agree  Lamis Maalouf: Yes, this is the right word here. They used قريب عند العماد to mean إشبين because it is normally a relative.

Explanation:
كما في طقس العماذ الكلداني اليوم عندما يُسأل الطفل الوليد (من عمره اسبوع الى عدة شهور) الذي لا يفقه من الفعل شيئاً: عن ولادته وانتماءه الكنسي ورغبته بالعماذ وكفره بالابليس والشر واعوانه،،،الخ من الأسئلة التي يجاوب عليها أشبينه (قريبه) الذي كل اجوبته تكون نعم مع التلقين في كثير من الاحيان!
