Exodus 6:20 Summary

Exodus 6:20 tells us about Amram, the father of Aaron and Moses, who married his father's sister Jochebed and had two very important sons. This verse reminds us that family is important to God, and that He can use anyone, regardless of their family background, to do great things (as seen in 1 Samuel 2:1-10). Amram's long life of 137 years is also a testament to God's blessing and provision, and encourages us to trust in His plan for our lives (Psalm 37:3-7). By reflecting on Amram's life and family, we can learn valuable lessons about faith, courage, and the importance of honoring our family ties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who was Amram and why is he important in the Bible?

Amram was the father of Aaron and Moses, and his marriage to Jochebed, his father's sister, is mentioned in Exodus 6:20. This family relationship is significant because it highlights the importance of family ties in the biblical narrative, as seen in Genesis 29:1-14 where Laban and Jacob's family relationship is discussed.

What is the significance of Amram living 137 years?

The length of Amram's life, as recorded in Exodus 6:20, is a testament to God's blessing and provision, much like the long lives of other biblical figures such as Abraham, who lived to be 175 years old, as mentioned in Genesis 25:7.

Who was Jochebed and what role did she play in the biblical narrative?

Jochebed was Amram's wife and the mother of Aaron and Moses, and her faith and courage are highlighted in Hebrews 11:23, where it is written that she hid Moses for three months after he was born, trusting in God's plan for his life.

What can we learn from the family relationships described in Exodus 6:20?

The family relationships described in Exodus 6:20, including Amram's marriage to his father's sister Jochebed, demonstrate the complex family dynamics present in the biblical narrative, and remind us of the importance of honoring our family ties, as commanded in Exodus 20:12 and Ephesians 6:1-3.

Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 6:20

Exodus 6:20 And Amram took him Jochebed his father’ s sister to wife; and she bare him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram [were] an hundred and thirty and seven years. Ver. 20. Jochebed his father’ s sister.] See Exodus 2:1.

Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 6:20

(20) Amram took him Jocheoed his father’s sister to wife.—Marriages with aunts and nieces were not unlawful before the giving of the Law. They were common throughout the East, and at Sparta (Herod. vi. 71, 7:239). The years of the life of Amram.—The long lives of Levi, Kohath, and Amram, the father of Moses, are not recorded for any chronological purpose, but to show that the blessing of God rested in an especial way on the house of Levi, even before it became the priestly tribe. Life in Egypt at the time not unfrequently reached 120 years; but the 137 of Levi, the 133 of Kohath, and the 137 of Amram, the father of Moses, would, even in Egypt, have been abnormal.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Exodus 6:20

Verse 20. His father's sister] דדתו dodatho. The true meaning of this word is uncertain. Parkhurst observes that דוד dod signifies an uncle in 1 Samuel 10:14; Leviticus 10:4, and frequently elsewhere. It signifies also an uncle's son, a cousin-german: compare Jeremiah 32:8 with Exodus 6:12, where the Vulgate renders דדי dodi by patruelis mei, my paternal cousin; and in Amos 6:10, for דודו dodo, the Targum has קריביה karibiah, his near relation. So the Vulgate, propinquus ejus, his relative, and the Septuagint, οιοικειοιαυτων, those of their household. The best critics suppose that Jochebed was the cousin-german of Amram, and not his aunt. See Clarke on Exodus 2:1. Bare him Aaron and Moses] The Samaritan, Septuagint, Syriac, and one Hebrew MS. add, And Miriam their sister. Some of the best critics suppose these words to have been originally in the Hebrew text.

Cambridge Bible on Exodus 6:20

14–27. Genealogies are frequent in P (Genesis 5, 11, Genesis 25:12-16, Genesis 46:8-27, &c.); and here, at his first mention of Moses and Aaron, he is careful to define their position among the descendants of Jacob: they belonged to the tribe of Levi, which claimed descent from Jacob’s third son, Levi, and the particulars about the descendants of the two elder sons, Reuben and Simeon (vv. 14b–15), are introduced merely for the purpose of leading up to Levi, about which tribe more circumstantial particulars are given (vv. 16–25). The particulars in vv. 14, 15, 16a are identical with those given in the list of Jacob’s descendants who came down into Egypt, Genesis 46:9-11.

Barnes' Notes on Exodus 6:20

Amram - This can scarcely be the same person who is mentioned in Exodus 6:18; but his descendant and representative in the generation immediately preceding that of Moses.
