Genesis 17:5
Douay-Rheims
Neither shall thy name be called any more Abram: but thou shalt be called Abraham: because I have made thee a father of many nations.
George Leo Haydock
Abraham. Abram, in the Hebrew, signifies a high father; but Abraham, the father of the multitude: Sarai signifies my Lady, but Sara absolutely Lady. (Challoner) — God thus receives them as it were into his own family. (Calmet)
