Word of the Day - 9/5/2008

Objurgate

To objurgate is to express strong disapproval; to criticize severely.

Moses' siblings objurgated to his interracial marriage to a Cushite woman.

Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married (for he had married a Cushite woman); (Numbers 12:1, NASB)

The Lord sided with Moses on this issue and in response, Miriam was striken with leprosy.
