Amram, a descendant of Kohath, son of Levi, had espoused Jochebed, who was also of the tribe of Levi; and they had already two children, a daughter called Miriam (the same name as the Mary of the New Testament), and a son named Aaron. Another son was born soon after the king's edict. With maternal fondness, increased by the boy's beauty, and in faith (as it seems) on a prophetic intimation of his destiny, his mother hid him for three months (Book of Exodus, 2, vs 1-2 and Letter to the Hebrews, 11, vs. 23). When concealment was no longer possible, Jochebed prepared a covered basket of papyrus [apparently the bulrushes as translated in many Bibles] daubed with bitumen [clay and tar] to make it watertight, and placed it among the rushes on the banks of the Nile, or one of the canals. (cited from Old Testament History, by William Smith, LLD, revised by Wilbur Fields, College Press, Joplin, Missouri, 1983)
The name of the mother of Moses is not given in The Bible, but reference to the name Jochebed is given in the Jewish Knowledge Base Chabad.org.
