Jochebed was the mother of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. To save her baby from Pharaoh's decree, she hid him and then placed him in a basket on the Nile, entrusting him to God — who brought him back to her to nurse.
Rare and rich in meaning, Jochebed honours a mother's courageous faith; her name means the LORD is glory.
