- Exodus 2:1–9
Now a man of the house of Levi married a daughter of Levi,
Commentary on Exodus 2:1–92 voices
And there went a man of the house of Levi,.... This man was Amram, the son of Kohath, and grandson of Levi, as appears from Exo 6:18. and took to wife a daughter of Levi; one of the same house, family, or tribe; which was proper, that the tribes might be kept distinct: this was Jochebed, said to be his father's sister; see Gill on Exo 6:20, her name in Josephus (s) is Joachebel, which seems to be no other than a corruption of Jochebed, but in the Targum in 1Ch 4:18 she is called Jehuditha.

John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
There went a man - Amram, son of Kohath, son of Levi, Exo 6:16-20. A daughter of Levi, Jochebed, sister to Kohath, and consequently both the wife and aunt of her husband Amram, Exo 6:20; Num 26:59. Such marriages were at this time lawful, though they were afterwards forbidden, Lev 18:12. But it is possible that daughter of Levi means no more than a descendant of that family, and that probably Amram and Jochebed were only cousin germans.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Exodus 6:20

John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed

John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
- Numbers 26:59
and Amram’s wife was named Jochebed. She was also a daughter of Levi, born to Levi in Egypt. To Amram she bore Aaron, Moses, and their sister Miriam.
Commentary on Numbers 26:591 voice
whom her mother bare - literally, whom she bare; the subject is wanting, and the verb is in the feminine gender. The words her mother are merely conjectural. The text is probably imperfect.
