1. The Person to whom the Promise was made is Abraham. He was originally 1called Abram; [Greek or Hebrew] Pater excelsus, an high or exalted Father. God changed his Name upon the most signal Renovation of the Covenant with him into [Greek or Hebrew] Abraham, Gen. 17. 5. The reason and added signification whereof is given in the next words; for a Father of many Nations have I made thee. [Greek or Hebrew] is a multitude, and God now declaring that Abraham should not only be the Father of all the Nations that should proceed naturally from his Loins, but of all the Nations of the world that should afterwards embrace and imitate his Faith, interserts the first letter of Hamon a multitude into his name, that it might be unto him a perpetual memorial of the Grace and Favour of God, as also a continual confirmation of his Faith in the Promises, the Truth and Power of God being always suggested unto him by the name that he had given him.
