Woman living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness
Jochebed
The daughter of Levi, born in Egypt, who became the wife of Amram, her nephew; she bore Aaron, Moses, and Miriam (Exodus 6:20; Numbers 26:59). When Pharaoh ordered the Hebrew baby boys killed, she hid Moses three months and then laid him in a papyrus basket in the reeds by the river; Pharaoh’s daughter took him in, and Jochebed was paid to nurse her own son (Exodus 2:1–10).
