Verse 59

59. Jochebed Fully discussed in Exodus 6:20, note.

Whom… bare to Levi There is an omission of the subject in the Hebrew. The implication is, that Levi’s lawful wife was not the mother of Jochebed. “It cannot be Levi’s wife, as Jarshi, Aben Ezra, and others suppose; for Jochebed, the mother of Moses, was not a daughter of Levi in the strict sense of the word, but only a descendant who lived about three hundred years after Levi; just as Amram, her husband, was not actually the son of the Amram mentioned Exodus 6:18, but a later descendant.” Keil.

Miriam Probably the sister who watched the ark of bulrushes amid the flags of the Nile. Exodus 2:4.
