Charles Ellicott Commentary Numbers 26:59

"And the name of Amram`s wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt: and she bare unto Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister." — Numbers 26:59 (ASV)

Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, whom her mother bore to Levi ... — Or, who was born to Levi, etc. There is a similar omission of the subject of the verb in 1 Kings 1:6. Some writers have supposed that Jochebed was the granddaughter, or possibly even some more remote descendant of Levi, and that Amram, the father of Moses, was not the same as Amram, the son of Kohath. (See Keil, “On the Pentateuch,” i. 469-471; but for a defence of the view which has been more commonly adopted, see Birks’ “Exodus of Israel,” pp. 153-199.)
