1
And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had taken; for he had taken a Cushite as wife .
2
And they said , Has Jehovah indeed spoken only to Moses ? has he not spoken also to us ? And Jehovah heard it.
3
But the man Moses was very meek , above all men that were upon the face of the earth.
4
Then Jehovah spoke suddenly to Moses , and to Aaron , and to Miriam , Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they went out, they three .
5
And Jehovah came down in the pillar of the cloud , and stood at the entrance of the tent , and called Aaron and Miriam ; and they both came forth.
6
And he said , Hear now my words : If there be a prophet among you, I Jehovah will make myself known to him in a vision, I will speak to him in a dream .
7
Not so my servant Moses : he is faithful in all my house .
8
Mouth to Mouth do I speak to him openly, and not in riddles; and the form of Jehovah doth he behold. Why then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant , against Moses ?
9
And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against them, and he went away;
10
and the cloud departed from off the tent . And behold, Miriam was leprous as snow ; and Aaron turned toward Miriam , and behold, she was leprous.
11
Then Aaron said to Moses , Alas, my lord , I beseech thee, lay not this sin upon us , wherein we have been foolish, and have sinned!
12
Let her not be as one stillborn, half of whose flesh is consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb .
13
And Moses cried to Jehovah , saying, O ùGod, heal her, I beseech thee!
14
And Jehovah said to Moses , But had her father anyways spat in her face , should she not be shamed seven days ? She shall be shut outside the camp seven days , and afterwards she shall be received in [again].
15
And Miriam was shut outside the camp seven days ; and the people did not journey till Miriam was received in [again].
16
And afterwards the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran .
