How does this verse connect to God's covenant promises in Exodus 6:20?

“Amram married his father’s sister Jochebed, and she bore him Aaron and Moses.” (Exodus 6:20)

• By naming the parents of Moses and Aaron, Exodus 6:20 shows the precise family line God preserved in Egypt so He could fulfill His promise to “bring out” Abraham’s descendants (Genesis 15:13-14; Exodus 6:6-8).

• Moses, the covenant mediator, and Aaron, the first high priest, both come from Levi, the tribe later set apart for priestly service—anticipating the sacrificial system that would anchor the Sinai covenant (Exodus 28:1; Numbers 3:10).

• The verse therefore links a seemingly simple genealogical note to the larger covenant storyline: God sovereignly prepares the very individuals through whom He will redeem His people, validate His word, and establish ongoing worship.

• That lineage ultimately points forward to the greater Mediator and High Priest, Jesus Christ, who completes and perfects the covenant hope foreshadowed here (Hebrews 3:1-6; 9:11-12).
