A story ofMiriam the Prophetessמרים הנביאה בת עמרם

When the baby Moshe was cast into the Nile, Miriam stood at a distance to see what would become of him. Chazal explain that she stood there because she had prophesied, “My mother is destined to bear a son who will redeem Yisroel.”

When the baby was thrown into the river, her mother slapped her on the head and said, “My daughter, where is your prophecy?”

It is told that when Moshe was born, the whole house was filled with light. Her father kissed her on her head and said, “My daughter, your prophecy has been fulfilled.”
