📜 Complete Scriptural Narrative

Standing watch by the reeds of the Nile as a young girl to bring Moses' own mother to Pharaoh's daughter as a nurse (Exodus 2:4–8), Miriam grew into 'Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron,' who took a tambourine in her hand after the Red Sea crossing and led all the women in singing, 'Sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously' (Exodus 15:20–21; Micah 6:4).
