Exegesis
The sequence `avdekha et ha-yarden {עַבְדְּךָ אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּן | ʿa-vde-khā ʾeṯ ha-ya-rḏēn} uses the accusative marker et {אֶת | ʾeṯ} with ha-yarden {הַיַּרְדֵּן | ha-ya-rḏēn} as the direct object, while the second et {אֵת | ʾēt} introduces a prepositional phrase with ha-melekh {הַמֶּלֶךְ | ha-me-leḵ} ‘the king’.
