Exodus 6:20

His father' s sister - dodatho . The true meaning of this word is uncertain. Parkhurst observes that dod signifies an uncle in I Samuel 10:14; Leviticus 10:4, and frequently elsewhere. It signifies also an uncle' s son, a cousin-german: compare Jeremiah 32:8 with Exodus 6:12, where the Vulgate renders dodi by patruelis mei , my paternal cousin; and in Amos 6:10, for dodo , the Targum has karibiah , his near relation. So the Vulgate, propinquus ejus , his relative, and the Septuagint, ̔ , those of their household. The best critics suppose that Jochebed was the cousin-german of Amram, and not his aunt. See Clarke' s note on Exodus 2:1.

Bare him Aaron and Moses - The Samaritan, Septuagint, Syriac, and one Hebrew MS. add, And Miriam their sister. Some of the best critics suppose these words to have been originally in the Hebrew text.
