Nu 12:10-16. MIRIAM'S LEPROSY.
10. the cloud departed from the tabernacle--that is, from the door
to resume its permanent position over the mercy seat.
Miriam became leprous--This malady in its most malignant form
(Ex 4:6;
2Ki 5:27)
as its color, combined with its sudden appearance, proved, was
inflicted as a divine judgment; and she was made the victim, either
because of her extreme violence or because the leprosy on Aaron would
have interrupted or dishonored the holy service.
