Miriam (Hebrew: מִרְיָםMīryām, lit. 'Rebellion')[1][2] is described in the Hebrew Bible as the daughter of Amram and Jochebed, and the older sister of Moses and Aaron. She was a prophetess and first appears in the Book of Exodus.
The Torah refers to her as "Miriam the Prophetess"[3] and the Talmud[4] names her as one of the seven major female prophets of Israel. Scripture describes her alongside of Moses and Aaron as delivering the Jews from exile in Egypt: "For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery, and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam".[5] According to the Midrash,[6] just as Moses led the men out of Egypt and taught them Torah, so too Miriam led the women and taught them Torah.
