Here I am Send me Isaiah 6:8 part sixteen NIV
The song and dance of Miriam and the women
Exodus 15:19
When Pharaoh's horses, chariots and horsemen went into the sea (Red Sea),
the LORD brought back the waters of the sea back over them, but the Israelists
walked through the sea on dry ground. Than Miriam, the prophetess, Aaron's
sister, took a tambourine in her hand. and all of the women followed her with
tambourines and dancing.
Miriam sang to them: "Sing to the LORD, for he is mighty exalted. The horse
and his rider he has hurled into the sea."
The Waters of Marah and Elim Exodus 15:22- 27
Then Moses lead Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the desert of
Shur. For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water. When
they came to Marah, they could not drink because the water was bitter. (That
is why the place is called Marah.) So the people grumbled against Moses,
saying,"What are we to drink?"
The Moses cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a piece of
wood. He threw it into the water, and the water became sweet, Then the
LORD made a decree and a law for them, and there he tested them. He
said,"If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what
is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all of his
decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought upon the
Egyptians, for I am the LORD who heals you."
Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs and seventy
palm trees.
The LORD addresses Israel Micah 6:3-4
My people, what have I done to you?
How have I burdened you?
Answer me.
I brought you up out of Egypt and redeemed you
from the land of slavery. I sent Moses to lead you
and also Aaron and Miriam.
Commentary
All throughout this latest of mini-series, I have sometimes used
headings of my own and not the Bible's. Case in point: the proper
heading for Exodus 15:19 was directly under: The Song of Moses
and Miriam.
But I only included Miriam and the women and not Moses.
Hence my own shortened title because the original one
wasn't appropriate because it excluded Moses. I didn't need
the entire song only the part concerning Pharaoh, and his
escorts being covered by the Red Sea, but not Israel!
Also in Micah 6:3-4 the Biblical heading was God's case
against Israel. But I only included verses three and four
because it mentioned: Moses, Aaron and Miriam; it fitted
this particular story line and mini-series.
