Analysis of Micah 6:4: the Hebrew word for 'lead' has God as the subject, not Miriam — Belleville stretches the text.

How Women Could and Couldn’t Lead in the Old Testament: Women in Ministry part 3 00:17:56 – 00:18:28

Rebutting Belleville's first claim about Miriam

Micah 6:4 says 'I brought you up from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.' The Hebrew word meaning 'lead' (which Belleville highlights) has God as its subject — God led them and sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam before them. It's not Miriam leading. The Septuagint also supports this reading. This is stretching the text.
