Help[Facts] Jochebed pronunciation?
How do you pronounce Jochebed? I've sort of been saying it like "Joss-ah-bed," but I get the feeling that's pretty far off...

I've heard it as JOCK-uh-bed. "Ch" in Bible names is usually pronounced /k/ in English.

The Hebrew pronunciation is yo-KHEH-vehd.
In English I don't know how to pronounce the name, I wouldn't want to pronounce it at all.

Yes, I have always actually heard it pronounced yo-KHEH-ved as you described, but then again, it was always in Theological Studies courses when discussing the mother of Mosees; I have no insight as to any other pronunciatons.
