Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew name אַבְרָהָם (Avraham).Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Hebrew 85: אַבְרָהָם (Avraham) • Abraham, "father of a multitude" or "father of many nations." Usage: The name Ἀβραάμ is used in the New Testament to refer to the patriarch Abraham, a central figure in the narratives of Genesis and a key figure in the faith traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. He is often mentioned in contexts emphasizing faith, covenant, and the promises of God. Context: Abraham, originally named Abram, is a foundational patriarch in the biblical narrative, first introduced in Genesis 11:26. God called him to leave his homeland and journey to a land that He would show him, promising to make him a great nation (Genesis 12:1-3). Abraham is renowned for his faith and obedience to God, exemplified in his willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac (Genesis 22:1-19). The covenant God made with Abraham included promises of land, descendants, and blessings, which are pivotal to the unfolding story of the Israelites and the coming of the Messiah. In the New Testament, Abraham is frequently cited as an exemplar of faith. For instance, Romans 4:3 states, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." Jesus refers to Abraham in discussions about faith and lineage (John 8:39-40), and the Epistle to the Hebrews highlights his faith and patience (Hebrews 11:8-19). Abraham's life and legacy are integral to understanding the biblical themes of faith, promise, and God's redemptive plan.
