Miriam - Her Legacy In Scripture

Miriam - Her Legacy In Scripture

Read Exodus 15:19 – 21.

1. Describe what you think Miriam and the other women of Israel were thinking and feeling as they walked through the Red Sea. Why did they dance?

2. Have you ever been that joyful? If so, when? How did you express your joy? If not, why do you suppose that’s the case?

Read Numbers 12:1 – 15.

3. Why do you think Miriam and Aaron attacked Moses? What other issues did they have besides his Cushite (non-Hebrew) wife?

4. What do you think Miriam was thinking and feeling when she was outside the camp for those seven days? What would go through your mind in that situation?

5. Even when we are forgiven, we sometimes have to pay a price for our sin. What sin have you had to pay a penalty for? How do you feel about that situation now: Forgiven? Still guilty? Angry?
