• 1 Chronicles 23:21

  Eleazar's daughters are married by 'their brethren the sons of Kish,' who are explicitly their first cousins. Pitre calls this the cleanest specimen of 'brothers' meaning cousins in the Greek Old Testament (pp 106–107). With Genesis 31:37 and Josephus's use of adelphoi for relatives, it shows that when Mark 6:3 names James and Joses as Jesus' 'brothers,' the word can, and in context does, mean kinsmen.
