See note on Genesis 17:5. The idea of Raised-Father raised might lend to the image of Jesus’ self being lifted up and his new name Father-of-Multitude matches the drawing of men to himself, “Also-myself, if I am lifted up from out of the earth, the whole will draw toward myself.” John 12:32 literal Hence, in Genesis 17:5 he is “not again called-out Raised-Father.” |
