Do you have priestly Privileges?

Numbers 12: 1-5, 9-10 

 ¹Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married (for he had married a ^(A)Cushite woman);

 ^2(B)and they said, "Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us as well?" And the LORD heard it.

 ³(Now the man Moses was ^(C)very humble, more than any man who was on the face of the earth.)

 ⁴Suddenly the LORD said to Moses and Aaron and to Miriam, "You three come out to the tent of meeting." So the three of them came out.

 ^5(D)Then the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the doorway of the tent, and He called Aaron and Miriam. When they had both come forward,

⁹So the anger of the LORD burned against them and ^(K)He departed.

 ¹⁰But when the cloud had withdrawn from over the tent, behold, ^(L)Miriam was leprous, as ^(M)white as snow. As Aaron turned toward Miriam, behold, she was leprous.  

In verses 6-8 the Lord spoke angrily to them.  Notice how the Lord went up after speaking!  He left unceremoniusly.  Many questions come to mind.  Two people offend, why is one severely punished and the other untouched? 

Perhaps it is because one was a priest.  Do priests have special "go-arounds", privileges?  I do not know.  Speak to God (pray), who knows, you may have the same exemptions.

1 Peter 2:9
But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
