From various sources, it seems she was punished for the things she said, causing her to lose years from her predestined life span, which was either 175 (like Avraham), 170 (to die when Avraham was supposed to die), or 165 (to die when Avraham DID die). <br />Enjoy!<br />Avi BilletA.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01589500849392390120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-27407737952858651282009-11-08T12:17:00.361-05:002009-11-08T12:17:00.361-05:00There is a source (Ramban?) who says that Moshe an...There is a source (Ramban?) who says that Moshe and Aharon are described as dying "al pi hashem", but not Miriam, because it is inappropriate to imagine God kissing a woman (think: Greek myths and Christian theology).<br /><br />That seems relevant here.Shlomonoreply@blogger.com
