SIBI-P1 H251-54
and to his brothers
| Root | אח (ʾ-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | brotherhood, kinship, familial bond, association, resemblance |
| Semantic Range | male siblings, extended male kin, clan members, tribal compatriots, allies, those bound by covenantal or social solidarity |
| Conceptual Significance | אָח expresses covenantal and familial solidarity in Israelite society, extending beyond biological brothers to denote tribal unity and communal responsibility; it undergirds themes of kinship loyalty, reconciliation, and shared inheritance in the biblical narrative. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + preposition לְ + masculine plural construct noun אֶחָי + 3ms pronominal suffix ו; literally "and to the brothers of him." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אָח (ʾāḥ) denotes a male sibling or close kinsman; in the masculine plural construct with a 3ms suffix (אֶחָיו), it means "his brothers." The prefixed conjunction וּ and preposition לְ yield "and to his brothers," preserving both the kinship sense of the root and the masculine plural possession indicated by the morphology. |
