OET interlinear NEH 11:14

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠אֲחֵי⁠הֶם֙ גִּבּ֣וֹרֵי חַ֔יִל מֵאָ֖ה עֶשְׂרִ֣ים וּ⁠שְׁמֹנָ֑ה

and,brothers_of,their (Some words not found in UHB: and,brothers_of,their warriors_of valiant hundred twenty and,eight and_[was],overseer over,them Zaⱱdiy^ʼēl son_of of,the_great_[ones] )

The implication is that this is the total number of priests that Amashsai was responsible for. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: [Amashsai was responsible for 128 priests who were capable of working in the temple]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠אֲחֵי⁠הֶם֙

and,brothers_of,their

Here, in context, brothers is a figurative way of saying “fellow priests” as in [11:12](../11/12.md), although it is possible that some of the biological brothers of Amashsai were included in this group. Their is plural because it is describing this group in reference to all of the other priests, not just to Amashsai. Alternate translation: [their fellow priests]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

גִּבּ֣וֹרֵי חַ֔יִל

(Some words not found in UHB: and,brothers_of,their warriors_of valiant hundred twenty and,eight and_[was],overseer over,them Zaⱱdiy^ʼēl son_of of,the_great_[ones] )

In this context, the abstract noun strength likely refers to the way these men were physically capable of doing the required work in the temple. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the idea behind it with an adjective such as “capable.” Alternate translation: [men who were capable of working in the temple]

Note 4 topic: translate-numbers

מֵאָ֖ה עֶשְׂרִ֣ים וּ⁠שְׁמֹנָ֑ה

hundred (Some words not found in UHB: and,brothers_of,their warriors_of valiant hundred twenty and,eight and_[was],overseer over,them Zaⱱdiy^ʼēl son_of of,the_great_[ones] )

Alternate translation: [one hundred and twenty-eight]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ⁠פָקִ֣יד עֲלֵי⁠הֶ֔ם

and_[was],overseer over,them

This appears to mean that while Amashsai was responsible overall for this group of priests, Zabdiel supervised their day-to-day work. Alternate translation: [Zabdiel was their supervisor]

Note 6 topic: translate-names

Zabdiel is the name of a man, and Haggedolim is the name of his father.
