When God made the covenant with Abram, his name meant “Exalted father” (Gen. 12:1-3; 13:14-18), but later this name was changed to Abraham, meaning “father of many” (Gen. 17:5-8). This covenant is so important to know, because it is the foundational covenant. Not only is this a foundational covenant, but it also indicates God forming His nation, His people, the people of Israel.
