Moses' big sister — prophet, worship leader, and the girl who watched the basket
open_in_newAs a child, she watched over baby Moses in the basket on the Nile and cleverly arranged for their mother to nurse him (Exodus 2:4-8). After the Red Sea crossing, she led the women in worship with tambourines (Exodus 15:20-21). She's called a prophetess. Her low point: challenging Moses' authority alongside Aaron, for which God struck her with leprosy temporarily (Numbers 12). But she's remembered as one of Israel's three leaders.

Exodus 15:19-21Miriam steps into the spotlight here as the prophet and worship leader who picks up the song after Moses, grabbing a tambourine and leading all the women in dancing — the culmination of a story that began when she watched her baby brother in a basket.
A Mother Who Wouldn't Let Go
Exodus 2:1-10Miriam is stationed at the riverbank watching her baby brother's basket float among the reeds — her quick thinking in approaching Pharaoh's daughter sets up the family's miraculous reunion.
