===Birth and Name of Abraham=====

Abraham appears to have been born around the year 2,166 BCE. In the book of <i>B'resheith/Genesis</i>, <i>J</i> Strand, indicates that Abraham's original name was Abram. Etymologically the name suggests it was had really been <i>Abi-ram</i> [i.e. "the (my) father is exalted."]. Again, according to <i>B'resheith/Genesis</i>, Abram was not given the name of <i>Abraham</i> until after the birth of his first son, Ismael.
