Exegesis
The second quotation (achi hu {אָחִ֣י ה֑וּא | ʾā-ḥî hûʾ}) “he is my brother” mirrors the first, forming chiastic parallelism.
In context — Genesis 20:5
Did he not tell me, “She is my sister,” and did she not also say, “He is my brother”? In the integrity of my heart and in the cleanness of my hands I did this.
