Exegesis
Relational terms unfold through construct chains with akhikha ben immekha {אַחִיךָ בֶּן־אִמֶּךָ | ʾăḥîḵā bēn ʾimmekā} “your brother, the son of your mother,” and similarly for binkha {בִּנְךָ | binc·ḵā} and ṭitt·ḵā {בִּתְּךָ | ṭitt·ḵā}.
In context — Deuteronomy 13:6
If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is like your own soul, secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods which you have not known, you nor your fathers .”
