brothers of
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew noun common masculine plural construct (HNcmpc) from the singular אָח (ʾâch, "brother"). The construct state links the noun to a following genitive, hence "brothers of." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form אֲחֵי is the masculine plural construct of אָח ("brother"). The rendering "brothers of" preserves the masculine plural number and the construct relationship, indicating these are male kin bound to another noun in a genitive ("of") relationship, while retaining the root sense of familial and covenantal kinship. |
