Abraham in Genesis 17
AY-bruh-ham
This person shows up in Genesis 17:5: “Your name will no more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
Genesis 17:5
“Your name will no more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.”
