In the Book of Exodus, Amram () Arabic عمران Imran, is the father of Aaron, Moses, and Miriam and the husband of Jochebed.

The first one is Amram the father of Moses and the second one is Joachim the father of Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Although Muslim scholars have often debated over who this verse refers to, most classical commentators and modern translators have taken the opinion that this refers to Amram, the father of Moses and Aaron.

The Exodus Rabbah argues that when the Pharaoh instructed midwives to throw male children into the Nile, Amram divorced Jochebed, who was three months pregnant with Moses at the time, arguing that there was no justification for the Israelite men to father children if they were just to be killed ; however, the text goes on to state that Miriam, his daughter, chided him for his lack of care for his wife's feelings, persuading him to recant and marry Jochebed again.

A similar genealogy is given in the Book of Exodus, where it is added that among Kohath's sons was one — Amram — who married a woman named Jochebed, who was closely related to his father, and they were the biological parents of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam ; though some Greek and Latin manuscripts of the Torah state that Jochebed was Amram's father's cousin, the masoretic text states that she was his father's sister, and the Septuagint mentions that she was one of his father's sisters.

Also in The Dead Sea Scrolls is a recounting of a dream of Amram, the father of Moses, who finds two ' watchers ' contesting over him.

According to the Torah, Izhar () was the father of Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri, and was a son of Kohath and grandson of Levi, consequently being the brother of Amram and uncle of Aaron, Miriam, and Moses.

The Qur ' an refers to Mary as being from the " house of Amram ", which is a reference to Amram, the father of Moses, Aaron and Miriam, through whom Mary descended.

Mary is further called the " daughter of Amram ", which has again been interpreted to refer to her ancestor rather than her actual father, who is unnamed in the Qur ' an, but to whom Christian tradition applies the name Joachim.

Mary's father is called Amram in tradition and is the equivalent of Joachim in Christian tradition.

In the Book of Exodus, Kohath is described as having four sons-Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel-with Amram marrying a woman named Jochebed, and becoming the biological father of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

According to the Torah, Uzziel (, meaning El is my strength or God is my strength ) was the father of Mishael, Elzaphan, and Zithri, and was a son of Kohath and grandson of Levi, consequently being the brother of Amram and uncle of Aaron, Miriam, and Moses.

Not the sons of Moses — as Moses himself had expected — but Joshua was appointed successor to the son of Amram ( Midrash Numbers Rabbah xii ).

According to the Book of Exodus, Moses was a son of Amram, a member of the Levite tribe of Israel descended from Jacob, and his wife, Jochebed.

There was also on the top of the throne a golden candelabrum, on the seven branches of the one side of which were engraved the names of the seven patriarchs Adam, Noah, Shem, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Job, and on the seven of the other the names of Levi, Kohath, Amram, Moses, Aaron, Eldad, Medad, and, in addition, Hur ( another version has Haggai ).

Miriam () was the sister of Moses and Aaron, and the daughter of Amram and Jochebed.

The Exodus Rabbah argues that when the Pharaoh instructed midwives to throw male children into the Nile, Amram divorced Jochebed, who was three months pregnant with Moses at the time, but Miriam soon persuaded him to marry Jochebed again ; it goes on to argue that the Egyptians estimated the date that Moses would be due to be born by counting nine months from the start of this marriage, hence allowing Jochebed to hide him for the three months that were overestimated.

These explanations of the prayers make no reference to any authorities later than the following: Natronai II, Amram's teacher ( 17 times ), Shalom, Natronai's predecessor in the gaonate ( 7 times ), Judah, Paltoi, Zadok, and Moses, geonim before Amram ( once each ) Cohen Tzedek ( twice ), Nahshon and Tzemach, contemporaries of Amram ( twice each ), and Nathan of unknown date.

For this reason, to a modern reader the wording of the Seder Rav Amram appears far closer to an Ashkenazic than a Sephardic text, a fact which misled Moses Gaster into believing that the Ashkenazic rite was based on the Babylonian while the Sephardic rite was essentially Palestinian.

* 1597 BC — Aaron born to Amram and his wife Jochebed ( traditional date ).

* 1597 BC — Aaron born to Amram and his wife Jochebed ( traditional date )

She lived in the household of Amram, and is said to have been a descendant of the prophet and priest Aaron.

Muslim scholars and commentators have seen the Qur ' an's statement of Mary being a " daughter of Amram " as similar to the description of Elizabeth in the Gospel of Luke as being one of the " daughters of Aaron "; they interpret both of these phrases as referring to ancestral fathers, rather than literal fathers.

In addition to being married to Jochebed, Amram is also described in the Bible as having been related to Jochebed prior to the marriage, although the exact relationship is uncertain ; some Greek and Latin manuscripts of the Septuagint state that Jochebed was Amram's father's cousin, and others state that Amram was Jochebed's cousin, but the Masoretic text states that he was Jochebed's nephew.

In the Apocryphal Testament of Levi, it is stated that Amram was born, as a grandson of Levi, when Levi was 64 years old.

One of the Dead Sea Scrolls ( 4Q535, Manuscript B ) is written from Amram's point of view, and hence has been dubbed the Testament of Amram.

The oldest version of the Kaddish is found in the Siddur of Rab Amram Gaon, c. 900.

This is included in the Siddur of Amram Gaon, but is a meditation taking the place of Kaddish rather than a Kaddish in the normal sense.

This is in accordance with the older text of the formula as it is preserved in the Siddur of Amram Gaon.

The Siddur ( prayerbook ) of Saadia Gaon is the earliest surviving attempt to transcribe the weekly ritual of Jewish prayers for week-days, Sabbaths, and festivals ( apart from the prayer book of Amram Gaon, of which there is no authoritative text ).

The Targum Pseudo-Jonathan identifies Jochebed as also having been wife of Elitzaphon Ben Parnach, and the mother of Eldad and Medad ; the text is ambiguous as to when this marriage occurred in relation to the marriage ( s ) to Amram.

Many Jews of Morocco consider Ouezzane to be a holy city and make pilgrimages there to venerate the tomb of several marabouts ( Moroccan saints ), particularly moul Anrhaz, the local name for Rabbi Amram ben Diwan, an eighteenth-century rabbi who lived in the city and whose burial site is associated with a number of miracles.

Meretz is afraid of Yossi Beilin, who was pushed out of the Avoda by Amram Mitzna and his leftist friends and that Meretz also didn't give him a realist position on its list.

His Prayer-Book ( Siddur Rab Amram or Seder Rav Amram ), which took the form of a long responsum to the Jews of Spain, is still extant and was an important influence on most of the current rites in use among the Jews.

According to the Talmud, Amram promulgated the laws of marriage and divorce amongst the Jews in Egypt ; the Talmud also argues that Amram had extreme longevity, which he used to ensure that doctrines were preserved through several generations.

Despite the legend of his divorce and remarriage, Amram was also held to have been entirely sinless throughout his life, and was rewarded for this by his corpse remaining without any signs of decay.

Prior to his death, according to the Book of Jubilees, Amram was among those who went to Egypt and recovered the bones of the sons of his grandfather and great uncles ( excluding those of Joseph which had already been brought to Canaan ), so that they could be reburied in the cave of Machpelah.

Jochebed, the wife of the Levite Amram, bore a son and kept him concealed for three months.

The earliest existing codification of the prayerbook was drawn up by Rav Amram Gaon of Sura, Babylon, about 850 CE.
