Even leaders can fall to pride, and Numbers 12 is the proof. Miryam (Miriam) and Aharon (Aaron), the sister and brother of Mosheh (Moses), spoke against him, partly over his wife and partly out of jealousy for his standing. Yahweh heard every word. What followed is one of the clearest pictures in Scripture of how the Most High treats pride against His chosen servant, and how He defends the meek. There is also a striking detail in the judgment itself, leprosy that turned Miryam white as snow, that quietly tells us something about the people it happened to. Read it carefully and weigh it.
