But (B)your name shall be [b]Abraham;

Genesis 22:17-24
New American Standard Bible 1995
17 indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly (A)multiply your [a]seed as the stars of the heavens and as (B)the sand which is on the seashore; and (C)your [b]seed shall possess the gate of [c]their enemies. 18 (D)In your [d]seed all the nations of the earth shall [e]be blessed, because you have (E)obeyed My voice.” 19 (F)So Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham lived at Beersheba.
20 Now it came about after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, “Behold, (G)Milcah [f]also has borne children to your brother Nahor: 21 Uz his firstborn and Buz his brother and Kemuel the father of Aram 22 and Chesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph and Bethuel.” 23 Bethuel [g]became the father of (H)Rebekah; these eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother. 24 His concubine, whose name was Reumah, [h]also bore Tebah and Gaham and Tahash and Maacah.
