Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, whom her mother bare to Levi in Egypt. Rather, "whom she ( אֹתָהּ) bare." The missing subject is usually supplied, as in the A.V and there certainly seems no more difficulty in doing so here than in 1 Kings 1:6.
Some critics take "Atha" as a proper name—"whom Atha bare;" others render "who was born;" this, however, like the Septuagint, ἣ ἔτεκε τούτους τῷ λευὶ, requires a change of reading. Perhaps the text is imperfect.
The statement here made, whatever difficulties it creates, is in entire agreement with Exodus 6:20; 1 Chronicles 23:6, 1 Chronicles 23:12, 1 Chronicles 23:13, and other passages. If two Amrams, the later of whom lived some 200 years after the earlier, have been confused (as we seem driven to believe), the confusion is consistently maintained through all the extant records (see the note on 1 Chronicles 3:1-24:28).
