Numbers 12
1 [Moses’/My older sister] Miriam and [his/my older brother] Aaron were saying this: “Is Moses the only one to whom Yahweh has spoken messages to tell to us [RHQ]? Does Yahweh not speak messages to us two also?” [They told people that] they were saying that because Moses/I had married a woman who was a descendant of the Cush people-group, [but they were really saying that because they (were jealous/did not want Moses/me to be the only leader of the Israeli people)]. But Yahweh heard what they were saying.
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.
And they said ¿ only only by Moses has he spoken Yahweh ¿ not also by us has he spoken and he heard Yahweh.
3 [The truth was that] Moses/I was very humble. He/I was more humble than anyone else on the earth [and Moses/I had not appointed himself/myself to be their leader].
And the man Moses ([was] humble *Q(K)*) very more than every person who [was] on [the] surface of the ground.
4 So immediately Yahweh spoke to Moses/me and to Aaron and Miriam. He said, “All three of you must go and stand at the Sacred Tent.” So they/we did that.
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.
5 Then Yahweh descended to the entrance of the tent in a cloud [that resembled a huge white] pillar. He told Aaron and Miriam to step forward, so they did.
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.
6 Then he said to them, “Listen to me! When a prophet is among you, I [usually] reveal myself to him by allowing him to see visions, and I speak to him in dreams.
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.
7 But that is not the way I speak to my servant Moses. I trust that he will lead my people [well].
Not thus servant my Moses in all house my [is] faithful he.
8 So I talk to him face-to-face. I speak to him (clearly/using words that he will understand easily), not using parables. He has even seen what I look like. So you should be afraid to criticize my servant Moses!”
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.
9 Yahweh was very angry with Miriam and Aaron, and he left.
And it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on them and he went.
10 When the cloud rose up from the Sacred Tent, Aaron looked at Miriam, and he saw that her skin was [as white] as snow, because she now had leprosy.
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.
11 Aaron said to Moses/me, “My master, please do not punish us for this sin that we have foolishly committed.
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.
12 Do not allow Miriam to be like a baby that is already dead when it is born, whose flesh is already half decayed!”
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.
13 So Moses/I cried out to Yahweh, saying, “God, I plead with you to heal her!”
And he cried out Moses to Yahweh saying O God please heal please her.
14 But Yahweh replied, “If her father had [rebuked her for doing something wrong by] spitting in her face, she would have been ashamed for seven days. [She should be ashamed because of what she has done]. So send her outside the camp for seven days. Then [she will not have leprosy any more, and] she may return to the camp.”
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.
15 So they sent her outside the camp for seven days. (The people/We) did not move [to another location] until she returned.
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.
16 But after [she returned], they/we left Hazeroth and moved [north] in the Paran Desert and set up their/our tents there.
And after they set out the people from Hazeroth and they encamped in [the] wilderness of Paran.
