The sin of jealousy struck Miriam. This bitter side of her character shows one of the most perfect examples in the Bible of woman's mixed nature of good and evil.

It is sometimes difficult to watch others succeed, especially hard to celebrate the success of a sibling. Besides, Miriam had such pride in her own race, so she may have told Moses that he should have chosen his wife from among his own people. She made her complaint public and Aaron was a partner in the complaint. Yet Miriam's name was placed first. Maybe it was she who brought up the matter to Aaron and influenced his thinking.

That the Lord punished Miriam only was probably because He wanted to set an example and Aaron did feel regret thereafter. Being a leper with spit in one's face was an effective punishment for man's jealousy and pride.
