Genesis 17:1-27 NLT Text Notes

*Gen 17:5 Abram means “exalted father”; Abraham sounds like a Hebrew term that means “father of many.”

*Gen 17:7 Hebrew seed; also in 17:7b, 8, 9, 10, 19.

*Gen 17:15 Sarai and Sarah both mean “princess”; the change in spelling may reflect the difference in dialect between Ur and Canaan.

*Gen 17:19 Isaac means “he laughs.”
