The King James Version translates rightly (1) בּן־אחותו , ben - 'ăḥōthō ( Genesis 29:13 ); and (2) υἱὸς τῆς ἀδελφῆς , huiós tḗs adelphḗs (Acts 23:16 ), and wrongly, (3) ἀνψιός , anepsiós (Colossians 4:10 ), where, without doubt, the real meaning is "cousin," as in the Revised Version (British and American). See RELATIONSHIPS , FAMILY .
