62 year old mom who decided to learn Hebrew and your videos are a great help. Thank you

Hi I am 62, starting to learn Hebrew only 2 months. Thanks for your nice teaching!It’s very clear and helpful! Thanks

Please don’t stop making videos. You’ve helped me learn so many new things so fast! Thank you!

Bravo Tim! This is the best explanation of "et" on KZfaq. You Sir, have a gift of teaching. I am honored to be your student.

Clear and simple explanation. Now I don’t have difficulty to understand or using the word “et”.

Thanks for the grammatical lesson of Aleph Tav. Isaiah 48:12

I love your clear and simplified explanations of Biblical Hebrew thank you! More please 😊

The explanations and the examples are clear and convincing. Dragos Seuleanu, Romania

Excellent Hebrew teaching, thank you. I like it in short and a simple topic so we could pick up slowly.

You teach me the correct usage of את exactly. Thank you very much.

Just finished beginning Hebrew grammar with Dr Barrick at Master's Seminary online Found your presentation with those fantastic graphics and hope to make time to come back! Shalom!

Thank you for this very clear explanation!

I love your videos, they are clear and simple to understand. Please upload some more videos. Thank you very much.

I have a Hebrew final in a few days, and this concept was always confusing to me, but this video totally cleared it up! Thank you!

Beautiful lesson, Tim! I hope this is part of your career because your teaching skills + video creation abilities are excellent.

Thank you for a very good, logical, clear, short lesson.

Wow! I was doing some Hebrew exercises and this word 'et' came up and got me confused as to what it meant. Now I know that the man walked towards the city rather than the city walked to the man. In all seriousness though. This is probably one of the best teaching videos I've ever seen.

Tim McNich You are simply the best. You help me learn a lot of Hebrew alphabets. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

I am fully satisfied by the explanation. Thank you!

Very well explained! Thank you!

I am so glad that I can across your channel. Awesome 👍

Absolutely the best online teacher ever!! Rally next and Well structured (and illustrated) lectures.

Such excellent presentations, I have learnt so much with the two videos I have watched so far. Keep up the good work and have a blessed day.

Wow this is fabulous. Fifty-odd years ago I asked my teacher in Hebrew school why את existed if it had no meaning, and he said, "It's there to beautify the language," which is an idiotic non-explanation. I have wondered my whole life. Now I know. Thank you.

I have a different understanding for the biblical sense, but thank you it’s good knowledge.

Toda. I was learning Hebrew on Duolingo and et was incorporated with an explanation as I progressed levels. Your video helped me. I hope you continue to make more Hebrew language videos. Shalom

Thank you Tim - great explanation. Liked and subscribed.

Dude. You are the best Hebrew teacher on the planet. #JustSayin

Tim, I tripped across this video about the "et" and immediately watched it. You did such a great job of clearing up this very confusing concept. Genesis 1:1 threw me and I have been struggling to understand the "et" in that sentence. Thank you so much!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

thanks for the clear explanation

Really thank you!

Again, I am amazed !!

Thanks a lot for the crystal clear explanation.

We have something similar in hungarian so I will get the hang of this. Great video, as always.

I’m learning Hebrew thru an online Ulpan. This was so helpful. Thank you very much!

This is a great explanation! Thank you!

איש יקר! תודה. אהבו את העברית שלכם!

Excellent brother. Please do more videos.

This was helpful. Thank you.

FINALLY UNDERSTOOD

Thank you very helpful!

Great lesson thk

Your Hebrew lessons are easy to understand. I listen to alot of videos in my car as I travel. So I am choicy about the ones I can hear and understand. You do well. What does the sentence Shabbat Shalom mean?

I only just started studying Hebrew and I read a bible verse in John 3:16 where I was confuse about the “et” in the text. Thank to your explanation I now understand!! Thank you so much 😊 I still confuse about how to pronounce Aleph at the end of a sentence though whether I should sound the A or just make it a silent sound...would really appreciate it if you can do explanation on that as well or just the basic of pronouncing like when there is dagesh of double letter.. Any way THANKS again for your amazing video

Thank you so much!

Thank yoooouuuu this cleared it up

OMG, This whole time I didn't get it. Thats simple now :)

thank you! I view "et" as a pointing finger

Very interesting baruk

Thank you!

I love את ❤

ET is Aleph to the tov the aleph beth the alpha to omega the beginning and the end the first(Aleph to the Tov) in greek alpha and omega. John refers to this when he says (originally) in the beginning the word already was.

I don't know why I find it interesting as a native speaker...

thank you

But why is it precisely just the letters "aleph-tav"? When the ancient Hebrew began plowing his field that he wanted to get the first furrow completely straight. For that, he needed a MARK (tav) he was aiming for all the time when he was plowing using a bull (aleph)? So he need a direct object pointer! That's why before plowing he put a MARK to the distance for himself (and for his bull) and only then does he drive the bull straight towards the mark all the time. Right? How does this relate to writing and speaking? The ancient Hebrew saw functional similarities in different situations, so it was easy for him to think the same principle in expressing thoughts as in plowing a bull: He must show how he was meant the words relate to each other. He shows it using the "bull-sign" alias "aleph-tav". Right? By the way: The square alphabet currently used in the Hebrew language has been "borrowed" from the Aramaic language since the time of the Babylonian exile. Before that, the Hebrew alphabet was pictograms. Aleph had a drawing of a "bull's head" and tav had a drawing of a "mark/sign" like a cross. If you want to see the older alphabet of the Hebrew language from the time of Exodus, you should search for "proto-sinaitic hebrew alphabet".

