A father of many nations: Abram’s principal descendants are the Israelites, who are the centerpiece of biblical history and are the line from which the Savior Jesus comes. But Abram is also the father of other nations. He is the father of Ishmael and the Arab peoples (see ch. 16), as well as a number of other people groups descended from Keturah, a concubine (see 25:1–6).
Taken from NKJV Study Bible
““As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, And you will be the father of a multitude of nations.”
Genesis 17:4
