The word father in scripture is never only biological. In the ancient Near East, ab (Hebrew ’āb, Akkadian abum) meant not just a parent but a founder, a mentor, or a covenantal head of a lineage. In both Abraham 1 and the Book of Mormon title page, the term carries this layered meaning—genealogical, spiritual, and covenantal. The difference between my fathers and the fathers in Abraham 1 exposes the tension between apostate ancestry and righteous adoption, between inherited culture and chosen covenant.
