Yokheved

Yokheved is a figure in the book of Exodus and the mother of Aaron, Miriam, and Moses. Fearing Pharaoh’s decree to throw all Israelite baby boys into the river, she hides her infant son, Moses. When that is no longer feasible, she places him in a basket on the Nile river, where he would be found by a maidservant to Pharaoh's daughter.
