Thematic Bible: Miriam's leprosy

And, when, the cloud, removed from off the tent, - lo! Miriam, leprous, like snow! And Aaron turned unto Miriam and lo! -- leprous! Then said Aaron unto Moses, - Oh my lord, do not I beseech thee lay upon us sin, although we have made ourselves foolish, and although we have sinned. Let her not, I beseech thee, remain like the still-born, - which when it is born of its mother, the half of its flesh is consumed. read more.
Then Moses made outcry unto Yahweh, saying, - O GOD, I beseech thee grant healing. I beseech thee unto her. And Yahweh said unto Moses: If, her own father, had, but spat, in her face, would she not, have acknowledged the shame for seven days? Let her shut herself up for seven days, outside the camp, and afterwards, let her be received back. So Miriam shut herself up, outside the camp, for seven days, - and, the people, set not forward, until Miriam had been received back.
