Have you ever been betrayed by a loved one? This week Moses is criticized by his brother and sister for marrying a woman of color. They go on to complain because they feel like he gets too much attention. God hears their accusations and immediately responds.
God calls all three of them to the tabernacle and explains His relationship with Moses. He defends His servant and asks Miriam and Aaron a pointed question iin Numbers 12:8.
The Lord is very angry with them and as He departs Mariam is struck with leprosy. Aaron immediately ask his brother to forgive him for his foolishness and saying and begs him to pray to the Lord to heal his sister. The Lord shows his faithfulness and mercy but requires Mariam to be put out of the camp for seven days.
