“These are the families of the Levites: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, the family of the Korathites. And Kohath begat Amram.”
And the name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, whom her mother bare to Levi in Egypt: and she bare to Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister — The genealogical notation explicitly traces Moses and Aaron's parentage through Amram and Jochebed. The mention that Jochebed was a 'daughter of Levi' indicates she was a direct descendant of Levi himself, making the priestly line intensely pure. The inclusion of Miriam (the prophetess) acknowledges her role in the Exodus narrative.
