Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Amrami" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew family designation. However, related Greek terms might include those referring to Levites or priestly duties.

Usage: The term "Amrami" refers to a descendant or member of the family of Amram. Amram was a significant figure in the Hebrew Bible, known as the father of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. The Amramites were a Levitical family, part of the Kohathite division, responsible for specific duties related to the tabernacle and later the temple.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, the Levites were a tribe set apart for religious duties. The Amramites, as descendants of Amram, were part of the Kohathite clan within the Levites. The Kohathites had the special responsibility of caring for the most sacred objects of the tabernacle, including the Ark of the Covenant, the table, the lampstand, the altars, and the sacred utensils. This role underscored the importance of the Amramites in maintaining the spiritual and religious life of Israel.
