Miriam

Miriam was Moses' and Aaron's sister. Together they lead their people to the promised land. After the passage throught the Reed Sea, Miriam sang a song of victory. According to Exodus she used a timbrel (tambourine), but Burne-Jones shows her with cymbals.

When she addressed her brother Moses about his marriage to an Ethiopian woman, God struck her with tzaraath (a disease commonly translated as leprosy).

This is a window in St. Michael and All Angels Church, Waterford, Hertfordshire, England. It was designed by Burne-Jones and executed by Morris Marshall Faulkner and Co.

The Latin text "Maria soror Aaron" means "Miriam, sister of Aaron".
