Genesis 17:5-6

The Voice

⁵ To symbolize your foundational role in this covenant, I hereby change your name. You will no longer go by the name “Abram.” Your new name will be “Abraham,” which means “father of a great multitude of nations,” because that is exactly what I will make of you.^{[a] 6} Your descendants will be exceedingly fruitful. Nations and kings will descend from you.
