וְהָאָדָם יָדַע אֶת חַוָּה אִשְׁתּוֹ וַתַּהַר וַתֵּלֶד אֶת קַיִן וַתֹּאמֶר קָנִיתִי אִישׁ אֶת אֱלֹהִים veha’adam yada et chavah ishto vattahar vatteled et kayin vattomer kaniti ish et elohim
If the Hebrew word אֶת et is being used as a preposition (with), then the translation should be, “I purchased a man with Elohim.” However, if it is being used as the marker of the definite object, then the translation should be, “I purchased the man, god.”
