How do i query splunk for latest and earliest time based on epoch time rather than human readable time?

I have a field called as "impact_time" which has human readable dates in it. Now i want to query splunk for a range of impact_time. The only problem is that the earliest and latest time that i have is in epoch format. How do i make splunk query based on the epoch time range that i am passing?
