When Aaron turned toward her, he saw that she was diseasedand said to Moses,“ My lord, please don’t hold against us this sin we have so foolishly committed.Please don’t let her be like a dead baby whose flesh is half eaten away when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”Then Moses cried out to the LORD,“ God, please heal her!”The LORD answered Moses,“ If her father had merely spit in her face, wouldn’t she remain in disgrace for seven days? Let her be confined outside the camp for seven days; after that she may be brought back in.”So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until Miriam was brought back in.
