Genesis 17:5

You shall no longer be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham.
[God adds the letter h (Hebr. He), so the name becomes Abraham. This is significant because the Hebr. letter He is pronounced as an exhalation. It sounds like when you blow air to clean a pair of glasses. God breathes His Spirit into Abraham's name! With the help of God's Spirit, the miracle will happen! In Hebrew, the names are pronounced Avram and Avraham. Sarai also gets a new name—Sarah, see verse 15.]
For I will make you the father of many peoples (nations).
