Numbers 12:11-15 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

11. he said to Moses: "I beg you, my lord, not to impose upon us this sin, which we have committed foolishly.

12. Do not let this one be like one who is dead, or like an abortion that has been cast from the womb of her mother. Behold, half of her flesh is already consumed by leprosy."

13. And Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, "O God, I beg you: heal her."

14. And the Lord answered him: "If her father had spit on her face, should she not have been filled with shame for at least seven days? Let her be separated, outside the camp, for seven days, and after that, she will be called back."

15. And so Miriam was excluded from the camp for seven days. And the people did not move from that place, until Miriam was called back.
