 The Skeptical Review Online - How Long Were The Children of Israel In Egypt? - Author Farrell Till

These are the families of the Levites according to their genealogies.20 Amram married Jochebed his father's sister and she bore him Aaron and Moses, and the length of Amram's life was one hundred thirty-seven years.
This argument, which flies right in the face of the "face-value language of the text, claims that Amram's wife Jochebed could have borne Moses and Aaron only in the sense that she was an ancestor of Aaron and Moses, which, of course, would have made Amram only their ancestor and not their immediate father.
Let's notice again that verse 20 says, "And Amram took him Jochebed his FATHER'S SISTER to wife, and she bore him Aaron and Moses," so certainly the "face-value" meaning of the text gives us every reason to conclude that a man named Amram was the literal father of Aaron.
