H0853–אֵת–et

Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

and thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,

אֵ֛ת 'et “<obj.>”

that every man should let his man-servant, and every man his maid-servant, that is a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free; that none should make bondmen of them, [supplied: to wit], of a Jew his brother.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And all the princes and all the people obeyed, that had entered into the covenant, that every one should let his man-servant, and every one his maid-servant, go free, that none should make bondmen of them any more; they obeyed, and let them go:

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.

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

Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying,

אוֹתָם֙ (אוֹתָ) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

At the end of seven years ye shall let go every man his brother that is a Hebrew, that hath been sold unto thee, and hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And ye were now turned, and had done that which is right in mine eyes, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbor; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

but ye turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom ye had let go free at their pleasure, to return; and ye brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֹתָ֔ם (אֹתָ֔) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

Therefore thus saith Jehovah: ye have not hearkened unto me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim unto you a liberty, saith Jehovah, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth.

אֶתְכֶם֙ (אֶתְ) 'et. “<obj.>”

And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, that have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me, when they cut the calf in twain and passed between the parts thereof;

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life; and their dead bodies shall be for food unto the birds of the heavens, and to the beasts of the earth.

אוֹתָם֙ (אוֹתָ) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, that are gone away from you.

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

Behold, I will command, saith Jehovah, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.

וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of Jehovah, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.

אוֹתָ֔ם (אוֹתָ֔) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”אוֹתָ֖ם (אוֹתָ֖) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;

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

and I brought them into the house of Jehovah, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.

אֹתָם֙ (אֹתָ) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are performed; and unto this day they drink none, for they obey their father's commandment: but I have spoken unto you, rising up early and speaking; and ye have not hearkened unto me.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֵ֖ת 'et “<obj.>”

I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Forasmuch as the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father which he commanded them, but this people hath not hearkened unto me;

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

therefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them; because I have spoken unto them, but they have not heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered.

אֵ֚ת 'et “<obj.>”

And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he commanded you;

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

Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.

אֵ֣ת 'et “<obj.>”

It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.

אֵ֚ת 'et “<obj.>”
