are Aramaizing infinitives:

2. את marks an accus. in other relations than that of direct obj. to a verb: a. with verbs of motion (very rare) Nu 13:17 Dt 1:1 9; 2:7 (to ‘walk the wilderness’); denoting the goal Ju 19:18 Ez 21:25 ( Ew § 281 d, n. , 282 a 1 ). b. denoting time (duration), also very rare: Ex 13:7 Lv 25:22 Dt 9:2 5. c. expressing the accus. of limitation (rare): Gn 17:11 , 14 1 K 15:2 3.
3. Chiefly in an inferior or later style, אֵת (or וְאֵת ) is used irregularly, partly ( α ), as it would seem, to give greater definiteness (so especially וְאֵת ) at the mention of a new subject (when it may sometimes be renderes as regards ), or through the influence of a neighbouring verb (a cstr. κατὰ σύνεσιν ), or by an anacoluthon, partly ( β ) as resuming loosely some other prep. Thus ( α ) Ex 1:14 Nu 3:2 6, 46 ; 5:10 (with
