Genesis 31:25

וַ יַּשֵּׂג לָבָן אֶת יַעֲקֹב וְ יַעֲקֹב תָּקַע אֶת אָהֳלֹו בָּ הָר וְ לָבָן תָּקַע אֶת אֶחָיו בְּ הַר הַ גִּלְעָד

And White is reaching אֶת-Heel. And Heel has struck1006 אֶת-his tent in the Mountain; and White has struck אֶת-his brothers1007 in the mount of Gilead.


1007

Hebrew תָּקַ֥ע אֶת אֶחָ֖יו, thrust/blew/struck his brothers. The accusative אֶת here is always interpreted as “with” in other translations but this is misleading for the verb is in the singular masculine, not plural.
