This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Num 12:10-16. Miriam’s leprosy.
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 (Exo 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.
