2008. Verse 5. And thy name shall no more be called Abram; and thy name shall be Abraham, for a father of a multitude of nations have I made thee. “Thy name shall no more be called Abram,” signifies that He will put off the human; “and thy name shall be Abraham,” signifies that He will put on the Divine; “for a father of a multitude of nations have I made thee,” signifies here, as before, that all truth and the good thence derived come from Him.
