¹³ And Moses cried to the Lord, saying, “O God, please heal her.” ¹⁴ But the Lord said to Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, would she not bear her shame for seven days? Let her be shut out of the camp for seven days, and after that she may be brought in again.”^{(A) 15} So Miriam was shut out of the camp for seven days, and the people did not set out on the march until Miriam had been brought in again.
