[Avodah] Miriam and Aharon

[SBA]

From: "Doron Beckerman" <>
See Avos D' Rabbi Nosson Perek 9:2, that Aharon was not the primary talker
(or perhaps,  was not talkative generally?) and therefore his punishment of
Tzaraas (if it happened at all - see Sugya  Shabbos 97a) was not made clear
( i.e. the Tzaraas that he got for just a moment, was transferred to
Miriam).
>>>>

Emek HaNetziv on Sifri writes that because of 'kvod kehunosoy' of Aharon,
HKBH pitied him and placed the tzoraas on Miriam - which when Aharon saw
this - it caused him pain.

For some additional similar sources see Pardes Yosef Hachosdosh Bamidbor 1,
p. 480.
