Exegesis
The direct object marker et {אֶת־ | ʾet} attaches to ziknei {זִקְנֵי | ziq-nê} ‘elders’ and the proper noun yiśrāʾēl {יִשְׂרָאֵל | yiśrāʾēl}, marking Israel’s leaders as the audience.
In context — Ezekiel 20:3
Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and say to them, “Thus says the Lord GOD : Is it to inquire of Me that you have come? As I live , I will not be inquired of by you, declares the Lord GOD.”
