10As the cloud lifted from above the Tent, suddenly Miriam became leprous, white as snow. Aaron turned toward her, saw that she was leprous, 11and said to Moses, “My lord, please do not hold against us this sin we have so foolishly committed. 12Please do not let her be like a stillborn infant whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”
Leprosy, a reflection of her heart!
“Leprosy was a disease of bodily decay and corruption; it was considered to be a “walking death” - and Miriam had a seriously advanced case of leprosy instantly. At this moment, God caused her body to reflect her heart.” (Guzik)
Aaron turned....and saw....
Aaron apparently was the first to notice, even before Miriam.
Leprosy kills the nerves, so the affected can’t feel anything which is dangerous in itself.
Judging is sinful and a reflection of our heart.
But we aren’t God, the maker of heaven and earth.
If we had His ability to discipline and punish, how many of us would be lepers?
Blessings
