Where are Amram and Jochebed mentioned in the Bible?

The question of Jochebed's kinship to Amram arises from the statement in Ex. 6:20: “Amram took to wife his father's sister Jochebed.” Amram was the son of Kohath and the grandson of Levi, while Jochebed was the daughter of Levi, and therefore his aunt.

Who is Amram and Jochebed in the Bible?

Amram was the son of Kohath, who was a son of Levi. This would make Jochebed the aunt of Amram, her husband. This kind of marriage between relatives was later forbidden by the law of Moses. Jochebed is also called Amram's father's sister in the Masoretic text of Exodus 6:20, but ancient translations differ in this.
