The Torah mentions Amram, grandson of Levi, who marries Yokheved. Together they have a son, Moses. The Sages relate that in fact this was their second time married to each other, as Amram divorced Yokheved due to the Egyptian decree mandating that all the Israelites’ male newborns be thrown into the Nile. They remarried at the advice of their daughter, Miriam.

[The verse states with regard to Amram:] “A man from the house of Levi went and he took a daughter of Levi” (Exodus 2:1). Where did he go? Rav Yehuda bar Zevina said: He followed the advice of his daughter. The Sages taught: Amram was the spiritual leader of his generation. When Pharaoh decreed: “Every son who is born, into the Nile you shall cast him” (1:22), Amram said: We are toiling in raising children for naught. He arose and divorced his wife. All the Israelites arose and divorced their wives. His daughter Miriam said to him: Father, your decree is more extreme than Pharaoh’s. Pharaoh decreed death only on the males, but you decreed death on the males and on the females by encouraging the Israelites to stop procreating. Pharaoh decreed death only in this world [as even if the sons are killed they will enter the World to Come], and you decreed death in this world and in the World to Come. Concerning Pharaoh the wicked, there is uncertainty whether his decree will be fulfilled or not [as some sons might survive]; but you are righteous – certainly your decree will be fulfilled…Therefore, Amram arose and remarried his wife; likewise, all the Israelites arose and remarried their wives. Miriam was prophesying when she was only Aaron’s sister, before Moses was born, saying: My mother is destined to bear a child who will redeem Israel. Once Moses was born, the entire house was filled with light. His father Amram stood and kissed Miriam on her head. He said: My daughter, your prophecy has been fulfilled. When they cast Moses into the Nile so that he would not be discovered by the Egyptians, her father stood and tapped her on her head. He said to her: My daughter, where is your prophecy? And that is the meaning of what is written: “His sister stationed herself at a distance, to know what would be done to him” (2:4). Miriam stood there to know what would be at the culmination of her prophecy. (Sota 13a)
