's sword against his fellow, and against all the host; and the host fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath.

אֵ֣ת 'et “<obj.>”

Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill-country of Ephraim, saying, Come down against Midian, and take before them the waters, as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan. So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and took the waters as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

They took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they killed at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian: and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

God has delivered into your hand the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison with you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

Gideon said, Therefore when Yahweh has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.

He went up there to Penuel, and spoke to them in like manner; and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.

אוֹתוֹ֙ (אוֹת) 'o.T “<obj.>”

He spoke also to the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Gideon went up by the way of those who lived in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and struck the host; for the host was secure.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Zebah and Zalmunna fled; and he pursued after them; and he took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and confused all the host.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

He caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he described for him the princes of Succoth, and the elders of it, seventy-seven men.
