The Intercession of Moses

12:11 So Aaron said to Moses, “O my lord,22 please do not hold this sin against us, in which we have acted foolishly and have sinned! 12:12 Do not let her be like a baby born dead, whose flesh is half-consumed when it comes out of its23 mother’s womb!”

12:13 Then Moses cried to the Lord, “Heal her now, O God.”24 12:14 The Lord said to Moses, “If her father had only spit25 in her face, would she not have been disgraced for seven days? Shut her out from the camp seven days, and afterward she can be brought back in again.”

12:15 So Miriam was shut outside of the camp for seven days, and the people did not journey on until Miriam was brought back in.26 12:16 After that the people moved from Hazeroth and camped in the wilderness of Paran.
