Her name reflects a deep reverence for God, indicating her pious character and the faith she instilled in her children. Cultural and Historical Background: Jochebed lived during a tumultuous period in Israelite history when the Hebrews were enslaved in Egypt.

Her actions set the stage for the deliverance of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage, as Moses would later become their leader and lawgiver.
