Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ben akhim {בֵּין אַחִים | bēn ʾaḥîm} ‘between brothers’ alludes to sibling dynamics, while the Hiphil imperfect yafri {יַפְרִיא | yap·rîʾ} ‘he causes to bear fruit’ evokes prosperity imagery.
In context — Hosea 13:15
For though he thrives among his brothers, an east wind—the wind of the LORD —will come up from the wilderness. It will dry up his spring , and his fountain will be parched; it will strip away every precious treasure from his storehouse.
