Explanation:

1) Abram [“exalted father”] was the original name of Abraham [“father of a multitude”].  Abraham’s call was very special. God called him out of a rebellious world to be a conduit for salvation. He is a pivotal character in redemptive history. It is a story of how God reveals Himself to a man, calls and chooses him for a daunting mission, and then tests him to see how he will respond – to see if he has the capacity to carry out the mission successfully.

2) According to Matthew 1:1–17 begins the Gospel, "A record of the origin of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham: Abraham begot Isaac…" and continues on until "…and Jacob begot Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ."
