Homilies on Numbers, Homilia VII · §1

Again on the Cushite and Miriam’s leprosy

Again on the Cushite wife and Miriam’s leprosy. Aaron and Miriam, speaking against Moses, are rebuked; Miriam remains leprous a week. The people do not move until Miriam is cleansed. Heretics and slanderers are held leprous in soul outside the camp of God’s church.

Latin

Rursum de Aethiopissa et de lepra Mariae. Aaron et Maria de Moyse locuti correpti sunt; Maria septimana in lepra manet. Populus non movetur donec mundetur Maria. Haeretici et obtrectatores leprosi in anima extra castra ecclesiae habentur.
