Numbers 12

1 Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married.

And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.

2 They said, “Has Yahweh spoken only with Moses? Has he not spoken also with us?” Now Yahweh heard what they said.

And they said, Hath Jehovah indeed spoken only with Moses? hath he not spoken also with us? And Jehovah heard it.

3 Now the man Moses was very humble, humbler than anyone else on earth.

Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men that were upon the face of the earth.

4 Right away Yahweh spoke to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam: “Come out, you three, to the tent of meeting.” So the three of them went out.

And Jehovah spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they three came out.

5 Then Yahweh came down in a pillar of cloud. He stood at the entrance to the tent and called Aaron and Miriam. They both came forward.

And Jehovah came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth.

6 Yahweh said, “Now listen to my words. When a prophet of mine is with you, I will reveal myself to him in visions and speak to him in dreams.

And he said, Hear now my words: if there be a prophet among you, I Jehovah will make myself known unto him in a vision, I will speak with him in a dream.

7 My servant Moses is not like that. He is faithful in all my house.

My servant Moses is not so; he is faithful in all my house:

8 I speak to Moses directly, not with visions or riddles. He sees my form. So why are you unafraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?”

with him will I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the form of Jehovah shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?

9 Yahweh's anger burned against them, and then he left them.

And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against them; and he departed.

10 The cloud rose from over the tent, and Miriam was suddenly leprous—she was as white as snow. When Aaron turned toward Miriam, he saw that she had leprosy.

And the cloud removed from over the Tent; and, behold, Miriam was leprous, as [white as] snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

11 Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my master, please do not hold this sin against us. We have spoken foolishly, and we have sinned.

And Aaron said unto Moses, Oh, my lord, lay not, I pray thee, sin upon us, for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned.

12 Please do not let her be like a dead newborn whose flesh is half consumed when it emerges from its mother's womb.”

Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb.

13 So Moses called out to Yahweh. He said, “Please heal her, God, please.”

And Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying, Heal her, O God, I beseech thee.

14 Yahweh said to Moses, “If her father had spit in her face, she would be disgraced for seven days. Shut her outside the camp for seven days. After that bring her in again.”

And Jehovah said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up without the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.

15 So Miriam was shut outside the camp for seven days. The people did not journey until she had returned to the camp.

And Miriam was shut up without the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

16 After that, the people journeyed from Hazeroth and camped in the wilderness of Paran.

And afterward the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
