Moses' Authority Challenged by Miriam and Aaron

Aaron and Miriam stand before Moses and his Nubian wife and dispute his authority by making remarks about his marriage to her. On the right, Moses, Aaron, and Miriam speak with God, who appears in the doorway of the Tabernacle. In the landscape, Aaron kneels before Moses, begging him not to hold his sin against him. Miriam sits stricken with leprosy in the desert. On the mountain, Moses prays for her healing.

At the bottom of the margin, a verse in Latin about the Beatitude and the subject. This print is part of an album.
