Exegesis
Abraam {Ἀβραὰμ | Abraám} ‘Abraham’ occupies the emphatic initial position, followed by ho patēr hēmōn {ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν | ho patḗr hēmôn} ‘our father’ in apposition, underscoring his representative role.
In context — James 2:21
Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar ?
