Miriam Rozella

Miriam (Hebrew: מִרְיָם, Modern Miryam, Tiberian Miryām ; Arabic: مريم (Maryam); see Miriam (given name) was the elder sister of Moses by seven years and Aaron by four years, and the only daughter of Amram and Jochebed. She was the sister of a prophet and first appears in the Book of Exodus in the Hebrew Bible.

Biblical account

In Exodus 2, at her mother Yocheved's request, Moses's sister hid her baby brother Moses by the side of a river to evade the Pharaoh's order that newborn Hebrew boys be killed. She watched as the Pharaoh's daughter discovered the infant and decided to adopt him. Moses's sister then suggested that the princess take on a nurse for the child, and suggested Yocheved; as a result, Moses was raised to be familiar with his background as a Hebrew. (Exodus 2:1-10) It is worth noting that Miriam is not explicitly named in the Exodus 2 accounts of Moses's early life. The connection of the Miriam of later texts to the Exodus 2 account stems from interpretation traditions and not from the text itself.
