Thematic Bible: Often sent as a punishment for sin


Thematic Bible



Uzziah, with a firepan in his hand to offer incense, was enraged. But when he became enraged with the priests, in the presence of the priests in the Lord’s temple beside the altar of incense, a skin disease broke out on his forehead.

The Lord's anger burned against them, and He left. As the cloud moved away from the tent, Miriam's [skin] suddenly became diseased, as [white] as snow. When Aaron turned toward her, he saw that she was diseased


Israel chose new gods,
then war was in the gates.
Not a shield or spear was seen
among 40,000 in Israel.
