Exegesis
The direct object marker et {אֶת | ʾet} precedes the nouns shor {שׁוֹר | šôr} and seyo {שֵׂיוֹ | śê-yō}, indicating their grammatical role, and the construct phrase akhika {אָחִיךָ | ’aḥî-kā} defines relational ownership.
In context — Deuteronomy 22:1
You shall not see your brother’s ox or his sheep straying and hide yourself from them; you shall surely return them to your brother.
