< Numbers 12 >

1 And she spoke Miriam and Aaron against Moses on [the] causes of the woman Cushite whom he had taken for a woman Cushite he had taken.
Miriam and Aaron were critical of Moses because of his Ethiopian wife—he'd married an Ethiopian woman.
2 And they said ¿ only only by Moses has he spoken Yahweh ¿ not also by us has he spoken and he heard Yahweh.
“Is it only through Moses that the Lord speaks?” they asked. “Doesn't he speak through us too?” The Lord heard all this.
3 And the man Moses ([was] humble *Q(K)*) very more than every person who [was] on [the] surface of the ground.
Moses was a very humble man, more than anyone else on earth.
4 And he said Yahweh suddenly to Moses and to Aaron and to Miriam come out O [the] three of you to [the] tent of meeting and they went out [the] three of them.
All of a sudden the Lord called for Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, telling them, “The three of you, come to the Tent of Meeting.” The three of them did so.
5 And he came down Yahweh in a pillar of cloud and he stood [the] entrance of the tent and he summoned Aaron and Miriam and they went out both of them.
The Lord came down in a pillar of cloud and stood in the entrance to the Tent. He called Aaron and Miriam and they came forward.
6 And he said hear please words my if he is prophet of your Yahweh by vision to him I make myself known by a dream I speak with him.
“Now listen to my words, he told them. If you had prophets, I the Lord would reveal myself to them in visions; I would communicate with them in dreams.
7 Not thus servant my Moses in all house my [is] faithful he.
But it's not like this with my servant Moses, who of all my people is the one who is faithful.
8 Mouth to mouth I speak with him and a vision and not by riddles and [the] form of Yahweh he sees and why? not were you afraid to speak against servant my against Moses.
I talk to him personally, face to face. I speak plainly, not in riddles. He sees the likeness of the Lord. So why weren't you afraid when you criticized my servant Moses?”
9 And it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on them and he went.
The Lord was angry with them, and he left.
10 And the cloud it departed from over the tent and there! Miriam [was] leprous like snow and he turned Aaron to Miriam and there! leprous.
As the cloud rose above the Tent, Miriam's skin suddenly turned white with leprosy. Aaron turned to look and saw that she had leprosy.
11 And he said Aaron to Moses pardon me O lord my do not please may put on us [the] sin which we have acted foolishly and which we have sinned.
He said to Moses, “My lord, please don't punish us for this sin that we've so stupidly committed.
12 May not please she be like dead [person] whom when came forth he from [the] womb of mother his and it was eaten half of flesh his.
Please don't let her become like a stillborn baby whose flesh is already decaying when they're born!”
13 And he cried out Moses to Yahweh saying O God please heal please her.
Moses called out to the Lord, “God, please heal her!”
14 And he said Yahweh to Moses and father her certainly he had spat in face her ¿ not will she be put to shame seven days she will be shut up seven days from [the] outside of the camp and after she will be received.
But the Lord replied to Moses, “If her father had spit in her face wouldn't she have been disgraced for seven days? Keep her in isolation outside the camp for seven days, and then she can be taken back in.”
15 And she was shut up Miriam from [the] outside of the camp seven days and the people not it set out until was received Miriam.
Miriam was kept in isolation outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until she was taken back in.
16 And after they set out the people from Hazeroth and they encamped in [the] wilderness of Paran.
Then the people left Hazeroth and set up camp in the Desert of Paran.
