Pharaoh gave the order for every newborn Israelite male to die. The mother of Moses hid him for three months. And when that was no longer safe, she got a waterproof papyrus basket and placed the child inside and put it in the reeds along the bank of the Nile River.

Here comes Moses riding down the river, and the Princess daughter finds him. Miriam, the baby´s sister is watching and sees that the Pharaoh’s daughter has discovered the child. She wants to keep the Hebrew boy and adopt him, and name the baby, Moses, saying

“I drew him from the water”.

Miriam is gifted with intuitive prompting, and courageously approaches the Princess, and takes the initiative to suggest a nurse without revealing her relationship, and the Princess listens with approval,

and Miriam fetches her Mom.

The greatness of the emancipation of the Hebrews from slavery has its origin in female intelligence. They are reunited as a family preserving the spirit of youth. Miriam is instinctive and blessed.  Her strength and resilience are poetic inspiration, her qualities shine, protective of her siblings.

Miriam is the first prophetess in the Bible.

She is artistic, a poetess, musician, singer & dancer.

Her gift is poetic and powerful, an embodiment of inspiration.

Her songs bring out the aesthetic

 and speaks from an inward nature

to the souls of her people.

She brings songs of cheer and her poetry is

consecrated to the heavenly life.

She led a chorus of singers who dance

while she plays the timbrel & cymbals

crossing the Red Sea,

praising God for their deliverance.

She sang the Song of Moses

as the Song of the Lamb.

Let her songs rise for others

with bright hope!

Miriam's Well is named in honor of Moses´ sister.

This well miraculously provided water

to the Israelites in the desert wilderness

for forty years.

This Well followed them in their travels

through the wilderness,

a source of water flowing constantly.

This Well is a gift given as a blessing to the Israelites,

its miracle of abundance merited to Miriam,

a prophetess and righteous woman of faith.

JACOB´S WELL

Rebekah got married

& had a favorite son

The twins she carried

with a different identity for each one

Jacob grew up to get married

You see him working at the well

For the babe his love carries

Love deep as his well

Jacob's well is the deepest well

in all of Israel
