Miriam


A singer, a player of the tambourine, and a prophetess.

Miriam's song

The LORD threw Pharaoh's chariots under the Red Sea, and Miriam led the women of Israel in song.

Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambourines and dancing. And Miriam sang to them: “Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; / the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.”

(Exodus 15:20-21)
