Kedushat Levi
Exodus 18,12. “Aaron and all the elders of Israel joined in breaking bread with Yitro, etc.” At this point G’d’ rewarded Yitro for inviting Moses into his house (Exodus 2,2) and offering him a meal. He was doubly rewarded as he enjoyed eating a meal in the presence of G’d, לפני האלוקים, (verse 13)

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.]
