Amramic

Amramic is an adjective used in biblical and scholarly contexts to describe things relating to Amram, a figure in the Hebrew Bible who is described as the husband of Jochebed and the father of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. In this sense, Amramic can refer to the Amram family lineage, traditions attributed to Amram’s descendants, or artifacts associated with that line, especially within the Levite priestly sphere.

The term is formed from the proper name Amram plus the suffix -ic and is not widely attested in primary ancient sources. It appears mainly in modern scholarly writing, commentary, and occasionally in literary or historical discussions to distinguish material connected to Amram’s line from other Israelite families.

In reference usage, Amramic materials typically concern genealogical lists, priestly roles, and liturgical or ritual practices attributed to Amram’s descendants. Because Amram is the father of Moses and Aaron, Amramic associations are often linked to leadership in the Exodus narrative and the development of priestly tradition, though there is no separate cultural group formally named the Amramites in the biblical canon.

In contemporary writing, the term may appear in academic works, encyclopedic entries, or speculative fiction to denote artifacts, traditions, or ideologies tied to Amram’s lineage. See also: Amram, Moses, Aaron, Levi, Kohanim.
