Why did Miriam get leprosy on the wilderness journey and did she recover?
Miriam contracted leprosy because of her complaints during the wilderness journey. God dealt with the matter, yet He also healed her, so she did recover. This episode occurred before the quail incident and before Israel reached the border of the promised land.
Les teaches that during the wilderness journey there was an episode of leprosy with Miriam because of some of her complaints. God dealt with it, but fortunately He also healed her, so she did recover. This took place before the episode of the quails, when Israel complained about not having the flesh pots of Egypt, and before the congregation came to Numbers chapter 14, where they wept and murmured against Moses and Aaron. The context places these events after the cloud directed Israel up to the border of the promised land.
