JOCHEBED jŏk’ ə bĕd (יﯴכֶ֤בֶד, Yahweh is glory). A daughter of Levi, and sister of Kohath; the wife of Amram; and the mother of Aaron, Moses, and Miriam (Exod 6:20; Num 26:59). Her name appears to be compounded with the divine name Yahweh; but because this would mean that the name Yahweh was known before the time of Moses, some scholars think it ought not to be understood in this sense.
