=== Life Sketch ===
Miriam, the daughter of Amram and Yocheved, and older sister of her two famous brothers, Aaron and Moses, was born in Egypt just when the Jewish people were reduced to slavery, oppression and hard labor. This was in the year 2362 (after Creation), eighty-six years before the liberation. She was born four years before Aaron and seven years before Moses. Having been born at the time when the bitter enslavement began, her parents named her “Miriam” (from the Hebrew word meaning “bitterness”).
Her father, Amram, was the grandson of Levi, the son of our patriarch Jacob. He was the leader and head of the Jewish people.
Miriam was a prophetess, as the Torah states clearly.1 Our sages tell us that the spirit of prophecy came to her when she was still a child. Her earliest prophecy was that her mother was going to give birth to a son who would free the Jewish people from Egyptian bondage. This is one of the reasons why she was also called Puah, meaning “Whisperer,” for she was whispering words of prophecy.2 At that time she and her mother were the chief Hebrew midwives, who went by the names of Shifrah and Puah. King Pharaoh instructed them to kill, at birth, any baby boy born to a Jewish mother. But they did not carry out the king’s cruel order; on the contrary, they helped save them.3 Needless to say, the G d-fearing mother and daughter risked their lives in doing what they did, and they were to be rewarded with the two most distinguished “houses” (dynasties) of the Jewish people: that of kehunah (priesthood), bestowed upon Yocheved’s son Aaron; and that of royalty, bestowed upon David, who was a descendant of Miriam. Miriam was only five years old when she became her mother’s helper in delivering Jewish babies, but she was already quite competent.
When the cruel Pharaoh gave the order that all Jewish baby boys should be thrown into the river, her parents decided to separate and have no more children, for they already had a daughter and son. Then the six-year old Miriam said to her father, “Your decree is worse than Pharaoh’s, for Pharaoh aimed at boys only, while you would prevent both boys and girls from being born.” Being the leader of the Jewish people, Amram had set an example which other Jews were quick to follow, and they too divorced their wives. Amram saw the wisdom of his young daughter, and he remarried his wife, whereupon all others also remarried their wives. The following year Moses was born.
To escape the king’s officers, who went around searching for Jewish baby boys to snatch them away and throw them into the Nile, Yocheved hid little Moses for three months, but then could not hide him any longer. She placed her wonderful little boy in a basket, which she placed among the reeds at the river’s bank. Miriam was certain that her little brother would be saved somehow, and she placed herself at some distance to see what would become of her prophecy. Then something extraordinary happened. Pharaoh’s daughter, stricken with a rash (a kind of leprosy) that day, went to bathe in the river, hoping the water would clear up her leprosy. She saw the basket among the reeds, took it and opened it. She realized that it must be a Jewish boy, and she was overjoyed when she discovered that her leprosy disappeared the moment she touched the basket. Disregarding her father’s order, she decided to save the baby and adopt him as her own. At that moment Miriam approached the princess and boldly offered to bring a Jewish nursing mother to nurse the baby. The princess readily agreed, and Miriam went and called her mother. The princess left the baby in her care, but ordered her to return him when he was weaned. Thus Moses was saved, and in due course—eighty years later—he led the Jewish people to freedom, just as Miriam had prophesied. Miriam not only lived to see her prophecy fulfilled, but together with her two brothers she was one of the three devoted shepherds of the people throughout their forty years’ wandering in the desert on the way to the Promised Land.
Miriam, Aaron and Moses died within twelve months. Miriam died on the 10th of Nissan in the year 2487—a year to the day before the Jewish people crossed the Jordan into the Promised Land, under the leadership of Joshua. Aaron died on Rosh Chodesh Av, and Moses died on the 7th of Adar 2488.
Miriam’s son was Hur, a leading nobleman of the tribe of Judah. Together with Aaron, Hur was appointed to the leadership of the people, while Moses went up Mount Sinai for forty days to receive the Torah and bring down G d’s tablets. Hur was murdered by the worshippers of the Golden Calf when he opposed them and tried to prevent them from committing that grievous sin. Hur was the grandfather of Betzalel, the chief architect of the Sanctuary (Mishkan).
Wife of f Hur; Samuel ; Nahshon ben Aminadav and Caleb . All died in wars.
Miriam was the daughter of Amram and Jochebed; she was the sister of Aaron and Moses, the leader of the Israelites in ancient Egypt.
The narrative of Moses' infancy in the Torah describes an unnamed sister of Moses observing him being placed in the Nile (Exodus 2:4); she is traditionally identified as Miriam.:71
In the biblical narrative of The Exodus, Miriam is described as a "prophetess" when she leads the Israelites in the Song of the Sea after Pharaoh's army is destroyed at the Sea of Reeds.:71
The Torah describes Miriam and Aaron as being rebuked by God for criticizing Moses on account of his "Cushite" wife, after which Miriam is punished for a week with tzara’at ("leprosy", Numbers 12).:79
Regarding the death of Miriam, the Torah states, "The entire congregation of the children of Israel arrived at the desert of Tzin in the first month, and the people settled in Kadesh. Miriam died and was buried there.

1. "Moses, Aaron, and Joshua" by Dr. Norman Heaps. When Miriam was about five years old, she prophesied saying: "Behold a son will be born unto us from my father and my mother, this time he will save Israel from the hands of Egypt." The spirit of God came uon Miriam one night, according to Philo, and she dreamed: "I have seen this night, and behold, a man in a linen garment stood and said to me, Go and say to your parents "Behold, he who will be born from you will be cast into the water, and likewise through him the water will be dried up. and I will work signs through him and save my people, and he will exercise leadership always."
