AARON AND MIRIAM
AARON AND MIRIAM
Aaron was three years older than Moses. Miriam was much
older than both her brothers. Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when
he died yet his eyes were not dim nor his natural strength abated (Deuteronomy
34:7). Aaron was one hundred and twenty-three years old when he died after
climbing to the top of Mount Hor (Numbers 33:39). Miriam topped her brothers.
After the children of Israel had left Egypt, Miriam would have been in her mid
nineties but was still able to sing and dance. ‘Miriam the prophetess, the
sister of Aaron and Moses took a tambourine in her hand and all the women went
out after her with tambourines and with dances. Miriam sang, "Sing to the
Lord, for He has triumphed gloriously, the horse and his rider He has thrown
into the sea’" (Exodus 15:20 & 21). They were in the wilderness for
forty years so Miriam would have been about one hundred and thirty-five when
she died.
