The sister of Moses and Aaron, and daughter of Amram. She was older than Moses, for she watched over him when placed in the ark on the river, and it is probable that she was older than Aaron. Her name is derived from Mara, which signifies bitterness. But if, as is more generally supposed, the name is derived from her father's, Amram signifies exalted. (See Exodus 2:4, etc.)
