from their brothers
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct (אֲחֵי) + 3mp pronominal suffix (הֶם) with prefixed preposition מִן ("from"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The base noun אָח means "brother" or male kin. The plural construct form אֲחֵי with the 3rd person masculine plural suffix הֶם yields "their brothers," and the prefixed preposition מֵ adds "from," preserving both root meaning and morphology. |
