• Then we see she could not come into the presence of Jehovah, and had to be kept outside seven days. So the whole camp was affected (vs. 15). It was a complete cycle of time, and represents the present interval now going on. Then she is brought in, through the intercession of Moses, purely on the ground of mercy. So Israel. It is purely on the ground of mercy they will finally be brought in, and through the intercession of the Mediator. (“Chapter 12.” by J.A. Taylor, of Worthing)
• There is no such thing as a little sin, because there is no little God to sin against; but there is great sin, and “greater sin” (John 19:11). Therefore any sin can only be met by atonement. God has received the atonement; we receive the reconciliation. There is no such thing as a reconciled God and Father. It is an enemy that needs reconciling; and God was never the enemy of man. It is the sinner that needs reconciling. The prophet says to David: “God also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.” But “the sword shall never depart from thy house:” that is government. So here, it is grace that healed and forgave; and then government shut her out for seven days. (“Chapter 12.” by J.A. Taylor, of Worthing)
