Miriam was not Aaron's wife. She was his sister.
Exodus 15:20
And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
She was punished by being stricken with leprosy.
Numbers 12:10
And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

∙ 13y agoMiriam wasn't Aaron's wife. She was the sister of both Aaron and Moses. Subsequent
to her criticism of Moses, she contracted some sort of skin plague not definitely identified
to modern medicine. Some translations of The Bible call it "Leprosy", but that's not an
accurate translation.
