John Trapp Complete Commentary

Numbers 12:15

And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in [again].

Ver. 15. And the people journeyed not.] But stayed for her restoration. She had once stayed for Moses, saith Jarchi, when he was cast into the river, Exo 2:4 therefore the people stay for her. There is a memorandum set upon this leprosy of Miriam, Deu 24:9 like as afterwards was upon Lot's wife's transformation. Luk 17:32
