Exegesis
The object marker et {אֶת־ | ʾet} is omitted in the English translation but marks definite objects in Hebrew. This tight clause structure underscores the woman’s confrontation with Elijah.
In context — 1 Kings 17:18
And she said to Elijah, “What is there between me and you, man of God ? Have you come to remind me of my iniquity and to put my son to death?”
