“And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.”
When the cloud lifted from above the tent, there was Miriam — covered with leprous sores, white as snow — the sudden manifestation of leprosy (tzara'at) on Miriam is swift and undeniable judgment. The snow-white appearance (snow purity inverted into disease) marks her as unclean, excluded from the camp, excluded from the community of God's people.
