Chasidut zu Schemot 2:1

וַיֵּ֥לֶךְ אִ֖ישׁ מִבֵּ֣ית לֵוִ֑י וַיִּקַּ֖ח אֶת־בַּת־לֵוִֽי׃

Da ging ein Mann aus dem Stamm Levi und nahm eine Tochter Levi’s.

Kedushat Levi

Exodus 2,1. “a man from the house of Levi went and ‎married Levi’s daughter.” The deeper meaning of this ‎verse is that from now on souls belonging to the family of Levi ‎would be placed in children sired by Amram, who up to now had ‎only sired Aaron, whose soul was from a family destined to ‎produce priests. [I trust that I understood the meaning of ‎our author correctly. Ed.] When Yocheved, at the time ‎Moses was born said that she saw that the child “was good,” ‎‎(Exodus 2,2) Moses‘ name (though given by Pharaoh’s daughter, ‎כי מן המים משיתהו‎, “for I have drawn him from the water,” also ‎alludes to this concept. The author refers to having elaborated on ‎this in his commentary on psalms 132,9. [He does not say ‎in what context he commented on that. Ed.]
