Rashi explains that Moshe did not pray at length for his sister’s recovery,
so that the nation should not claim that he prayed only for his own sister.
Why didn’t he, then, move to a private spot, out of the eyes of the public,
and pray as he saw fit? Moshe was constantly involved in the needs of the
nation and therefore had to cut his prayers short. His brief prayer
presented a response to Miriam. He demonstrated with it that his time was
dedicated to the needs of his people. His separation from his wife, too,
was for the benefit of the nation.

Chazal state, “Scholars, be cautious with your words.” One should weigh
his words well, so that no harm emerges from them.

“Miriam and Aharon spoke against Moshe
regarding the Cushite woman he had married,

for he had married a Cushite woman. They said:
Was it only to Moshe that Hashem spoke? Did
He not speak to us, as well? And Hashem heard.
In the Wilderness, Bnei Yisrael encamped and traveled by the word of
Hashem. This was done amidst great self-sacrifice to fulfill Hashem’s will. Now the man Moshe was exceedingly humble,
We, too, must act according to Hashem’s word. more than any person on the face of the earth!”
The spies scouted the Land against Hashem’s wishes. They ended up
speaking derogatorily about the Land and even toward Heaven, rachmana (Bamidbar 12:1-3)

There are instances in which it is imperative to transgress a mitzvah in
order to save a life. In this case, this is Hashem’s will. One who does not
behave correctly is acting in contradiction to what is demanded of him.
“One does not stub his finger below unless it was decreed Above.”
Whatever happens to us in this world is according to the will of Hashem. bamidbar 6 # 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Bamidbar-EYAL | 6 - A | 18-08-19 | 13:48:23 | SR:-- | Black 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS -
