“Moses' Sister”

Who is Miriam?

Sincerely,
Namesake

Dear Namesake,

Miriam was Moses’ sister (Num 26:59).  When the children of Israel fled Egypt and wandered in the wilderness, she was a prominent figure – right alongside Moses and Aaron (Mic 6:4).  Miriam was a prophetess (Ex 15:20), and she was also known for getting in trouble when she became jealous and spoke out against Moses (Num 12:1-2).
