Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 4. - His sister. There can be no reasonable doubt that this is the "Miriam" of the later narrative (Exodus 15:20, 21; Numbers 20:1), who seems to have been Moses' only sister (Numbers 26:59). She was probably set to watch by her mother.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) His sister.--Presumably Miriam, the only sister of Moses mentioned elsewhere (Exodus 15:20-21; Numbers 26:59). To have taken the part which is assigned her in this chapter, she must have been a girl of some fourteen or fifteen years of age, and possessed of much quickness and intelligence.
