She is recognized as a significant biblical figure, primarily known as the mother of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. Her name reflects a deep reverence for God, indicating her pious character and the faith she instilled in her children.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Jochebed lived during a tumultuous period in Israelite history when the Hebrews were enslaved in Egypt. Her faith and courage are highlighted in the narrative of Moses' birth, where she defied Pharaoh's edict to kill Hebrew male infants by hiding Moses for three months. Her actions set the stage for the deliverance of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage, as Moses would later become their leader and lawgiver.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3068.htm">Yhvh</a> and <a href="/hebrew/3513.htm">kabad</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"the LORD is glory," mother of Moses<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Jochebed (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">יוֺכֶ֫בֶד</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, feminine</b></font> <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ἰωχαβεδ</font> (<font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font> <em>is glory</em>;
