However, her story and influence are acknowledged in the broader biblical narrative and Jewish tradition. Usage: Jokebed is used as a proper noun, specifically as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Jokebed is a significant biblical figure known as the mother of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. She is a member of the tribe of Levi and is married to Amram, her nephew, as noted in Exodus 6:20. Jokebed's story is primarily found in the Book of Exodus, where she is depicted as a woman of faith and courage. During a time when Pharaoh had decreed the death of all Hebrew male infants, Jokebed defied the king's edict by hiding her son Moses for three months. When she could no longer conceal him, she placed him in a basket and set it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile River. Her actions ultimately led to Moses being discovered and adopted by Pharaoh's daughter, setting the stage for his future role as the deliverer of Israel. Jokebed's faith and maternal instincts are celebrated in the biblical narrative, highlighting her as a pivotal figure in the history of the Israelites. Her legacy is further underscored by her children's significant roles in the Exodus and the establishment of Israelite worship and leadership.
