Miriam the Prophetess Leads a Joyful Song of Celebration
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this 19th-century print, we witness Miriam, the prophetess and sister of Moses, leading a jubilant song of celebration with a group of women. The scene depicts their triumphant crossing of the Sea of Reeds (Red Sea) after escaping from Egypt. At the center of attention stands Miriam herself, holding a 'timbrel' or tambourine in her hands. With radiant joy on her face and an air of confidence, she leads the women in harmonious melodies that resonate with gratitude and triumph. Their voices rise together as they express their gratitude for deliverance from slavery and praise for their miraculous liberation. One woman among them skillfully plays a double aulos, an ancient musical instrument consisting of two pipes played simultaneously. Its enchanting sound adds depth to the melodic chorus filling the air. This powerful biblical moment captured by Bridgeman Images showcases not only Miriam's leadership but also highlights the strength and resilience displayed by these women during challenging times. It serves as an inspiration for all who encounter it—a reminder that even in moments when hope seems lost, faith can lead us to victory. The intricate engravings bring to life this significant event from Exodus Chapter XV—parting waters, freedom regained—and transport us back to antiquity where music was used as both expression and worship. This print is not just a visual representation; it is an invitation to immerse oneself in history and experience firsthand the power behind Miriam's prophetic voice. Through this artwork found within Cassell's Illustrated Family Bible collection, we are reminded once again how literature intertwines with religious beliefs while celebrating cultural heritage—an enduring testament to human creativity across time.
