Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Deuteronomy 24:9
Remember what the LORD thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt.
God smote Miriam with leprosy for her contempt of Moses, and therefore thou mayst expect the same or like punishment, if thou dost despise the counsel and direction of the Levites, which I have set over thee, and commanded thee to observe in this and the like matters.

Remember what the Lord thy God did unto Miriam,…. Who was stricken with leprosy for speaking against Moses, and was shut up seven days; and they are reminded of this instance, partly to warn them against entertaining evil suspicions, and surmises of persons in power and authority, and speaking evil of them; and partly to expect that punishment would certainly be inflicted on them, should they be guilty of the same crime; nor should they think it hard, either to be smitten with leprosy, or to be shut up for it; since Miriam, a prophetess, and the sister of Moses, was so used; and that when
by the way, after that ye were come out of Egypt: when upon their journey, and were retarded in it, and obliged to stay at least seven days before they could proceed on in it; see Nu 12:14.

Ver. 9. Remember what the Lord thy God did unto Miriam This may be understood, either as an admonition, that they ought not to think much of being shut out of the camp, and going through the appointed purifications for the leprosy, since a person of so much distinction as Miriam was not exempted from that law; or it may be considered as an exhortation, to take care lest they spoke evil of dignities, or disobeyed the command of the priest, which might bring such a stroke upon them as God inflicted upon Miriam.
