to Abraham (father of a multitude)
| Root | אברהם (ʾ-b-r-h-m) |
| Core Meanings | father, multitude, abundance, populousness |
| Semantic Range | Abraham, the patriarch formerly called Abram; covenantal ancestor of Israel; recipient of divine promises; representative of faith and chosen lineage. |
| Conceptual Significance | Abraham stands as the founding patriarch of Israel and the covenant partner through whom promises of land, seed, and blessing to the nations are established. His name change to “father of a multitude” signifies divine expansion of promise and identity, making him central to biblical theology of covenant and faith. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ (“to/for”) prefixed to a proper masculine singular noun (Np). No article; directional/dative sense determined by context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition לְ (“to/for”) attached to the proper masculine singular name אַבְרָהָם. The rendering preserves the directional sense of לְ and reflects the name’s etymological meaning, traditionally understood as “father of a multitude,” thus maintaining the root connection while honoring its singular masculine proper form. |