ET is my friend, thank you.

The Latin language doesn’t have any kind of off term like this so you have to learn a huge amount of declinations for each word in the language to form the direct object in a sentence. I’m happy Hebrew is more simple than Latin in that sense

I am delighted because it's found in Genisis 4:1 Eve thought she gave birth to the Lord. It's proof of the trinity.

Et tu, Brute? Then, fall Caesar!

It means to. Words beginning with A read backwards. This is why all the angels end with Myel. It's god backwards. The line you're trying to read says'' B recit B Ramyela to E shame wat earx". It's the authors name. In recipe in Ramyel to the same what hears. It means this is the Tewtonic language.

I L💓VE U את

i love you et

I thank you very much, and hope I can learn something . YHVH BLESS YOU ✨ I need to start from the beginning PLEASE how I start

Thank you! Duolingo didn't really explain 😅

AMEN

תודה!!

Shalom! Thank you for the nice teaching. I am the beginner of learning Hebrew and source is merely from the Web teaching. I have a question on the "אֵת". I see on the Genesis 1:1 "....אֱלֹהִים, אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם, וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ" . May I guess the "אֵת" and the "וְאֵת" can be define as "the" and "and the" if they are shown before defined objects as heaven and sky? So as "...God created the heaven and the sky"?

How do you know when to use et as the preposition "with or from" or when it's a direct preposition like what you're showing? I'm asking because Gen 4:1 uses the word "et" 3 times. The first 2 times, it's not translated and is used how you are saying. The 3rd time, they translate it as "with or from". Did they just translate it that way because they didn't understand how Eve could say and think that she gave birth to YHWH? Or is there an actual reason for that? Thank you for your help!!!!

היי טים, הוידאו מאוד מושקע וברובו מוצלח. עם זאת, יש לך טעות דקדוקית חמורה מאוד שמטעה את הצופים שלך - "משה זרק האבן" לא יכול להיות "The stone threw Moshe" מכיוון ש"אבן" היא נקבה. חמור מכך, המשפט הזה לקוח מעברית מיושנת. איש לא מדבר כך בימינו. בעברית עכשווית המשפט היחיד האפשרי הוא "משה זרק את האבן". כדאי לתקן כי זו טעות ממש חמורה.

Can you tell me why את in most Oriental Jewish dialects, is pronounced (as most words with tzeirei and final Tav without a segol) as 'eith' {long English A verb sound with th ending?

That two letters clever word does not exist in Arabic as a Semitic language . My question to every Hebrew Scholar is the following : Does this את exist in any Semitic language or is it pecular to Hebrew ? It realy spares and avoids structural ambiguity . Thanks a great deal for such clarification . I , indeed , much appreciate it . שלום ממורוקו

את

How come it isn't used for indefinite nouns too? If the word order can change, wouldn't it make sense to have 'et' with indefinite nouns as well, or are the rules of word structure different with indefinite nouns?

It actually does have a Meaning..

In Genesis 19:24 what would the direct marker be pointing to, is there two YEHOVAH's (THE LORD) people? is Yehovah (the LORD) the direct object or is the heavens where he is the object?

The audio quality of this video is very poor (hard to hear) It requires to be developed so that it can clearly be heard.

I'm learning the vowels right now, at least for the biblical hebrew, and I don't recognize several of them you have in Genesis 1:1. Are those variations or modern Hebrew vowels?

I believe the First word Bara Sheth (ברא שית) = “Creation begins / Beginning of Creation / Creation of Life” is a Title and not a part of the sentence and the actual sentence starts with “Bra Eloh’im et haShama’im wa et haArtz” - God created Heavens and the Earth. But if we we read b’Rashet (ב ראשית) then the meaning would be “in the Beginning / The very First” and the rest of the sentence….

'Et is the "word" St. John says was with God and is God in the beginning. The first and last letter. Alpha and Omega = Aleph and Tav. Get it? 20 centuries of Christians have been misinterpreting John's Christology because they forgot Hebrew. Incidentally, the term "plowshares" is also spelled Aleph Tav. The sense is a knife carving into the earth. The 'et plants an object into the earth and makes it tangibly physical. So yeah, if you're Christian, 'et is Jesus, the "incarnating" principle of reality, God's "plowshare." It also conceptually closely relates to the preposition version of the word. "Enoch walked WITH God" (Genesis 5:54). The preposition connotes a strong and intimate connection.

Thanks so much! What is the program you make this presentation in it

direct object marker in Gen 1:1

I learned something new. What program do you use in this video? How do I get it? Thanks

Could Genesis 19:24 simply be saying YHVH rained fire onto sodom from himself.? as the direct object

Boom shakalacha! טוב תים!!!

what exactly do you mean by "word order doesnt matter"

This word is just a thorn in my side! No comprende!
