The introduction of Miriam, 'the prophetess, the sister of Aaron,' shows women's leadership roles in Israel. Her taking 'a timbrel in her hand' initiates communal celebration. The phrase 'all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances' pictures corporate worship led by women. Gender-inclusive worship characterizes Israel's response to redemption. Miriam's prophetess designation indicates she spoke God's word, foreshadowing women's roles in New Testament church (Acts 21:9, 1 Corinthians 11:5).
