to his brothers
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ + masculine plural construct noun אֲחֵי/אֶחָי + 3rd person masculine singular suffix; noun common masculine plural construct with pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The base noun אָח means “brother” in the sense of a male sibling or kin-member. The plural construct form with 3ms suffix (“his”) plus the prefixed לְ (“to”) yields “to his brothers,” preserving masculine plural number and pronominal possession. |
