Strong's Lexicon Miryam: Miriam Original Word: מִרְיָם Part of Speech: Proper Name Feminine Transliteration: Miryam Pronunciation: meer-YAHM Phonetic Spelling: (meer-yawm') Definition: Mirjam Meaning: The name Miriam is traditionally understood to mean "rebellion" or "bitterness." It is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Word Origin: Derived from the root מָרָה (marah), meaning "to be rebellious" or "to be bitter." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry for Miriam is G3137, Μαριάμ (Mariam), which is used in the New Testament to refer to Mary, the mother of Jesus, and other women named Mary. This reflects the continuity of the name's usage across the Hebrew and Greek scriptures. Usage: The name Miriam is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the sister of Moses and Aaron, a prophetess and leader among the Israelites during the Exodus. Context: Miriam is a prominent figure in the Hebrew Bible, known as the sister of Moses and Aaron. She is first mentioned in the Book of Exodus, where she plays a crucial role in the survival of her brother Moses as an infant. According to Exodus 2:4-8, Miriam watches over Moses when he is placed in a basket on the Nile River and later suggests her mother as a nurse to Pharaoh's daughter. Miriam is recognized as a prophetess in Exodus 15:20, where she leads the women of Israel in song and dance after the crossing of the Red Sea, celebrating the deliverance from Egyptian bondage. This event is often referred to as the "Song of Miriam." In Numbers 12, Miriam, along with Aaron, challenges Moses' authority, questioning his unique relationship with God. As a result, Miriam is struck with leprosy but is healed after Moses intercedes on her behalf. This incident underscores her significant, yet subordinate, role in the leadership of Israel. Miriam's death is recorded in Numbers 20:1, where she dies and is buried at Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin. Her life and actions are commemorated in later Jewish tradition as an example of leadership and faith, despite her moment of rebellion.
