As she was in a ceremonial sense, being to be shut up and excluded from the society of people, and as defiling by touching as a dead carcase; and, in a natural sense, her flesh, by the disease upon her, was become as dead flesh, putrid and rotten, and unless miraculously cured it would issue in her death:<\/p>\n of whom the flesh is half consumed, when he cometh out of his mother’s womb<\/strong>; like an abortive, or one stillborn, that has been dead some time in its mother’s womb; and therefore when brought forth its flesh is almost wasted away, or at least half consumed: and in such a plight and condition was Miriam already, or quickly would be, through the force of her disease.<\/p>\n (12) Let her not be as one dead.<\/strong>This is another of the places in which the Scribes are said to have altered the text. The original is said to have been as follows:Let her not be as one dead, who proceeded from the womb of our mother, and half of our flesh be consumed. <\/em>The leper was as one dead in two respects(1) as being shut out from inter course with his brethren; and (2) as causing ceremonial defilement in the case of those who were brought into contact with him, similar to that which was caused by touching a dead body. He was, as Archbishop Trench has remarked, a dreadful parable of death (On the Miracles, <\/em>p. 214). In the most severe types of leprosy there was, as the same writer has observed, a dissolution, little by little, of the whole body, so that one limb after another actually decayed and fell away (Ibid, <\/em>p. 213).<\/p>\n 12<\/strong>. <\/strong> As one dead <\/strong> Cut off from society and from all religious privileges, dwelling alone without the camp. Compelled to proclaim her own defilement to all comers. Lev 13:45-46<\/span>, notes. Keil renders this thus: Let her not be as the dead thing on whose coming out of his mother’s womb half its flesh is consumed; <\/em> that is, like a stillborn child, which comes into the world half decomposed. Leprosy decomposes the living body.<\/p>\n ‘Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.’ <\/p>\n He begged that she might not be as a stillborn baby coming from its mother’s womb wrinkled, partially formed and looking grotesque, a baby that no one bothered to clean it up. For if she was permanently skin diseased she too was distorted, and was as good as dead. <\/p>\n ( Note:<\/strong> ‘Leprous’ is probably a misnomer. Modern leprosy was seemingly fairly rare in Old Testament times. The word means rather a general skin disease. It could also be used of mould and fungi in clothes and houses.) <\/p>\n Num 12:12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb.<\/p>\n Ver. 12.

This is one of the eighteen emendations of the Sopherim (see App-33), to avoid what was supposed to he derogatory to Aaron. <\/p>\n his mother’s. The Primitive Text read “our mother’s” (see above note): thus it is made impersonal. <\/p>\n as one dead: Psa 88:4, Psa 88:5, Eph 2:1-5, Col 2:13, 1Ti 5:6 <\/p>\n of whom: Job 3:16, Psa 58:8, 1Co 15:8 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Lev 13:2 – the plague of leprosy Job 13:28 – And he<\/p>\n 12:12 Let her not be as one {g} dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb.<\/p>\n (g) As a child that is stillborn, as if it is only the skin.<\/p>\n Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb. 12. be as one dead ] i.e. become so by the terrible effects of the spreading disease.
