Verse 20. His father's sister] dodatho. The true meaning of this word is uncertain. Parkhurst observes that dod signifies an uncle in 1Sa 10:14; Le 10:4, and frequently elsewhere. It signifies also an uncle's son, a cousin-german: compare Jer 32:8 with Ex 6:12, where the Vulgate renders dodi by patruelis mei, my paternal cousin; and in Am 6:10, for dodo, the Targum has karibiah, his near relation. So the Vulgate, propinquus ejus, his relative, and the Septuagint, οιοικειοιαυτων, those of their household. The best critics suppose that Jochebed was the cousin-german of Amram, and not his aunt. See Clarke on Ex 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.
