Context of Numbers 12:13
11And Aaron said unto Moses, Oh, my lord, lay not, I pray thee, sin upon us, for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned. 12Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb. And Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying, Heal her, O God, I beseech thee. 14And Jehovah said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up without the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again. 15And Miriam was shut up without the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

Aaron, who joined…Read the comment
