Miriam 

Text:  their rebellion. 

(1.) The sister of Moses and Aaron (Ex. 2:4-10; 1 Chr, 6:3). Her name 
is prominent in the history of the Exodus. She is called "the 
prophetess" (Ex. 15:20). She took the lead in the song of triumph 
after the passage of the Red Sea. She died at Kadesh during the second 
encampment at that place, toward the close of the wanderings in the 
wilderness, and was buried there (Num. 20:1). (See AARON; MOSES.) 

(2.) 1 Chr. 4:17, one of the descendants of Judah.
