Calev son of Yefuneh was born in year 2410, as is proven from Yehoshua chapter 14 [Tze"dah]. Miriam was his wife, and from her Chur was born [Sheder HaKabbalah]. (And in Pirkei d'Rabbi Eliezer chapter 45 it says he also took Batya daughter of Pharaoh and called her Yehudis.) Yocheved, after the death of Amram, was taken by Elitzaphan son of Parnach, and Eldad and Medad were born [Pirkei d'Rabbi Eliezer and Rashi there].

However, according to Targum Yonatan, Parshat Beha'alotcha, she married him after Amram divorced her and before he took her back, and Moshe was born afterwards. And in Tanchuma and in the Midrash it implies that Eldad and Medad were not brothers.] Eldad is Eldad son of Kislon, and Medad is Kemuel son of Shiphtan. And they became hidden for ten days and were gathered [Bechaye, Beha'alotcha]. It is written in Bei"t that the city Hamat is so called because of hot springs - it is near Tiberias about half a tech.

There are buried Yocheved the mother of Moshe Rabbeinu, and Tzipporah his wife, and Elisheva daughter of Aminadav, and Miriam the prophetess.
