Genesis 11:31
וַ יִּקַּח תֶּרַח אֶת אַבְרָם בְּנֹו וְ אֶת לֹוט בֶּן הָרָן בֶּן בְּנֹו וְ אֵת שָׂרַי כַּלָּתֹו אֵשֶׁת אַבְרָם בְּנֹו וַ יֵּצְאוּ אִתָּם מֵ אוּר כַּשְׂדִּים לָ לֶכֶת אַרְצָה כְּנַעַן וַ יָּבֹאוּ עַד חָרָן וַ יֵּשְׁבוּ שָׁם
And Terah is taking אֶת-Raised-Father his builder, and אֶת-Lot builder of Scorched,457 builder of his builder,458 and אֶת-Noble-Lady his kallah,459 woman of Raised-Father his builder; and they are going out את-themselves460 from Flame of the Chaldeans, to walk earth-ward461 of Humbled. And they are coming in until Scorched, and they are sitting there.462
| 460 | they are going out אֶת-them. Note that Terah is not the direct object of verb go out. This would be a redundant statement, “themselves” being an unnecessary word except for the fact that Yahweh is good at hiding things. Who is “themselves”? |
