Why did God "spit" on Mary (Miriam) to be out for a week?


Mary or Miriam, the sister of Aaron and Moses, was set apart when she claimed similar rights with his brother Aaron. She wanted to be a ruler in Israel and the account of Num. 12:2 tells me so.

Have any of you read on that lesson God gave them? (Num. 12:10-11)

God said something that could be an ancient custom for Jewish people (I don´t know). She was sent out for the rebelion she tried to partake with his brother Aaron (who, in fact, shared authority with his brother Moses).

What could be the lesson? Note Aaron was not punished like that, so I inferred Miriam (Mary) was stirring the issue against Moses (Num. 12:14-15).

In the long run, I think the precedent is on Gen. 3:16b, connected to I Cort. 11:3

What have you heard about this?

I wish God had clearified this thing for me.
