¹ 摩西娶了古實女子為妻。米利暗和亞倫因他所娶的古實女子，就毀謗他，說：

² 難道耶和華單與摩西說話，不也與我們說話麼？這話耶和華聽見了。

³ 摩西為人極其謙和，勝過世上的眾人。

⁴ 耶和華忽然對摩西、亞倫、米利暗說：你們三個人都出來，到會幕這裡。他們三個人就出來了。

⁵ 耶和華在雲柱中降臨，站在會幕門口，召亞倫和米利暗，二人就出來了。

⁶ 耶和華說：你們且聽我的話：你們中間若有先知，我─耶和華必在異象中向他顯現，在夢中與他說話。

⁷ 我的僕人摩西不是這樣；他是在我全家盡忠的。

⁸ 我要與他面對面說話，乃是明說，不用謎語，並且他必見我的形像。你們毀謗我的僕人摩西，為何不懼怕呢？

⁹ 耶和華就向他們二人發怒而去。

¹⁰ 雲彩從會幕上挪開了，不料，米利暗長了大痲瘋，有雪那樣白，亞倫一看米利暗長了大痲瘋，

¹¹ 就對摩西說：我主阿，求你不要因我們愚昧犯罪，便將這罪加在我們身上。

¹² 求你不要使他像那出母腹、肉已半爛的死胎。

¹³ 於是摩西哀求耶和華說：神阿，求你醫治他！

¹⁴ 耶和華對摩西說：他父親若吐唾沫在他臉上，他豈不蒙羞七天麼？現在要把他在營外關鎖七天，然後才可以領他進來。

¹⁵ 於是米利暗關鎖在營外七天。百姓沒有行路，直等到把米利暗領進來。

¹⁶ 以後百姓從哈洗錄起行，在巴蘭的曠野安營。

¹ In the seventh year of Jehu began Jehoash to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.

² Jehoash did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

³ However the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

⁴ Jehoash said to the priests, "All the money of the holy things that is brought into the house of Yahweh, in current money, the money of the persons for whom each man is rated, and all the money that it comes into any man's heart to bring into the house of Yahweh,

⁵ let the priests take it to them, every man from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the breaches of the house, wherever any breach shall be found."

⁶ But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.

⁷ Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the [other] priests, and said to them, "Why don't you repair the breaches of the house? Now therefore take no more money from your treasurers, but deliver it for the breaches of the house."

⁸ The priests consented that they should take no [more] money from the people, neither repair the breaches of the house.

⁹ But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of Yahweh: and the priests who kept the threshold put therein all the money that was brought into the house of Yahweh.

¹⁰ It was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags and counted the money that was found in the house of Yahweh.

¹¹ They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the house of Yahweh: and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders, who worked on the house of Yahweh,

¹² and to the masons and the stone cutters, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the breaches of the house of Yahweh, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.

¹³ But there were not made for the house of Yahweh cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of Yahweh;

¹⁴ for they gave that to those who did the work, and repaired therewith the house of Yahweh.

¹⁵ Moreover they didn't demand an accounting from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work; for they dealt faithfully.

¹⁶ The money for the trespass offerings, and the money for the sin offerings, was not brought into the house of Yahweh: it was the priests'.

¹⁷ Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it; and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.

¹⁸ Jehoash king of Judah took all the holy things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own holy things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and of the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.

¹⁹ Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²⁰ His servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash at the house of Millo, [on the way] that goes down to Silla.

²¹ For Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
