they leave behind. Rabbi Eleazar taught that Miriam died with a Divine kiss, just as Moses would. As says, "So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab by the mouth of the Lord," and says, "And Miriam died there" — both using the word "there" — Rabbi Eleazar deduced that both Moses and Miriam died the same way. Rabbi Eleazar explained that does not say that Miriam died "by the mouth of the Lord" because it would be indelicate to say so.
