Commentary on Numbers 12:14
God's response establishes that even Moses' intercession could not eliminate consequences: 'let her be shut out from the camp seven days.' The Hebrew tisager (let her be shut out) indicates quarantine for purification. Divine mercy reduced the penalty (she was healed), but discipline remained necessary. This teaches that forgiveness does not always eliminate consequences. God's character requires both mercy and justice. The seven-day period fulfilled the law's requirement for cleansing (Leviticus 13-14), showing that even grace operates within holy standards.
