Miriam is Judged and Healed

Numbers 12:10-16

But when the cloud was removed from above the tent, Miryam had tzara'at, as white as snow. Aharon looked at Miryam, and she was as white as snow.

Aharon said to Moshe, "Oh, my lord, please don't punish us for this sin we committed so foolishly.

Please don't let her be like a stillborn baby, with its body half eaten away when it comes out of its mother's womb!"

Moshe cried to ADONAI, "Oh God, I beg you, please, heal her!"

ADONAI answered Moshe, "If her father had merely spit in her face, wouldn't she hide herself in shame for seven days? So let her be shut out of the camp for seven days; after that, she can be brought back in."

Miryam was shut out of the camp seven days, and the people did not travel until she was brought back in.

Afterwards, the people went on from Hatzerot and camped in the Pa'ran Desert.
