Sister's Son

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia · James Orr and contributors

The King James Version translates rightly

(1) ben-'achotho (Ge 29:13); and

(2) huios tes adelphes (Ac 23:16), and wrongly,

(3) anepsios (Col 4:10), where, without doubt, the real meaning is "cousin," as in the Revised Version (British and American).

See RELATIONSHIPS, FAMILY.
