H0853–אֵת–et

For these nations, whose land you are taking, give attention to readers of signs and to those using secret arts: but the Lord your God will not let you do so.

אוֹתָ֔ם (אוֹתָ֔) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

In answer to the request you made to the Lord your God in Horeb on the day of the great meeting, when you said, Let not the voice of the Lord my God come to my ears again, and let me not see this great fire any more, or death will overtake me.

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

I will give them a prophet from among themselves, like you, and I will put my words in his mouth, and he will say to them whatever I give him orders to say.

אֵ֖ת 'et “<obj.>”

But the prophet who takes it on himself to say words in my name which I have not given him orders to say, or who says anything in the name of other gods, will come to his death.

אֵ֣ת 'et “<obj.>”

And if you say in your hearts, How are we to be certain that the word does not come from the Lord?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

When the nations, whose land the Lord your God is giving you, have been cut off by him, and you have taken their place and are living in their towns and in their houses;

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

You are to make ready a way, and see that the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, is marked out into three parts, to which any taker of life may go in flight.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

This is to be the rule for anyone who goes in flight there, after causing the death of his neighbour in error and not through hate;

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

For example, if a man goes into the woods with his neighbour for the purpose of cutting down trees, and when he takes his axe to give a blow to the tree, the head of the axe comes off, and falling on to his neighbour gives him a wound causing his death;

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And if the Lord your God makes wide the limits of your land, as he said in his oath to your fathers, and gives you all the land which he undertook to give to your fathers;

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

If you keep and do all these orders which I give you today, loving the Lord your God and walking ever in his ways; then let three more towns, in addition to these three, be marked out for you:

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

The responsible men of his town are to send and take him, and give him up to the one who has the right of punishment to be put to death.

אֹת֖וֹ (אֹת֖) 'o.T “<obj.>”אֹת֗וֹ (אֹת֗) 'o.T “<obj.>”

For the Lord your God goes with you, fighting for you to give you salvation from those who are against you.

אֶתְכֶֽם׃ (אֶתְ) 'et. “<obj.>”

And let the overseers go on to say to the people, If there is any man whose heart is feeble with fear, let him go back to his house before he makes the hearts of his countrymen feeble.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And when the Lord your God has given it into your hands, let every male in it be put to death without mercy.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

But the women and the children and the cattle and everything in the town and all its wealth, you may take for yourselves: the wealth of your haters, which the Lord your God has given you, will be your food.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

So that you may not take them as your example and do all the disgusting things which they do in the worship of their gods, so sinning against the Lord your God.

אֶתְכֶם֙ (אֶתְ) 'et. “<obj.>”

If in war a town is shut in by your armies for a long time, do not let its trees be cut down and made waste; for their fruit will be your food; are the trees of the countryside men for you to take up arms against them?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֹת֖וֹ (אֹת֖) 'o.T “<obj.>”

Only those trees which you are certain are not used for food may be cut down and put to destruction: and you are to make walls of attack against the town till it is taken.

אֹת֥וֹ (אֹת֥) 'o.T “<obj.>”

And they are to take the cow into a valley where there is flowing water, and which is not ploughed or planted, and there the neck of the cow is to be broken:

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And all the responsible men of that town which is nearest to the dead man, washing their hands over the cow whose neck was broken in the valley,

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Will say, This death is not the work of our hands and our eyes have not seen it.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then take her back to your house; and let her hair and her nails be cut;

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And let her take off the dress in which she was made prisoner and go on living in your house and weeping for her father and mother for a full month: and after that you may go in to her and be her husband and she will be your wife.

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

Then when he gives his property to his sons for their heritage, he is not to put the son of his loved one in the place of the first son, the son of the hated wife:

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