    The genitive singular form occurs in a command to leave land and the family group in Acts 7:3, and in Luke 1:61 people appeal to those sharing a family connection when discussing a name. The accusative singular in Acts 7:14 refers to the relatives Joseph summoned with Jacob; in Acts 7:14 the APB renders the clause "all his relatives," while Acts 7:3 and Luke 1:61 use "your kindred."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with "relatives" in Acts 7:14 and "kindred" in Acts 7:3 and Luke 1:61. These are translation renderings of whole clauses.
