He is a descendant of Shem, one of Noah's sons, and is part of the genealogical line that leads to the nation of Israel. Abram's story begins in Ur of the Chaldeans, a significant city in ancient Mesopotamia, known for its advanced culture and polytheistic religion. His call by God to leave his homeland marks a pivotal moment in biblical history, as it initiates the covenant relationship between God and Abram, which is foundational for the development of the Israelite nation. Abram's journey from Ur to Canaan is both a physical and spiritual journey, symbolizing faith and obedience to God's promises.<p><b>(that is, Abraham)</b><br>The name change from Abram to Abraham is significant and occurs in <a href="/genesis/17-5.htm">Genesis 17:5</a>. "Abram" means "exalted father," while "Abraham" means "father of a multitude." This change signifies God's promise to make Abraham the father of many nations, a promise that is central to the Abrahamic covenant. This covenant includes the promise of land, descendants, and blessing, and is a key theme throughout the Old Testament. Abraham is also a type of Christ, as he is seen as a model of faith and obedience. In the New Testament, Abraham is frequently referenced as an example of faith (<a href="/romans/4-3.htm">Romans 4:3</a>, <a href="/hebrews/11-8.htm">Hebrews 11:8-19</a>), and his willingness to sacrifice Isaac is seen as a foreshadowing of God's sacrifice of His own Son, Jesus Christ. Abraham's life and faith journey are foundational for understanding God's redemptive plan throughout Scripture.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/abram/abraham.htm">Abram/Abraham</a></b><br>Originally named Abram, God later changed his name to Abraham, meaning "father of many nations" (<a href="/genesis/17-5.htm">Genesis 17:5</a>).
