<p> (אך or , <i> ''''' 'ābh ''''' </i> or <i> ''''' 'abh ''''' </i> , the [[Hebrew]] and [[Aramaic]] word for "father"): It is a very common word in the Old Testament; this article notes only certain uses of it. It is used both in the singular and in the plural to denote a grandfather or more remote ancestors (e.g. &nbsp;Jeremiah 35:16 , &nbsp;Jeremiah 35:15 ). The father of a people or tribe is its founder, not, as is frequently assumed, its progenitor. In this sense [[Abraham]] is father to the [[Israelites]] (see, for example, &nbsp;Genesis 17:11-14 , &nbsp;Genesis 17:27 ), Isaac and Jacob and the heads of families being fathers in the same modified sense. The cases of Ishmael, Moab, etc., are similar. The traditional originator of a craft is the father of those who practice the craft (e.g. &nbsp;Genesis 4:20 , &nbsp;Genesis 4:21 , &nbsp;Genesis 4:22 ). [[Sennacherib]] uses the term "my fathers" of his predecessors on the throne of Assyria, though these were not his ancestors (&nbsp;2 Kings 19:12 ). The term is used to express worth and affection irrespective of blood relation (e.g. &nbsp;2 Kings 13:14 ). A ruler or leader is spoken of as a father. God is father. A frequent use of the word is that in the composition of proper names, e.g. Abinadab, "my father is noble." See [[Abi]] . </p> <p> The Aramaic word in its definite form is used three times in the New [[Testament]] (&nbsp;Mark 4:6 ), the phrase being in each case "Abba Father," addressed to God. In this phrase the word "Father" is added, apparently, not as a mere translation, nor to indicate that Abba is thought of as a proper name of Deity, but as a term of pleading and of endearment. See also [[Abba]] . </p>

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [1]

( אָב , Father), occurs as the first member of several compound Hebrew proper names, e.g. (See Abner), (See Absalom), etc. not as a patronymic (See Ben), or in its literal acceptation, but in a figurative sense, to designate some quality or circumstance of the person named; e.g. Possessor Of or Endowed With; after the analogy of all the Shemitic languages (Gesenius, Thes. Heb. p. 7; in Arabic generally Abu-, see D'Herbelot, Biblioth. Orient. s.v.). (See Father); (See Proper Name). Hence it is equally applicable to females; e.g. (See Abigail) (as among the Arabs; comp. Kosegarten, in Ewalds ‘ Zeitschrift Fur Die Kunde Des Morgenlandes, 1:297-317). In all cases it is the following part of the name that is to be considered as the genitive, the prefix אב being "in the construct," and not the reverse. (See Abi)-.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [2]
