Numbers 26:59The name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt: and she bore to Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister.
The setting
Plains of Moab, Jordan Valley. ~1406 BC. Moses records his own family line in the census. Jochebed's name means 'Yahweh is glory' - she was born in Egypt during 400 years of slavery.
The emotion here: profound gratitude while recording his own mother's legacy
The original word
Yokheved (יוֹכֶבֶד) — 'Yahweh is glory,' showing faith maintained even in slavery
Why it matters
Jochebed defied Pharaoh's death decree and hid Moses for three months as a baby
