Av (the noun behind names like Abraham, “father of many”) is the foundational family word in Hebrew. It speaks of authority, provision, and inheritance — and of tenderness too.

Beyond family lines, av names God himself. Israel was God’s son “out of Egypt”; the Messianic Psalms address God as “my Father.” Jesus then opens that name to all who believe in him: “Our Father in heaven.”
