304.0. "Who are Moses' Parents?" by AKOV88::SHEPRO (Good enough for Gov't Work) Fri May 01 1987 06:51

From EXODUS, Chapter 2 -----

    And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a
daughter of Levi.  And the woman conceived and bore a son: and when she 
saw that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.  And when she 
could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and 
daubed it with slime and with pitch...etc.

    As you can guess, this small child grew up to become MOSES.  Does 
the Bible make mention of Moses' parents names? (ie. Moses, the son of???)

Moses' father was named Amram, and his mother was named Jochebed.

They were from the tribe of Levi, and if I am not mistaken, they were cousins.
