<p> '''''am´ram''''' ( <span> עמרם </span> , <i> '''''‛amrām''''' </i> , "people exalted"): </p> <p> (1) [[Father]] of Aaron, [[Moses]] and [[Miriam]] ( <span> [[Exodus]] 6:20 </span> ; <span> [[Numbers]] 26:59 </span> ; <span> 1 [[Chronicles]] 6:3 </span> ; <span> 1 Chronicles 23:13 </span> ); and a son of Kohath, the son of [[Levi]] ( <span> Exodus 6:18 </span> ; <span> Numbers 3:19 </span> , etc.). It is not certain that he was <i> literally </i> the son of Kohath, but rather his descendant, since there were ten generations from [[Joseph]] to [[Joshua]] ( <span> 1 Chronicles 7:20-27 </span> ), while only four are actually mentioned from Levi to Moses for the corresponding period. [[Moreover]] the [[Kohathites]] at the time of the Exodus numbered 8,600 ( <span> Numbers 3:28 </span> ), which would therefore have been an impossibility if only two generations had lived. It seems best to regard [[Amram]] as a descendant of Kohath, and his wife [[Jochebed]] as a "daughter of Levi" in a general sense. </p> <p> (2) [[One]] of the Bani, who in the days of [[Ezra]] had taken a foreign wife ( <span> Ezra 10:34 </span> ). </p> <p> (3) [[In]] <span> 1 Chronicles 1:41 </span> (the [[King]] [[James]] Version) for the properly read [[Hamran]] of the [[Revised]] [[Version]] (British and American) ( <span> חמרן </span> , <i> '''''ḥamrān''''' </i> ), a Horite, who in <span> [[Genesis]] 36:26 </span> is called [[Hemdan]] (which see). </p> | |||

<p> (Heb., Amrram', <span> עִמְרָם </span> , <span> kindred of </span> the <span> High, </span> i.e. <span> friend of Jehovah; </span> Sept. in <span> [[Exodus]] 6:20 </span> , <span> Ἀμβράμ </span> ; in <span> 1 [[Chronicles]] 1:41 </span> , <span> Ε᾿μερών </span> v. r. <span> Ἀμαδά </span> , [where the text has <span> חִמְרָן </span> ; <span> Chaemran', </span> marg. <span> Hamrana </span> ] <span> ; </span> elsewhere <span> Ἀμράμ </span> ) <span> , </span> the name of two or three men. </p> <p> <span> 1. </span> The son of Kohath, the son of Levi; he married Jochebed, "his father's sister," by whom he had Aaron, Miriam, and [[Moses]] ( <span> Exodus 6:18 </span> ; <span> [[Numbers]] 3:19 </span> ). [[He]] died in Egypt, aged 137 years ( <span> Exodus 6:20 </span> ), B.C. ante 1658. [[Before]] the giving of the law, it was permitted to marry a father's sister, but this was afterward forbidden ( <span> [[Leviticus]] 18:12 </span> ). [[His]] descendants were sometimes <span> called [[Amramites]] </span> ( <span> Numbers 3:27 </span> ; <span> 1 Chronicles 26:23 </span> ). </p> <p> <span> 2. </span> [[One]] of the "sons" of Bani, who, after the return from Babylon, separated from his [[Gentile]] wife ( <span> [[Ezra]] 10:34 </span> ), B.C. 459. </p> <p> <span> 3. </span> A descendant of [[Esau]] ( <span> 1 Chronicles 1:41 </span> ). [[In]] <span> [[Genesis]] 36:26 </span> , he is called more correctly HEMDAN (See [[Hemdan]]) (q.v.). </p> | |||
