and to his brother

Rootאח (ʾ-ḥ)
Core Meaningsbrotherhood, kinship, fraternal bond, close relation
Semantic Rangebiological brother, half-brother, close male relative, kinsman, fellow tribesman, covenant companion, ally
Conceptual Significanceאָח expresses more than biological siblinghood; it conveys covenantal solidarity and shared identity within family and tribe. In Israel’s social and theological framework, the "brother" is one bound by obligation, loyalty, and mutual responsibility within the covenant community.
Morphological NotesConjunction וּ + preposition לְ + noun common masculine singular construct אָח + 3ms pronominal suffix ו; literally "and to the brother of him."
Rendering RationaleThe noun אָח means “brother” in the literal and extended sense of a male kin-member. The form is masculine singular construct with a 3rd person masculine singular suffix ("his"), preceded by the conjunction וּ ("and") and preposition לְ ("to/for"), yielding "and to his brother," preserving both grammatical gender and possession.
