H0853–אֵת–et

When they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men who were in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

He said, you have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and are gone away, and what have I more? and how then say you to me, What ails you?

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

They took that which Micah had made, and the priest whom he had, and came to Laish, to a people quiet and secure, and struck them with the edge of the sword; and they burnt the city with fire.

אֵ֧ת 'et “<obj.>”וְֽאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”אוֹתָ֖ם (אוֹתָ֖) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

There was no deliverer, because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with any man; and it was in the valley that lies by Beth Rehob. They built the city, and lived therein.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

The children of Dan set up for themselves the engraved image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the captivity of the land.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

So they set them up Micah's engraved image which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

They turned aside there, to go in to lodge in Gibeah: and he went in, and sat him down in the street of the city; for there was no man who took them into his house to lodge.

אוֹתָ֥ם (אוֹתָ֥) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

He lifted up his eyes, and saw the wayfaring man in the street of the city; and the old man said, Where go you? and whence come you?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

He said to him, We are passing from Bethlehem Judah to the farther side of the hill-country of Ephraim; from there am I, and I went to Bethlehem Judah: and I am [ergänzt: now] going to the house of Yahweh; and there is no man who takes me into his house.

וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”אוֹתִ֖י (אוֹתִ֖) 'o.T “<obj.>”

As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain base fellows, beset the house round about, beating at the door; and they spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man who came into your house, that we may know him.

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

The man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said to them, No, my brothers, please don't act so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into my house, don't do this folly.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Behold, here is my daughter a virgin, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble you them, and do with them what seems good to you: but to this man don't do any such folly.

אוֹתָם֙ (אוֹתָ) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”אוֹתָ֔ם (אוֹתָ֔) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

But the men wouldn't listen to him: so the man laid hold on his concubine, and brought her forth to them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go.

א֠וֹתָהּ (א֠וֹתָ) 'o.ta “<obj.>”

When he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the borders of Israel.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

The men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about me by night; me they thought to have slain, and my concubine they forced, and she is dead.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אוֹתִי֙ (אוֹתִ) 'o.T “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

Now therefore deliver up the men, the base fellows, who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers the children of Israel.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Yahweh struck Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty-five thousand one hundred men: all these drew the sword.

אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

The liers-in-wait hurried, and rushed on Gibeah; and the liers-in-wait drew themselves along, and struck all the city with the edge of the sword.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness; but the battle followed hard after them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in the midst of it.

They enclosed the Benjamites round about, [ergänzt: and] chased them, [ergänzt: and] trod them down at [ergänzt: their] resting-place, as far as over against Gibeah toward the sunrise.
