Here, friend, house, brother, a nearby inhabitant, and a distant brother represent these things and people in general, not specific things or people. In this verse, brother refers to relatives in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “any friend of yours and any friend of … and do not enter any house of any relative of yours … is any nearby inhabitant than any distant relative”
