11. Miriam's leprosy is healed at the prayer of Moses
14. God commands her to be shut out of the host

After that
This phrase indicates a transition from the events that have just occurred. In the context of Numbers 12, this follows the incident where Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, leading to Miriam's leprosy and subsequent healing. This transition marks a return to the journey of the Israelites after a period of divine discipline and restoration.

the people set out from Hazeroth
Hazeroth is one of the stations in the wilderness where the Israelites camped during their exodus from Egypt. It is mentioned in Numbers 11:35 and 33:17. The departure from Hazeroth signifies a continuation of their journey towards the Promised Land. This movement is part of the larger narrative of the Israelites' 40-year journey through the wilderness, which serves as a period of testing and preparation.

and camped in the Wilderness of Paran
The Wilderness of Paran is a significant location in the biblical narrative. It is a large desert area in the Sinai Peninsula, often associated with the region where the Israelites spent a considerable amount of time during their wanderings. Paran is mentioned in Genesis 21:21 as the place where Ishmael settled. It is also the location from which the spies were sent to explore Canaan (Numbers 13:3). The wilderness represents both physical and spiritual challenges, as well as opportunities for growth and reliance on God. The movement to Paran is a step closer to the fulfillment of God's promise to bring the Israelites into the land of Canaan.

Teaching Points
God's Guidance in Transition
The movement from Hazeroth to the Wilderness of Paran signifies a transition. In our lives, God often leads us through transitions, and we must trust His guidance even when the path seems uncertain.

The Importance of Obedience
The Israelites' journey is marked by moments of obedience and disobedience. This verse reminds us of the importance of following God's commands and the consequences of straying from His path.

Leadership and Authority
The events at Hazeroth highlight the importance of respecting God-appointed leadership. We are called to support and pray for our leaders, recognizing their role in God's plan.

Faith in God's Promises
As the Israelites camp in the Wilderness of Paran, they are on the brink of entering the Promised Land. This teaches us to have faith in God's promises, even when the fulfillment seems distant.

Community and Unity
The journey of the Israelites emphasizes the need for unity and community. As believers, we are called to journey together, supporting one another in faith.(16) In the wilderness of Paran.--See Note on Numbers 10:12. It appears from the 26th verse of the following chapter that the encampment was at Kadesh, which has been supposed by some to be identical with Rithniah (Numbers 33:18).

Verse 16. - In the wilderness of Paran. It is somewhat strange that this note of place should be used a second time without explanation (see chapter Numbers 10:12, 33). Probably it is intended to mark the fact that they were still within the limits of Paran, although on the very verge of their promised laud. In the list of stations given in chapter Numbers 33, it is said (verse 18), "They departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah." This is with some probability identified with the Wady Redemat, which opens front the mountain mass of the Azazimat into the singular plain of Kudes, or Kadesh, the scene of the decisive events which followed.
