[Avodah] How could Aharon and Miriam have been in the mishkan or chatzer when tamei?

[Marty Bluke]

At the beginning of Bamidbar the Meshech Chochma asks the following
question. A Baal keri is prohibited from being in the machane leviya, if so
how could the Leviim ever live with their wives (in the machane leviya) and
become a baal keri? Ayen sham his answer.

Based on this I was bothered by a similar question in last weeks parsha.At
the end of Behaloscha we have the famous story of Miriam and Aharon talking
against Moshe and then Hashem calls the 3 of them to go outside. Rashi
comments that Aharon and Miriam were both temeim b'derech eretz (e.g. tumas
keri) and tehrefore were screaming for water. If so we can ask the same
question, how could they be in the chatzer of the mishkan while tamei? A
Baal keri is prohibited from going there.
