Azrael’s Commentary — Amram, the son of Tobid
Master gardener, responsible for maintaining the city parks and gardens of Zion. He designed the wall gardens of Zion and created an artificial waterfall and cascade which adorned the gardens of the temple. His father, Tobid, was one of the Tetrarchs of the Sethian Empire who died at the battle of Paujen.
Notes/References:
...and on a certain day as Enoch went walking by the borders of Lake Ishan, the voice of the Lord came unto him, saying:
“Gather unto me the patriarchs of Zion and with them Amram, the son of Tobid and Ramoth, the son of Zetrah, and bring them unto a mount three days journey from you, for I desire that they should see the God of Zion, that their faith might increase unto holiness.”
So Enoch went and gathered unto himself the patriarchs of Zion and with them also did he bring Amram and Ramoth. And Enoch anointed them and consecrated them unto the Lord who called them....
Therefore, Enoch ascended the mount and with him went Amram, the son of Tobid, and Ramoth, the son of Zetrah, and all the patriarchs also.
