am´ram ( עמרם , ‛amrām , "people exalted"):
(1) Father of Aaron, Moses and Miriam ( Exodus 6:20 ; Numbers 26:59 ; 1 Chronicles 6:3 ; 1 Chronicles 23:13 ); and a son of Kohath, the son of Levi ( Exodus 6:18 ; Numbers 3:19 , etc.). It is not certain that he was literally the son of Kohath, but rather his descendant, since there were ten generations from Joseph to Joshua ( 1 Chronicles 7:20-27 ), 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 ( Numbers 3:28 ), which would therefore have been an impossibility if only two generations had lived.
