Numbers 12:13
11 and said to Moses, “My lord, please do not hold against us this sin we have so foolishly committed.
12 Please do not let her be like a stillborn infant whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”
So Moses cried out to the LORD, “O God, please heal her!”
14 But the LORD answered Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Let her be confined outside the camp for seven days; after that she may be brought back in.”
15 So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until she was brought in again.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
