- Exodus 2:1–9
Now a man of the house of Levi married a daughter of Levi,
Commentary on Exodus 2:1–91 voice
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.

- Exodus 6:20
And Amram married his father’s sister Jochebed, and she bore him Aaron and Moses. Amram lived 137 years.
Commentary on Exodus 6:201 voice
His father’s sister - דדתו dodatho. The true meaning of this word is uncertain. Parkhurst observes that דוד dod signifies an uncle in 1Sa 10:14; Lev 10:4, and frequently elsewhere. It signifies also an uncle’s son, a cousin-german: compare Jer 32:8 with Exo 6:12, where the Vulgate renders דדי dodi by patruelis mei, my paternal cousin; and in Amo 6:10, for דודו dodo, the Targum has קריביה karibiah, his near relation. So the Vulgate, propinquus ejus, his relative, and the Septuagint, οἱ οικειοι αυτων, those of their household.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
- 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.
