Exegesis
The Hebrew phrase begins with the proper name avram {אַבְרָ֖ם | ʾă-v-rā-m}, followed by the independent pronoun hu {ה֥וּא | hū} functioning as an equative particle, then the proper name avraham {אַבְרָהָֽם | ʾă-vrā-hām} in apposition. Hebrew equative clauses typically omit a copula, relying on juxtaposition and hu ‘he’ to express identity. In English, a copula (“is,” “who is the same as”) is inserted to convey the equivalence clearly while preserving the underlying nominal equation characteristic of genealogical registers.
In context — 1 Chronicles 1:27
Abram—he is Abraham .
