- >In a real sense, Creation now begins anew, for it was Abraham who would bear the burdens of holiness in the world. His name signifies this. At first he was Abram, a contraction of אב ארם, father [i.e. teacher] of Aram, for he began as a leader of only his own nation, but ultimately he became a father to the whole world [see 17:5] (Rashi). The Talmud [Bava Basra 91a] records that Abraham's mother was Amathlai, daughter of Karnebo.
