Who Is your favourite person in the Torah?
AryehYehudah:
Ok, I would like to learn about it.
This is something I have read from Judaism 101 site.. This has always confused me. I mean, it seems she was perhaps one of the greatest women of Torah, but then she commited when seemed to be a bad crime, by rebelling against Moshe's authority and then condemning him in his marriage to a Cushite. I am not an expert on this, but it is what I perceived from reading about it. I like to hear more of what other people have to say who have more knowledge.
Like her brothers, Miriam was not perfect. She led her brother Aaron to speak against Moses over a matter involving a Cushite woman he had married (Zipporah, or possibly a second wife) (Num. 12:1). They also objected to his leadership, noting that he had no monopoly on Divine Communication (Num 12:2). For this, Miriam was punished with tzaaras (an affliction generally translated as leprosy) (Num. 12:10). However, Aaron pled on her behalf, and she was cured (Num. 12:11).
