"recounts his finding, saying of the princess ""And straightway seeing me, she took me up"", which may be reflected both in the New Testament Acts 7:20, and in artistic depictions where the princess is apparently first to grasp the ark. The motif of the naked princess standing in the water, sometimes accompanied by naked maids, reappears in Jewish manuscript illuminations from Spanish workshops in the late Middle Ages, along with some other details of iconography found in the Dura-Europos Synagogue. In the 14th-century there are three, while Moses' sister Miriam sits on the bank watching them. Other works include the"
"Elisheba Elisheba, also spelled Elisheva (; ""’Ělîšeḇa‘""), was the wife of Aaron, the elder brother of Moses and the ancestor of the Jewish high priests, according to the Hebrew Bible. She is said to be a daughter of Amminadab, and a sister of Nahshon, from the Tribe of Judah (). The Hebrew name is composed of two parts. In Hebrew, ""El"" signifies ""God"" and ""Sheba"" means ""abundance"", so the name Eli-sheba can be translated as ""God is abundance"". In the New Testament, in first chapter of the Gospel according to Luke, a woman named Elisabet (Greek: Ἐλισάβετ) is said to"
"Miriam Miriam () is described in the Hebrew Bible as the daughter of Amram and Jochebed, and the sister of Moses and Aaron. She was a prophetess and first appears in the Book of Exodus. The Torah refers to her as ""Miriam the Prophetess"" and the Talmud names her as one of the seven major female prophets of Israel. Scripture describes her alongside of Moses and Aaron as delivering the Jews from exile in Egypt: ""For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery, and I sent before you Moses,"
"Puah Puah (etymology uncertain) is a name given to two persons in the Bible: The 11th century Jewish rabbi Rashi's Talmud commentary on the passage from Exodus identifies Shiphrah with Jochebed, the mother of Moses, and Puah with Miriam, Moses' sister, making the two midwives mother and daughter respectively. However, in Midrash Tadshe (on Exodus 1:15), it is assumed that Puah, as well as Shiphrah, was a proselyte, and that she was not identical with Miriam. Commentators have interpreted Exodus 1:20-21 in various ways. Some scholars argue that the two halves of each verse are parallel, so that it is"

"Aaron, and Miriam"". According to the Midrash, just as Moses led the men out of Egypt and taught them Torah, so too Miriam led the women and taught them Torah. Miriam was the daughter of Amram, the leader of the Israelites in ancient Egypt, and of Jochebed and the sister of Aaron and Moses. The narrative of Moses' infancy in the Torah describes an unnamed sister of Moses observing him being placed in the Nile (Ex 2:4); she is traditionally described as being Miriam. In the biblical narrative of the exodus, Miriam is described as a ""prophetess"" when she leads"

Moses pleads for the privacy to mourn his sister in peace, and reminds the people that they have other officials and elders to whom they can appeal, but the people are implacable and threaten to stone Moses immediately if he does not produce water.

The Quran also narrates that, centuries later, when the ""Tabut"" (, Ark of the Covenant) returned to Israel, it contained ""relics from the family of Moses and relics from the family of Aaron"" (Quran 2: 248). Muhammad, in many of his sayings, speaks of Aaron. In the event of the Mi'raj, his miraculous ascension through the Heavens, Muhammad is said to have encountered Aaron in the fifth heaven. According"

The Torah generally depicts the siblings, Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, as the leaders of Israel after the Exodus, a view also reflected in the biblical Book of Micah. Numbers 12, however, reports that on one occasion, Aaron and Miriam complained about Moses' exclusive claim to be the 's prophet. Their presumption was rebuffed by God who affirmed Moses' uniqueness as the one with whom the spoke face to face. Miriam was punished with"

Spelling variants include French ""Myriam"", German ""Mirjam, Mirijam""; hypocoristic forms include Mira, Miri and Mimi (commonly given in Israel). The name's etymology is unclear.
