JOCHEBED.A sister of Kohath, married to Amram her nephew, and mother of Aaron and Moses (Exo_6:20) and Miriam (Num_26:59). An earlier writer, E [Note: Elohist.] , in narrating the birth of Moses, speaks of his mother as a daughter of Levi, but does not give her name (Exo_2:1).

("Jehovah her glory".) Aunt and wife of Amram (Exo_2:1; Exo_6:20; Num_26:59). But Jochebed could not be strictly daughter of Levi, for three centuries must have intervened between Levi's death and Moses' birth. Amram and Jochebed were descendants of Levi, seven or eight generations removed. In Moses' time the Kohathites, from Kohath Levi's son, were divided into four branches, Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, amounting to 8,600 males, of whom the Amramites were 2,000. Amram Kohath's son is therefore not Amram Moses' father. Omission of links in Scriptural genealogies is frequent.

Joch'ebed. (whose glory is Jehovah). The wife and, at the same time, the aunt of Amram, and the mother of Moses and Aaron. Exo_2:1; Exo_6:20; Num_26:59.

jok?ḗ-bed (יוכבד, yōkhebhedh, ?Yahweh is glory?): Daughter of Levi, wife of Amram and mother of Moses (Exo_6:20; Num_26:59). According to Exo_6:20, she was a sister of Kohath, Amram's father.

Joch?ebed (God-glorified), wife of Amram and mother of Miriam, Moses and Aaron. In Exo_6:20, Jochebed is expressly declared to have been the sister of Amram's father, and consequently the aunt of her husband. As marriage between persons thus related was afterwards forbidden by the law (Lev_18:12), various attempts have been made to show that the relationship was more distant than the text in its literal meaning indicates. We see no necessity for this. The mere mention of the relationship implies that there was something remarkable in the case; but if we show that nothing is remarkable, we do away the occasion for the relationship being at all noticed. The fact seems to be, that where this marriage was contracted, there was no law forbidding such alliances, but they must in any case have been unusual, although not forbidden; and this, with the writer's knowledge that they were subsequently interdicted, sufficiently accounts for this one being so pointedly mentioned. The candor of the historian in declaring himself to be sprung from a marriage, afterwards forbidden by the law, delivered through himself, deserves especial notice.

Jochebed
(Heb. Yoke'bed, יוֹכֶבֶד, Jehovah is her glory; Sept. Ιωχαβέδ or Ι᾿ωχάβεδ, the wife of Amram, and mother of Miriam, Aaron, and Moses (Num_26:59). B.C. 1738. In Exo_6:20 she is expressly declared to have been the sister of Amram's father, and consequently the aunt of her husband.

The candor of the historian in declaring himself to be sprung from a marriage afterwards forbidden by the law, delivered through himself, deserves especial notice. Kitto. In Num_26:59, Jochebed is stated to have been the daughter of Levi, whom her mother bore to Levi in Egypt, from which it likewise appears that she was literally the sister of Kohath, Levi's son and Amram's father (Exo_6:16; Exo_6:18. On the chronology, see Brown's Ordo Soeclorum, p. 301). The courage and faith of this tender mother in braving Pharaoh's edict by her ingenious secretion and subsequent exposure of the infant Moses (Exo_2:1-10) are alluded to with commendation by the apostle (Heb_11:23), and were signally rewarded by divine providence; to her pious example and precepts the future lawgiver doubtless owed much of that integrity which so eminently characterized him.
