Num 12:15 | MHM | STEP | v. 15 : The Israelites did not continue their journey until Miriam was healed and brought back. This delay reminded the people that sin can hinder the whole community. But it also showed compassion, as the people waited for Miriam’s restoration. When someone is disciplined, they should also be welcomed back with forgiveness and love once they repent (2 Cor. ii. 7; 2 Thess. iii. 15 ).
