Context of Numbers 12:13
11So Aaron said to Moses, “O my lord, please do not hold this sin against us, in which we have acted foolishly and have sinned! 12Do not let her be like a baby born dead, whose flesh is half-consumed when it comes out of its mother’s womb!” Then Moses cried to the Lord, “Heal her now, O God.” 14The Lord said to Moses, “If her father had only spit 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.” 15So Miriam was shut outside of the camp for seven days, and the people did not journey on until Miriam was brought back in.

Aaron, who joined…Read the comment
