Exegesis
The particle et {אֶת | ʾet} marks the direct object ha’elohim {הָאֱלֹהִים | hā-ʾĕ-lō-hîm}, highlighting the specific object of fear.
The construct et aron ha’elohim {אֵת אֲרוֹן הָאֱלֹהִים | ʾet ʾărōn hā-ʾĕ-lō-hîm} underscores the ark’s sacred identity. English SVO order clarifies the question while preserving the deferential tone toward the divine presence.
