Yes, Jochebed was the mother of Moses. She is mentioned in The Bible as having saved Moses by placing him in a basket on the Nile River to protect him from Pharaoh's decree to kill all Hebrew male babies.

according to Torah and judiasm she is the daughter of Levi [Jacobs son] and Dinah [Leah's daughter]. gen. 46:15, exod. 2:1-as wife is italicized, not in original text. Jacob had Levi, Leah had dinah, Levi & dinah had yochebed; yochebed & amran [ex. 6:2] had moses.
