Miriam (Moses' sister living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness)

Scripture names two women Miriam. The one nearly everyone means is Moses and Aaron's older sister, a prophetess herself, who watched over the infant Moses in the Nile reeds and later led Israel's women in song after the crossing of the sea. A second, much more obscure Miriam turns up once in a genealogy of Judah, a daughter of Mered and Bithiah with no story attached to her at all.
