these heads_of the,priests and,associates_of,their in/on/at/with,days_of Yēshūˊa/(Jeshua)
This is a summary statement about the 22 men who have just been named. Alternate translation: “These men were the leaders of the priests in their own divisions while Joshua was the high priest.”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
רָאשֵׁ֧י הַכֹּהֲנִ֛ים וַאֲחֵיהֶ֖ם
heads_of the,priests and,associates_of,their
Here, heads is a figurative way of saying “leaders.” Alternate translation: “the leaders of the priests in their own divisions”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
רָאשֵׁ֧י הַכֹּהֲנִ֛ים וַאֲחֵיהֶ֖ם
heads_of the,priests and,associates_of,their
In this context, and means “that is,” so the full expression means, “the leaders of the priests, that is, the ones who were their ‘brothers.’” Brothers itself is a figurative way of saying “fellow priests,” and in this context specifically means “the priests in their own divisions.” (King David had divided the priests into divisions so that they could rotate their responsibilities, and the Israelites reconstituted these divisions after the exile.) It is possible that some of the people in each division were the biological brothers of the leaders named, since the divisions were created based on close kinship ties, but the word “brother” is essentially figurative. Alternate translation: “their fellow priests”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
בִּימֵ֥י יֵשֽׁוּעַ
in/on/at/with,days_of Yēshūˊa/(Jeshua)
The term days is used here to refer a particular period of time. Alternate translation: “in the time of Joshua”

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
