Who were Moses' parents?

This question tests Moses' parental lineage in the Bible. Moses is described as the son of Amram and Jochebed, who were both Levites. In Exodus, it states that Amram married Jochebed and she bore him Aaron and Moses, with Miriam noted as their sister. This establishes Amram and Jochebed as Moses’ parents and places him in the Levitical line. The other names belong to different figures: Aaron’s wife Elisheba is not Moses’ mother; Levi is a patriarch from Jacob’s sons, not a parent of Moses; Bilhah is another figure from a different part of the family story; and Korah, while a Levite, is not Moses’ parent and Miriam is Moses’ sister, not his mother.
