Exegesis
The first two Hebrew graphic words are bound forms with maqqef: et-haqeyni {אֶת־הַקֵּינִי֙ | ʾeṯ-ha-qê-nî} and ve-et-haqenizzi {וְאֶת־הַקְּנִזִּ֔י | wə-ʾeṯ-ha-qəniz-zî}. In each case, the particle ʾet functions as a definite direct object marker attached to a gentilic noun marked by the article ha.
