In this episode of the Alabaster Jar, Dr. Lynn Cohick and Dr. Carmen Imes discuss Miriam's role as a worship leader, drummer, and moral guide in the Exodus story. They highlight her agency and affirmation of God's actions while acknowledging the cultural context of women's drumming and dancing in ancient times. They also offer a nuanced understanding of Miriam's leadership and moral responsibility in the Hebrew Bible. 

Key Takeaways: 
  • Miriam was a drummer, not a tambourine player, as often depicted in art.
  • Miriam played a crucial prophetic role, leading the Israelites in worship after crossing the Red Sea.
  • There are parallel rescue stories in Exodus - Moses' rescue as a baby and the Israelites' rescue from Egypt - with Miriam playing a vital role in both.
  • Miriam is recognized alongside Moses and Aaron as a leader of Israel during the Exodus, as mentioned in Micah 6:4.
  • God treats Miriam as a moral agent with responsibility, as seen in her punishment for challenging Moses' authority.
  • Studying lesser-known biblical figures like Miriam can provide deeper insights into Scripture and Israel's history.
