This nominal phrase identifies participants in the reward scene; it does not itself assert an action or its timing.

The adjective functions substantivally in the masculine plural, while the prefixed beth and article express association with a defined group.

The company among whom the Servant receives an allotted portion

God's declaration of the Servant's reward after his self-giving

The preposition, article, and plural adjective form a substantival phrase identifying the great as the group with whom the portion is allotted.
