Gershon - Family Tree

Family Tree

Jochebed's position in the family tree of Gershon is uncertain. Some manuscripts of the Septuagint version of the Torah state that Jochebed was Kohath's cousin, but the Masoretic Text states that she was Kohath's sister—Amram's aunt—although Jochebed's relationship to Levi is not explicitly stated.

Thus, according to the Septuagint, Gershon's family tree would be as follows:

Levi (unnamed) (unnamed)
Gershon Kohath Merari Jochebed
Amram Izhar Hebron Uzziel
Miriam Aaron Moses

while according to the masoretic text, Gershon's family tree would be as follows:

Levi (unnamed)
Gershon Kohath Merari Jochebed
Libni Shimei Amram Izhar Hebron Uzziel
Miriam Aaron Moses
