Miriam's Song
As Moses and the children of Israel watched the destruction of Pharaoh's army in the Red Sea and saw the full power of God, their protector, their hearts were stirred to the deepest, and they raised a great song of praise and triumph. And while Moses and the men of Israel chanted, the women took up the refrain and echoed it, dancing forth from the encampment in the exuberance of their joy. It was Israel's extremest moment of light-hearted confidence.
Probably the Miriam who enters the bible story as the leader of the women was Moses's sister, who had so spiritedly aided in preserving Moses as a babe. Some others, however, have translated this passage as referring to a different woman, the "wife" of Aaron. And thus artists have usually painted Miriam in her dance as the youthful embodiment of religious joy.
