出埃及記15:19-21

15:19 法老的馬匹、車輛，和馬兵下到海中，耶和華使海水回流，淹沒他們；惟有以色列人在海中走乾地。
15:20 亞倫的姊姊，女先知米利暗，手裡拿著鼓；眾婦女也跟她出去拿鼓跳舞。
15:21 米利暗應聲說：你們要歌頌耶和華，因他大大戰勝，將馬和騎馬的投在海中。

¹⁹ When Pharaoh’s horses, chariots and horsemen^[e] went into the sea, the Lord brought the waters of the sea back over them, but the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground. ²⁰ Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her, with timbrels and dancing. ²¹ Miriam sang to them:

“Sing to the Lord,
    for he is highly exalted.
Both horse and driver
    he has hurled into the sea.”

    敬拜上帝不只是男人的事情，也是女人的事情！不只摩西是先知，姊姊米利暗也是先知，而且聖經還稱她為「女先知」！

    她帶領婦女唱的歌十分簡短：「你們要歌頌耶和華，因他大大戰勝，將馬和騎馬的投在海中。」

    這樣的短歌卻宣告上帝的大作為，上帝真的得勝了！人再怎樣抵抗上帝，都無法勝過上帝的！
