Bible Question (short): no imtimacy?

Question (full):
"...your other brother..."

This expression sounds odd to me. Israel (Jacob) seemed unloving to Simeon. He did not address his name. The translation of my Chinese Bible even convey a sense of distance (no intimacy) like "that brother of yours". [This is just like when I had a fight with my husband about our daughter, I would say "your daughter..."...:-)]

Was it because he (Jacob) was still angry with his sons for the lost of Joseph?

Thanks for your input.

Shalom
