Remember and learn

 "Remember what the LORD your God did to Miriam on the way when you came out of Egypt!" - Deuteronomy 24:9

Moses' reminder of Miriam's punishment did not mean that he had not forgiven her or was holding a grudge, but it was a warning to others. If the prophetess was punished for speaking against God's servant, everyone should be careful not to commit that sin. When we see the consequences of other people's sins, we should not rejoice, criticize, or be haughty but learn a lesson.
