English term or phrase: "friend who is as your soul"
I need this phrase translated exactly as it is found in Deut. 13:6. Can anyone help?

רעך אשר כנפשך
Explanation:
the whole verse is:
כי יסיתך אחיך בן אמך או בנך או בתך או אשת חיקך או רעך אשר כנפשך בסתר לאמר נלכה ונעבדה אלהים אחרים אשר לא ידעת אתה ואבתיך׃

But in the Tanakh it's verse 13:7, not 6.
