Miriam (rebellion), the sister of Moses, was the eldest of that sacred family; and she first appears, probably as a young girl, watching her infant brother's cradle in the Nile, Ex 2:4 and suggesting her mother as a nurse. ver. 7. After the crossing of the Red Sea "Miriam the prophetess" is her acknowledged title. ch. Ex 15:20 The prophetic power showed itself in her under the same form as that which it assumed in the days of Samuel and David, --poetry, accompanied with music and processions. ch. Ex 15:1-19 She took the lead, with Aaron, in the complaint against Moses for his marriage with a Cushite, Nu 12:1,2 and for this was attacked with leprosy. This stroke and its removal, which took place at Hazeroth, form the last public event of Miriam's life. ch. Nu 12:1-15 She died toward the close of the wanderings at Kadesh, and was buried there. ch. Nu 20:1 (B.C. about 1452.) |
