Abram Watson's Biblical & Theological Dictionary

אברם, _a high father_; and ABRAHAM, אבררם, _father of a great multitude_, the son of Terah, born at Ur, a city of Chaldea, A. M. 2008. The account of this eminent patriarch occupies so large a part of the book of Genesis, and stands so intimately connected with both the Jewish and Christian dispensations,--with the one by a political and religious, and with the other by a mystical, relation,--that his history demands particular notice. Our account may be divided into his _personal history_, and his _typical, and mystic character_.
