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.
