Exegesis
The noun phrase veachai {וְאַחַי | wə-ʼaḥay} ‘my brothers’ is qualified by the relative pronoun asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă-šer} ‘who’, which introduces the verb alu {עָלוּ | ʿā-lû} ‘went up’ immi {עִמִּי | ʿim-mî} ‘with me’.
In context — Joshua 14:8
But my brothers who went up with me caused the heart of the people to melt, but I wholly followed after the LORD my God .
