jochebed

     

Accoring to the Torah, Jochebed (Hebrew: ''יוֹכֶבֶד' / 'יוֹכָבֶד', Standard Yoḫéved / Yoḫáved Tiberian Yôḵéḇeḏ / Yôḵāḇeḏ ; Yah is glory/"Yahweh is glory") was the mother of Aaron, Moses, and Miriam, and the wife of Amram. Jochebed is also described as being related to Amram prior to her marriage to him, although the exact relationship is uncertain; some Greek and Latin manuscripts of the Septuagint state that Jochebed was Amram's father's cousin, and others state that Jochebed was Amram's cousin, but the masoretic text states that she was Amram's aunt - although Jochebed's relationship to Levi is not explicitly stated. In the Apocryphal Testament of Levi, it is stated that Jochebed was born, as a daughter of Levi, when Levi was 64 years old.
