Miriam HaNeviah
1399 BCE–1273 BCE · Biblical · Mount Sinai (Wilderness)
Miriam bat Amram was the sister of Moses and Aaron, and a prophetess of Israel during the Exodus from Egypt. According to rabbinic tradition, she played a crucial role in the deliverance of her brother Moses: when Pharaoh decreed the death of Hebrew male infants, Miriam watched over the basket in which her mother placed the infant Moses in the Nile, until Pharaoh's daughter discovered and rescued him. At the Red Sea, Miriam led the women of Israel in song and dance, celebrating their miraculous salvation. The Talmud credits her with prophecy and wisdom, and the well of water that sustained Israel in the wilderness was said by the Sages to have been granted on her merit. She died at Kadesh and was mourned by all Israel.
