| − | <p>Throughout the chapter Avram is referred to by his proper name alone, with one exception. In Bereshit 14:13, when he first appears on the scene, he is called “אַבְרָם הָעִבְרִי”. By clicking on the word “Ha-Ivri” and reading the Concordance entries, one can see that this is an appellation that is always used in contexts that involve non-Jews. The BDB definition emphasizes that the term “Ivri” is generally used by non-Israelites and serves “to distinguish Israel from foreigners.”</p>

| − | <p>This may explain the statement in Midrash Rabbah on this verse that Avraham is called “Ha-Ivri” because he stood on one side, while everyone else in the world stood on the other side. </p>
