When the fleeing Israelites reached
the Red Sea, "Moses stretched out his hand over the sea. The Lord
drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and turned the sea into dry
land.... The Israelites went into the sea on dry ground, the waters
forming a wall for them on their right and on their left." In the
morning, the sea closed over the pursuing army and drowned them, and the
Israelites were safe on the other side. "Then the prophet Miriam,
Aaron's sister, took a tambourine in her hand; and all the women went out after
her with tambourines and with dancing. And Miriam sang to them:
˜Sing to the Lord for the glorious
triuimph;
horse and rider have been thrown into the sea."
Exodus 14:21-15:21
Potential ornaments for the Jesse Tree: a tambourine or
other musical instrument (we have a banjo), a dancer
