What does Exodus 2:1 mean?

Moses' parents were both Levites, descendants of Levi the son of Jacob. Jacob was the son of Isaac the son of Abraham, the man God promised to bless with a people who would become a nation (Genesis 12:1–3).

Moses' parents are named in Exodus 6:20 as Amram and Jochebed. Moses was not their only child or oldest child, though this passage only focuses on Moses. Moses' older sister, Miriam (Exodus 15:20), stays nearby to make sure the baby is safe (Exodus 2:4). Exodus 4:14 introduces Moses' older brother, Aaron.
