Exegesis
The construct chain av-hamon goyim {אַב־הֲמ֥וֹן גּוֹיִ֖ם | ʾaḇ-hā-môn gô-yim} ‘father of a multitude of nations’ integrates role and scope, and the perfect netattikha {נְתַתִּֽיךָ | nətattîḵā} ‘I have made you’ serves as an authoritative divine declaration. The wordplay between Avraham and av-hamon supports preserving the renaming structure and the adjacency of the causal clause for rhetorical effect.
In context — Genesis 17:5
Your name will no longer be Abram; instead, your name will be Abraham, because I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.
