H0853–אֵת–et

Now these are the nations which the Lord kept in the land for the purpose of testing Israel by them, all those who had had no experience of all the wars of Canaan;

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

For the purpose of testing Israel by them, to see if they would give ear to the orders of the Lord, which he had given to their fathers by the hand of Moses.

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

And they took as wives the daughters of these nations and gave their daughters to their sons, and became servants to their gods.

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

And the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and put out of their minds the Lord their God, and became servants to the Baals and the Astartes.

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

So the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the hands of Cushan-rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel were his servants for eight years.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And when the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord, he gave them a saviour, Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

אֵ֚ת 'et “<obj.>”

And the spirit of the Lord came on him and he became judge of Israel, and went out to war, and the Lord gave up Cushan-rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia, into his hands and he overcame him.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then the children of Israel again did evil in the eyes of the Lord; and the Lord made Eglon, king of Moab, strong against Israel, because they had done evil in the Lord's eyes.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Eglon got together the people of Ammon and Amalek, and they went and overcame Israel and took the town of palm-trees.

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

And the children of Israel were servants to Eglon, king of Moab, for eighteen years.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then when the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord, he gave them a saviour, Ehud, the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man; and the children of Israel sent an offering by him to Eglon, king of Moab.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

So Ehud made himself a two-edged sword, a cubit long, which he put on at his right side under his robe.

אוֹתָהּ֙ (אוֹתָ) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

And he took the offering to Eglon, king of Moab, who was a very fat man.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And after giving the offering, he sent away the people who had come with the offering.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Ehud put out his left hand, and took the sword from his right side, and sent it into his stomach;

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Now when he had gone, the king's servants came, and saw that the doors of the summer-house were locked; and they said, It may be that he is in his summer-house for a private purpose.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And they went on waiting till they were shamed, but the doors were still shut; so they took the key, and, opening them, saw their lord stretched out dead on the floor.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

But Ehud had got away while they were waiting and had gone past the stone images and got away to Seirah.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And he said to them, Come after me; for the Lord has given the Moabites, your haters, into your hands. So they went down after him and took the crossing-places of Jordan against Moab, and let no one go across.

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

At that time they put about ten thousand men of Moab to the sword, every strong man and every man of war; not a man got away.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And after him came Shamgar, the son of Anath, who put to death six hundred Philistines with an ox-stick; and he was another saviour of Israel.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord; for he had nine hundred iron war-carriages, and for twenty years he was very cruel to the children of Israel.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Now Deborah, a woman prophet, the wife of Lapidoth, was judge of Israel at that time.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And I will make Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his war-carriages and his forces, come against you at the river Kishon, where I will give him into your hands.

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

And she said, I will certainly go with you: though you will get no honour in your undertaking, for the Lord will give Sisera into the hands of a woman. So Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh.
