Miriam the prophetess, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine, and all the women followed her with tambourines, dancing.
Dancing plays an important role in every culture, often as a part of religious ritual.

Number 18 is a sacred number in Buddhism and Hinduism as well as in Kabbalah where it means Chai – Life.
