Who is Miriam of Nazareth and what did she do?

Answer 1

Miriam was the sister of Moses and Aaron, and the daughter of Amram and his wife Jochebed, both of the tribe of Levi. (Numbers 26:59; 1Chronicles 6:1-3) When Pharoah's daughter took Moses out of the Nile, and adopted him, Miriam was the one who suggested 'finding' a Hebrew woman to nurse the child for her. Pharoah's daughter agreed and '"the maiden went and called the child's mother" (Jochebed), who then cared for Moses until he grew up.-Exodus 2:5-10.

Later, after the exodus from Egypt, in the wilderness, Miriam was considered a prophetess(Exodus 15:20&21), and so a woman of prominence, who set an example for God's people. Because of this, she was severely disciplined when she jealously spoke out against Moses, God's hand-picked servant, and was stricken with leprosy for her disloyalty and rebellion. (Numbers 12:1-15)(Deuteronomy 24:8, 9).

Answer 2

She was the one and only woman on earth chosen by God to be the vessel pure enough and obedient enough to bare and nurture the person of God manifest...the mother of the person who was God Himself and Messiah
