Numeri 12:13 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 12:13

And Moses cried unto the Lord
With a loud voice, and with great earnestness and importunity, being heartily affected with the miserable condition Miriam was in:

saying, heal her now, O God, I beseech thee;
in the original text it is, "O God now, heal her now"; for the same particle is used at the close as at the beginning of the petition; and the repetition of it shows his earnestness and importunity that she might be healed directly, immediately, without any delay; and Moses uses the word "El", which signifies the strong and mighty God, as expressive of his faith in the power of God, that he was able to heal her; and at the same time suggests that none but he could do it; and so Aben Ezra interprets it,

``thou that hast power in thine hand, now heal her;''

this prayer is a proof of his being of a meek, humble, and forgiving spirit.

Numeri 12:13 In-Context

11 E Aaronne disse a Mosè: "Deh, signor mio, non ci far portare la pena di un peccato che abbiamo stoltamente commesso, e di cui siamo colpevoli.
12 Deh, ch’ella non sia come il bimbo nato morto, la cui carne è già mezzo consumata quand’esce dal seno materno!"
13 E Mosè gridò all’Eterno dicendo: "Guariscila, o Dio, te ne prego!"
14 E l’Eterno rispose a Mosè: "Se suo padre le avesse sputato in viso, non ne porterebbe ella la vergogna per sette giorni? Stia dunque rinchiusa fuori del campo sette giorni; poi, vi sarà di nuovo ammessa".
15 Maria dunque fu rinchiusa fuori del campo sette giorni; e il popolo non si mise in cammino finché Maria non fu riammessa al campo.
