“And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.”
So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on till she was brought back — the entire congregation halts its wilderness journey for Miriam's restoration; her restoration is the community's restoration. The willingness to wait communicates that even corrected rebels remain part of the covenant people.
