Abraham was originally Abram (“exalted father”). God renamed him Avraham — av hamon, “father of a multitude” — to seal the promise that many nations would come from him.

The promise looks improbable when given (he is old, his wife barren), but God keeps it. Paul calls Abraham the “father of all who believe,” regardless of nationality. His new name now belongs to a worldwide family.
