from my brothers
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct state with 1st person common singular suffix ("my"), prefixed by the preposition מִן ("from"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The base noun אָח means "brother" in the sense of a male sibling or close male kin. The plural construct form with 1st person singular suffix yields "my brothers," and the prefixed מֵ adds the sense "from," producing "from my brothers." |
