“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.”
See: Amram, Sethian Empire
Summary: According to Azrael’s Commentary, Tobid was one of the Tetrarchs of the Sethian Empire who died at the battle of Paujen (AZC — Amram, son of Tobid). Tobid is only mentioned in association with his son Amram, “the son of Tobid” (B:8:2, 6). Amram was a master gardener who helped establish the city of Zion.
Notes/References:
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.
