Strong's Lexicon Miryam: Miriam Original Word: מִרְיָם Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root מרר (marar), meaning "to be bitter" or "to be strong." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3137 (Μαριάμ, Mariam): The Greek equivalent of Miriam, used in the New Testament to refer to Mary, the mother of Jesus, and other women named Mary. Usage: The name Miriam is traditionally understood to mean "bitter" or "rebellious," though some suggest it could also mean "beloved" or "wished-for child." In the Bible, Miriam is a significant female figure, known primarily as the sister of Moses and Aaron. She is recognized for her leadership role among the Israelites, particularly during the Exodus. Cultural and Historical Background: Miriam is one of the few women in the Bible who is explicitly called a prophetess (Exodus 15:20). She played a crucial role in the early life of Moses, watching over him as he floated in a basket on the Nile and later suggesting her mother as a nurse to Pharaoh's daughter. Miriam's leadership is further highlighted in the Song of the Sea (Exodus 15:20-21), where she leads the women of Israel in worship after the crossing of the Red Sea. Her account reflects the significant, though often understated, roles women played in biblical narratives.
