Exegesis
The direct object marker ʾet {אֵת | ʾēṯ} introduces the first object phrase kol rekhush Sedom vaAmorah {כָּל־רְכֻשׁ סְדֹם וַעֲמֹרָה | kāl-rə-ḵuš sə-dōm wa-ʿă-mō-rāh}, where kol forms a quantifying construct-like relationship with rekhush, indicating “all the property,” and Sedom and Amorah specify whose property is taken.
Root and etymology
s-d-m
“to scorch, burn”
