to his brothers

Morphological NotesPreposition לְ ("to/for") + noun masculine plural construct אֶחָי ("brothers of") + 3ms pronominal suffix ו ("his"). From singular אָח.
Rendering RationaleThe noun אָח (ʾâch) denotes a brother or close kinsman, expressing bonds of shared lineage or affinity. The form is masculine plural construct with a 3rd person masculine singular suffix ("his"), and the prefixed לְ adds the sense "to," yielding "to his brothers," preserving both kinship meaning and grammatical details.
