("Jehovah her glory".) Aunt and wife of Amram (Exodus 2:1; Exodus 6:20; Numbers 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.
From the co-author of the classic Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary, Fausset's Bible Dictionary stands as one of the best single-volume Bible encyclopedias ever written for general use. The author's writing style is always clear and concise, and he tackles issues important to the average student of the Bible, not just the Biblical scholars. This makes Fausset an excellent tool for both everyday Bible study and in-depth lesson or sermon preparation.Wikipedia
