Berean Strong's Lexicon eth: Not typically translated; used as a direct object marker Original Word: אֵת Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: eth Pronunciation: [ayth] Phonetic Spelling: (ayth) Definition: Not typically translated; used as a direct object marker Meaning: a hoe, other digging implement Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent to the Hebrew particle "eth," as Greek uses different grammatical structures to indicate the direct object. However, the concept of marking the direct object is inherent in Greek through the use of cases, particularly the accusative case. Usage: The Hebrew word "אֵת" (eth) is a grammatical particle used to indicate the direct object of a verb. It does not have a direct English equivalent and is often untranslatable. Its primary function is to mark the noun that receives the action of the verb, providing clarity in sentence structure. In some contexts, it can also be used to emphasize the direct object. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew, the use of particles like "eth" was essential for understanding the syntactical relationships within a sentence. Hebrew, being a language with a relatively flexible word order, relied on such markers to clarify which noun was the subject and which was the object. This was particularly important in oral traditions, where clarity of meaning was crucial for accurate transmission of stories and laws.
