Exegesis
The Qal perfect verb raʾinu {רָאִינוּ | rā-ʾî-nû} ‘we saw’ takes the particle ʾet {אֶת־ | ʾet-} to mark the direct object hannefilim {הַנְּפִילִים | han-nə-pî-lîm} ‘the Nephilim’.
In context — Numbers 13:33
And there we saw the Nephilim , the sons of Anak who were of the Nephilim; and we were in our own eyes like grasshoppers , and so we were in their eyes.
