H0853–אֵת–et

But Joash said to all those who were attacking him, Will you take up the cause of Baal? will you be his saviour? Let anyone who will take up his cause be put to death while it is still morning: if he is a god, let him take up his cause himself because of

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

So that day he gave him the name of Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal take up his cause against him because his altar has been broken down.

But the spirit of the Lord came on Gideon; and at the sound of his horn all Abiezer came together after him.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then Gideon said to God, If you are going to give Israel salvation by my hand, as you have said,

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

See, I will put the wool of a sheep on the grain-floor; if there is dew on the wool only, while all the earth is dry, then I will be certain that it is your purpose to give Israel salvation by my hand as you have said.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And it was so: for he got up early on the morning after, and twisting the wool in his hands, he got a basin full of water from the dew on the wool.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the Lord said to Gideon, So great is the number of your people, that if I give the Midianites into their hands they will be uplifted in pride over me and will say, I myself have been my saviour.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then the Lord said to Gideon, There are still more people than is necessary; take them down to the water so that I may put them to the test for you there; then whoever I say is to go with you will go, and whoever I say is not to go will not go.

אוֹתָם֙ (אוֹתָ) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

So he took the people down to the water; and the Lord said to Gideon, Put on one side by themselves all those drinking up the water with their tongues like a dog; and in the same way, all those who go down on their knees to the water while drinking.

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

And the Lord said to Gideon, By those three hundred who were drinking with their tongues I will give you salvation and give the Midianites into your hands; let the rest of the people go away, every man to his place.

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

So they took the vessels of the people, and their horns from their hands, and he sent them away, every man to his tent, keeping only the three hundred; and the tents of Midian were lower down in the valley.

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

And his friend in answer said, This is certainly the sword of Gideon, the son of Joash, the men of Israel: into their hands God has given up all the army of Midian.

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

Then Gideon, hearing the story of the dream and the sense in which they took it, gave worship; then he went back to the tents of Israel, and said, Up! for the Lord has given the army of Midian into your hands.

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

Then separating the three hundred men into three bands, he gave every man a horn, and a vessel in which was a flaming branch.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

So Gideon and the three hundred men who were with him came to the outer line of tents, at the start of the middle watch, when the watchmen had only then taken their stations; and the horns were sounded and the vessels broken.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the three hundred gave a loud note on their horns, and every man's sword was turned by the Lord against his brother all through the army; and the army went in flight as far as Beth-shittah in the direction of Zeredah, to the edge of Abel-meholah by T

Then Gideon sent through all the hill-country of Ephraim saying, Come down against Midian, and keep the ways across Jordan before they come. So all the men of Ephraim, massing themselves together, kept the ways across Jordan.

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

And they took the two chiefs of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they put Oreb to death at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they put to death at the place of the grape-crushing in Zeeb, and they went after Midian; but the heads of Oreb and Zeeb they took across Jord

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

God has given into your hands the chiefs of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; what have I been able to do in comparison with you? And when he said this, their feeling about him became kinder.

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

Then Gideon said, Because of this, when the Lord has given Zebah and Zalmunna into my hands, I will have you stretched on a bed of thorns of the waste land and on sharp stems, and have you crushed as grain is crushed on a grain-floor.

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

So he went up from there to Penuel and made the same request to the men of Penuel; but they gave him the same answer as the men of Succoth had given.

אוֹתוֹ֙ (אוֹת) 'o.T “<obj.>”

So he said to the men of Penuel, When I come back in peace, I will have this tower broken down.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Gideon went up by the way used by the people living in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and made an attack on the army when they had no thought of danger.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Zebah and Zalmunna went in flight; and he went after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and put all the army to the curse.

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

And taking prisoner a young man of the people of Succoth, he got from him, in answer to his questions, a list of the chiefs of Succoth and the responsible men, seventy-seven men.
