Exegesis
The particle et {אֶת־ | ʾeṯ} systematically marks the direct objects of these verbs, leading to kol kikkar hayarden {כָּל־כִּכַּר הַיַּרְדֵּן | kol kik-kār ha-yar-dēn} ‘all the plain of the Jordan’, where kol in construct with kikkar emphasizes the region’s comprehensive scope.
In context — Genesis 13:10
Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plain of the Jordan; it was lush throughout before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt as you come to Zoar.
