Exegesis
The direct object marker et {אֶת־ | ʾeṯ} precedes beno {בְּנוֹ֙ | bə-nō} ‘his son’, while the prepositional phrase ba’esh {בָּאֵ֔שׁ | bā-ʾēš} ‘in the fire’ indicates the means.
In context — 2 Kings 21:6
And he made his son pass through the fire and practiced soothsaying and divination, and he dealt with mediums and spiritists. He greatly increased doing evil in the eyes of the LORD to provoke Him.
