Genesis 29:12

12 And he revealed to her that he was a brother of her father, and the son of Rebekah. And so, hurrying, she announced it to her father. ^{▼▼29:12This is one of very many examples where ‘brother’ is used more loosely in Scripture. Jacob was not the brother or Laban, but rather a close male relative, i.e. a brother in the broader sense of the word.(Conte)}
