Exegesis
The instrumental phrase be-yad a-saf {בְּיַד־אָסָ֖ף | be-yad a-saf} “by the hand of Asaph” identifies the primary officiant, and ve-e-chav {וְאֶחָֽיו | ve-e-chav} “and his brothers” extends the group. The Hebrew SVO sequence conveys ceremony and authority, rendered in English with subordinate clauses to preserve purpose and liturgical emphasis.
In context — 1 Chronicles 16:7
On that day David first entrusted the leadership of this thanksgiving song to Asaph and his brothers so that they might give thanks to the LORD .
