Which Torah is correct and which is wrong? 


How long did Amram live depends what Torah you read? Also notice how the Septuagint tells us Amram married his fathers brothers daughter, contradicting the Masoretic and Samaritan where he married his fathers sister which means he married his Aunty?

----------------

And Ambram took to wife Jochabed the daughter of his father’s brother, and she bore to him both Aaron and Moses, and Mariam their sister: and the years of the life of Ambram were a hundred and thirty-two years. (Exodus 6:20 Septuagint Torah)


And Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and she bare him Aaron and Moses and Miriam their sister: and the years of the life of Amram [were] an hundred and thirty and six years. (Exodus 6:20 Samaritan Torah)


Amram married his father's sister Jochebed, who bore him Aaron and Moses. Amram lived 137 years. (Exodus 6:20 Masoretic Torah) 

----------------

Note the Latin vulgate Torah specifically tells us Amram married his Aunty:


And Amram took to wife Jochabed his aunt by the father's side: and she bore him Aaron and Moses. And the years of Amram's life, were a hundred and thirty-seven. 
(Exodus 6:20 Latin vulgate Torah)

In short did Amram live 132 years 136 years or 137 years did he marry his Aunty or his uncles daughter? 


IF THIS IS NOT CORRUPTION OF TEXT THEN WHAT IS IT !!! Wake up

According to the Bible, Abraham married his sister and niece?


And besides, she is in truth my sister, my father’s daughter though not my mother’s; and she became my wife. (Genesis 20:12)

Here we read Abraham telling Abimelech, Sarah is his sister. However, if we go back a few chapters we read Sarah was his niece?

Abram and Nahor took to themselves wives, the name of Abram’s wife being Sarai and that of Nahor’s wife Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah and Iscah. (Genesis 11:29)

the above verse tells us something interesting. Notice how alongside Milcah has the name “Iscah” is used. The question is who is Iscah? Lets find out from Rashi a renowned Jewish Scholar and commentator

יסכה JISCAH — This was Sarah; she was also named Jiscah (from a root meaning “”to see”, “to look”) because she could see the future by holy inspiration, and because everybody looked (gazed) at her beauty (Megillah 14a). The name Jiscah also has reference to princely dignity (נסיכות) just as the name Sarah (שרה) has an allusion to “ruling’’(שררה).

Just for the record, the Haran was Abrahams brother
“And these are the generations of Terah; Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran” (Genesis 11:27).

The Talmud also makes mention that Sarah was also known as Iscah
The Gemara rejects this proof: But how can you understand that Sarah wasAbraham’s sister? She was his brother’s daughter. By tradition, it is known that Sarah was Haran’s daughter Iscah.  (Sanhedrin 58b)


There you have it according to the Bible, Abraham married both his sister and niece?

Amram gets his brother to marry Mariam his daughter?


4Q543, fr. 1 (4Q545, 546)

 I Copy of the book of the words of the vision of Amram, son of Kehat, son of Levi, al[1 that] he explained to his sons and enjoined on them on the day of [his] death, in his one-hundred-and-thirty-seventh year, which was the year of his death, [in] the one-hundred-and-fifty-second year of Israel’s exile in Egypt ... to call Uzziel, his youngest brother, and he ma[rried] to him Miriam, [his] daughter, and said (to her), ‘You are thirty years old.’ And he gave a banquet lasting seven days.
