Father-of-a-Multitude
| Root | אב (ʾ-b) |
| Core Meanings | father, ancestor, source, originator, protector |
| Semantic Range | Patriarch of Israel; covenantal ancestor; exemplar of faith and obedience; progenitor of many nations. |
| Conceptual Significance | Abraham stands as the covenantal forefather of Israel and, by promise, of many nations. His name embodies the divine promise of fruitfulness and expansive lineage, anchoring themes of covenant, land, seed, and blessing throughout the biblical narrative. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular (HNp). Personal name formed from אָב (father) and a term associated with multitude (cf. הָמוֹן), reflecting a covenantal renaming (Genesis 17:5). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name אַבְרָהָם (ʼAbrâhâm) is understood as a compound built on אָב ("father") and a term related to "multitude." Rendering it as "Father-of-a-Multitude" preserves the root meaning of אב while reflecting the singular masculine proper noun form (HNp). |
