In Number chapter 12, Miriam and Aaron criticize Moses. They criticize him for his choice of spouse.
The Lord was furious.
How dare anyone criticize someone whom God speaks clearly to and not in riddles, whom God had shown his true form to?
Miriam was punished with a dreaded disease. Moses, on the other hand, was humble and asked the Lord for forgiveness and pleaded with Him to heal Miriam. God did, but only under the circumstance that Miriam be exiled for seven days.
Moses handled the criticism well and did not hold any grudges against Miriam and Aaron. He easily could have, and everyone would've understood. Instead, Moses brushes off the criticism and looks to the positive.
