av.ram is the personal name used for the man addressed, described, and later renamed Abraham in the supplied narratives.

The term is used consistently as a proper personal name: it identifies the man in family notices, travel and settlement accounts, direct divine speech, and the statement that his name would be changed to Abraham.

Senses in use

  1. Personal name of the man later called Abraham · dominant

    The form is tagged as a proper noun throughout. In Genesis 12:1 it identifies the recipient of the command to leave his land, while Genesis 15:18 names the recipient of the covenant; in Genesis 17:5 the APB renders the explicit replacement of this name with “Abraham.”

In the Anselm Paraphrase: Across the supplied verses, the APB regularly presents the proper name as “Abram,” including in family, travel, speech, and covenant clauses. In Genesis 17:5 and Nehemiah 9:7, it also presents the transition to “Abraham”; the paraphrase is not word-aligned.
