"And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Moses and Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously."
Exodus XV, vv. 20-21
A timbrel was a percussion instrument rather like our tamborine, played mostly by women.
