brothers of

Rootאח (ʾ-ḥ)
Core Meaningsbrotherhood, kinship, familial bond, relatedness, covenantal solidarity
Semantic Rangemale siblings; extended family members; clan members; tribal compatriots; covenant partners; allies; fellow countrymen
Conceptual SignificanceIn the Hebrew Bible, "brothers" often extends beyond biological siblings to denote covenant kinship, tribal unity, and national solidarity among the sons of Israel, emphasizing shared ancestry, obligation, and mutual responsibility.
Morphological NotesHebrew noun common masculine plural construct (HNcmpc) from the singular אָח (ʾâch, "brother"). The construct state links the noun to a following genitive, hence "brothers of."
Rendering RationaleThe form אֲחֵי is the masculine plural construct of אָח ("brother"). The rendering "brothers of" preserves the masculine plural number and the construct relationship, indicating these are male kin bound to another noun in a genitive ("of") relationship, while retaining the root sense of familial and covenantal kinship.
