Miriam Dihukum Leprosy

Miriam stands apart with pale, afflicted skin as Moses and Aaron face her in alarm and sorrow. The scene portrays the judgment recorded in Numbers 12, when Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses and the Lord defended His servant. Miriam’s leprosy becomes the visible sign of rebellion, while Moses’ intercession reveals humility and mercy before God. The tent-like setting and priestly garments connect the moment to Israel’s wilderness journey, where leadership, obedience, and reverence for God’s appointed calling are tested. This artwork is suited for teaching on gossip, spiritual authority, repentance, divine discipline, and compassionate prayer.
