Exodus chapter 2 begins: As the ancient story unfolds, we learn that the son she bore was Moses – thus making Moses a firstborn; that, at least, is the obvious reading of the above passage.

Oct 25, 2023 · Who was Miriam the prophetess in the Bible? It sounds like a simple question with a simple answer—Miriam was Moses’s sister. But as is often the case with anything having to do with the Hebrew Bible, the question is much more complex than it first appears.
