Sing a Song

And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.-Exodus 15:20-21***Over 1,400 years before Anna the prophetess was born into the tribe of Asher, Amram, Jochebed, and their children Miriam, Aaron and Moses were born into the tribe of Levi. Levi was the 3rd son born to Jacob (Israel) and his 1st wife Leah. Asher was the 2nd son born to Jacob and Zilpah, Leah's maidservant. Zilpah's parentage is not revealed in the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible. Leah and her younger sister Rachel, Jacob's 2nd wife, were born to Laban the Syrian (Aramean). Jacob was the youngest fraternal twin son born to Isaac and Rebekah, Laban's sister. Rebekah and Laban were born to Bethuel. Isaac was the only child born to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai). Bethuel was born to Abraham and Sarah's brother Nahor. Nahor, Abraham and Sarah were born to Terah. Terah was the great-great-great-great-great-grandson of Arphaxad. Arphaxad was born to Shem. Shem was born to Noah the ark builder. Noah was the great-grandson of Enoch. Enoch was the great-great-great-grandson of Seth. Seth was born to Adam, the 1st man, and his wife Eve, the mother of all living. The Lord God created Adam. The Lord God formed Adam from the dust of the ground, and the Lord God made Eve after taking a part out of Adam. When Jacob was 130 years old, he moved with his family from Canaan to Egypt, the country wherein Joseph, the 1st son born to Jacob and Rachel, was second-in-command. In Egypt, Jacob proclaimed Manasseh and Ephraim, the sons born to Joseph and his wife Asenath, to be his own sons. When Jacob was 147 years old, he died in Egypt, and Joseph, Asher and their brothers buried Jacob's body in the same cave in Canaan wherein the bodies of Sarah, Abraham, Rebekah, Isaac and Leah were buried. Sometime after 110-year-old Joseph died in Egypt, and his siblings were dead, their descendants the Israelites (Hebrews) were enslaved in Egypt. When Moses was 3 months old, Jochebed placed Moses in a specially prepared ark and set the ark in the vegetation near the river to avoid the murderous command of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. While Miriam watched nearby, the daughter of Pharaoh sent her maid to retrieve the ark. After Miriam saw Pharaoh's daughter looking at the baby inside the ark, Miriam talked to Pharaoh's daughter, and called to Jochebed, and Pharaoh's daughter talked to Jochebed, and arranged to pay Jochebed to nurse Moses. When Jochebed took her child back to Pharaoh's daughter, Pharaoh's daughter named the child Moses, and Moses lived as the son of the daughter of Pharaoh. When Moses was 40 years old, he saw an Egyptian beating an Israelite. Moses killed the Egyptian and hid the Egyptian's body. The next day, during a fight between 2 Israelites, the murder was mentioned to Moses. Moses left Egypt, began living in Midian, and married Zipporah, an Midianite woman descended from Abraham and his 2nd wife Keturah, and Abraham and Keturah's son Midian. Gershom and Eliezer were born to Moses and Zipporah. When Moses was 80 years old and herding the sheep that belonged to Zipporah's father Jethro (Reuel), Moses saw a bush that was afire and was not burning. The Lord God called to Moses from the midst of the bush and spoke to Moses. Moses spoke to the Lord God, and the Lord God sent Moses, with Aaron as Moses' mouthpiece, to speak to the Israelite elders and Pharaoh. The Israelites believed, and bowed and worshiped. Pharaoh did not believe and refused to let the Israelites go offer sacrifices to the Lord God. After the Lord God brought the 10th and final plague upon Pharaoh and Egypt, Pharaoh told Moses and Aaron to go out with the Israelites and their animals from among the Egyptians and go serve the Lord God, and be gone, and also bless him. Moreover, the Egyptians quickly wanted the Israelites to leave. After the Israelites requested and received items of gold, silver and other goods from the Egyptians, fulfilling the words that the Lord God spoke to Abraham over 600 years earlier, Moses and Aaron led the Israelites, and those with them, away from Egypt. Shortly thereafter, Pharaoh and the Egyptians, with their chariots, horses, horsemen, and army, went after the Israelites. At the Red Sea, the Israelites saw the Egyptians and were afraid and cried out to the Lord God, and the Israelites asked Moses a multitude of questions. Moses spoke to the Israelites, and the Lord God spoke to Moses. The Angel of God who went before the Israelites went behind the Israelites, and the pillar of cloud that went before the Israelites stood behind the Israelites, giving light to the Israelites, and being a cloud and darkness to the Egyptians. Meanwhile, Moses obeyed the commands of the Lord God, and the Lord God caused the sea to go back, and the Red Sea was divided. The Israelites walked across on the exposed, dry ground, and the Lord God troubled the Egyptian army. As Moses obeyed the commands of the Lord God, the Red Sea returned to its full depth, and the Lord God overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the Red Sea. The Israelites saw the dead bodies of the Egyptians, and all that the Lord God had done in Egypt, and the Israelites revered the Lord God, and believed the Lord God, and believed Moses. Moses and his fellow Israelites sang a song to the Lord God, and Miriam and the women who went out behind Miriam responded. In Hazeroth, Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses and said that the Lord God also spoke through them. The Lord God told Moses, Aaron and Miriam to come to the tabernacle, and the Lord God came down in the pillar of cloud and called forth Aaron and Miriam. Aaron and Miriam went to the Lord God, and the Lord God spoke to Aaron and Miriam. The anger of the Lord God burned against Aaron and Miriam, and the Lord God departed. When the cloud departed from above the tabernacle, Miriam became a leper. Aaron made a plea to Moses, and Moses cried out to the Lord God. The Lord God commanded that Miriam be shut out of the camp 7 days before rejoining the Israelites. During the 40-year journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, Miriam died and was buried in Kadesh, in the desert wilderness of Zin. Upon Mount Hor, 123-year-old Aaron died and was buried. When Moses went upon Mount Nebo, the Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and 120-year-old Moses died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses's successor, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. Over 1,300 years after 110-year-old Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. On the 8th day after Jesus was born, Jesus was circumcised, according to the covenant of circumcision that the Lord God gave Abraham. When the days of Mary's purification were fulfilled, Joseph and Mary brought Jesus to Jerusalem in Judea to present Jesus to the Lord God and to offer the appropriate sacrifice, according to the laws that the Lord God gave Moses for the Israelites. In Jerusalem, at the temple of the Lord, righteous and devout Simeon received Jesus into his arms and blessed the Lord God and blessed the family, and Anna the prophetess saw Jesus and thanked the Lord God and spoke of Jesus to the others waiting for the anticipated redemption.-Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus 12:1-8, Numbers 13:1-14:45, 20:1-29, 26:1-27:23, Deuteronomy 31:1-34:12, Joshua 1:1-5:15, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezra 1:1-11, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
