ExplanationCommentary
Verse 59. Levi. Septuagint “who bore these (Lobni, and so forth) to Levi, in Egypt; and she bore to Amram, Aaron,” and so forth as if Jochabed had been wife both of Levi and of Amram, which is very improbable. It is more likely that the wives of these two bore the same name. The Hebrew may agree very well with the Vulg. See Exodus 2:1. Calmet.—It was afterwards forbidden for a person to marry his aunt. Leviticus 18. Worthington.
