Which sister of Aaron carried a tambourine during the crossing of the Red Sea event?

Miriam, the sister of Aaron, carried a tambourine and led the women in a song and celebration after God delivered Israel at the Red Sea. In Exodus 15:20-21 she is named as "the prophetess" and is described as leading the women's tambourine procession, signaling her recognized role in worship and her close kinship to Moses and Aaron. The other figures come from different stories: Esther is from the Persian narrative, while Rachel and Sarah are matriarchs from earlier Genesis history and not associated with the Red Sea event.
