Av
from our father
Male ancestor; in primary sense, a biological or adoptive male parent. Extends to forebear or distant ancestor—collectively understood as 'fathers' in reference to previous generations. Also used for male head of a family or clan, founder or originator of a profession or tradition. Can denote a respected elder or principal figure of a group. In certain idiomatic uses, represents the origin or source of something (e.g., 'father of violence'). By extension, may refer to God as the ultimate source or progenitor, though this is less frequent in Biblical Hebrew than in later traditions.
