their brother
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct state with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אָח denotes a male sibling or kin associate. The construct singular form with 3rd masculine plural suffix (אֲחִי־הֶם) requires the rendering "their brother," preserving both singular number and possessive morphology. |
