Numbers 12

The anger burns (v 9) - there is no atnah in the verse, no rest point.

I have glossed ענו as afflicted or gentle. I chose gentle here. Moses has a brother and a sister. Perhaps there are a few thoughts about sibling rivalry in this passage also.

Note also that leprosy is from the Greek and Latin glosses chosen by early translators. The disease described by the Hebrew text may not have been leprosy.  For more on the disease see here: Modern medical scholars have identified the white spots described as symptoms of tzaraat as vitiligo, a disfiguring but otherwise harmless disease, or as psoriasis, a disease that results in thick silvery scales and itchy, dry, red patches on the skin.

I see that Rashi effectively denies that Moses had a second wife. Zippora herself is called a Cushite (Ethiopian) because she is so beautiful. One key to the rivalry may be that Moses had separated from her for purposes of Torah, for receiving the word from Yahweh. The opinion is noted here.
