Don't we also have an old-age issue re: Yocheved (bas Levi)? If she
was born "between the gates" then she was 130 (?) when Moshe was
born. I vaguely recall that ibn Ezra (?) used that argument to prove
that she was not born between the gates. But if she was born
significantly after that, then (naive question) how old was Levi when
Yocheved was born?
In short, I guess I'm asking: how many years passed between the
births of Levi and Moshe?
