He is mentioned in the Book Of Exodus . According to the Talmud , Amram promulgated the laws of Marriage and Divorce amongst the Jews in Egypt. The Arabic version refers to the father of Moses as Imran - and the Israeli/Jewish people are referred to as "Aale Imran" (Children of Imran) in the Qur'an , the third Surah of which is titled ''The House of Imran''. "Imran" is also the name attributed by Muslims to the father of the Virgin Mary (he is not named in the Bible, but called "Joachim" in Catholic and Orthodox Tradition). The Testament of Amram ( 2nd Century BC ) is the name assigned to one of the Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q535, Manuscript B). It is related to the Watchers : ''. ... I replied to him, 'This Watcher, who is he?' He answered, 'This Watcher ... his three names are Belial and Prince Of Darkness and King Of Evil .' I said (to the other Watcher), 'My lord, what dominion (have you?)' He answered, 'You saw (the viper), and he is empowered over all Darkness, while I (am empowered over all Light.) ... My three names are Michael , Prince Of Light and King Of Righteousness .'"'' (translation Prof. Robert Eisenman) |
