The [[Bible]] does not give a specific date of Amram's birth. But the Bible says that Amram lived 137 years. Using this figure and also the life spans of [[Levi]] (137 years) and [[Kohath]] (133 years), [[Floyd Nolen Jones]] estimates that Amram was likely born in 2358 AM (1646 BC) and died about eighteen years prior to the [[Exodus of Israel]].

Amram made an unusual marriage with his aunt [[Jochebed]]. This type of marriage would later be expressly forbidden by Levitical law. ({{Bible ref|book=Leviticus|chap=18|verses=12}}) They had three children, named [[Miriam]], [[Aaron]], and [[Moses]]. Miriam gained a reputation as a [[prophet]]ess, Aaron became the first [[High Priest]], and Moses became the first civil leader and [[Judge (biblical)|Judge]] of national Israel.
