I recently purchased a Hebrew Bible and began to peruse it, starting at
the beginning. I recognized most of the words in Genesis 1:1 and I now
understand each except for the word "et" that appears to be used twice,
once by itself and the second time with a vav prefix, I assume indicating
the "and." My question is this: what is the function of this word? It
doesn't seem to me to have any word-for-word correspondence with the
English translations, so what is the idea behind it?
