Exegesis
The particle et {אֵ֖ת | ʾēt} marks yitschak {יִצְחָ֥ק | yiṣ-ḥāq} as the direct object, with beno {בְּנֽוֹ | bə-nô} reinforcing “his son.” The phrase serves as a temporal clause highlighting Abraham’s advanced age at Isaac’s birth.
In context — Genesis 21:5
Abraham was one hundred years old when Isaac was born to him.
