 17:6
17:5 No longer shall you be called Abram. Your name shall become Abraham, for I have set you up as the father of a horde of nations.
Velo-yikare od et-shimecha Avram vehayah shimcha Avraham ki av-hamon goyim netaticha.
17:6 I will increase your numbers very, very much, and I will make you into nations - kings will be your descendants.
Vehifreti otcha bime'od me'od unetaticha legoyim umelachim mimcha yetse'u.


Commentary:

Abraham
  Avraham in Hebrew. It is related to Av Ham, the 'father of hordes,' but the 'r' is retained.
