1
And Miriam[H4813] and Aaron[H175]spake[H1696] against Moses[H4872] because of[H182] the Ethiopian[H3571]woman[H802] whom he had married[H3947]: for he had married[H3947] an Ethiopian[H3571]woman[H802].
2
And they said[H559], Hath the LORD[H3068] indeed spoken[H1696] only by Moses?[H4872] hath he not spoken[H1696] also by us? And the LORD[H3068]heard[H8085] it.
3
(Now the man[H376]Moses[H4872] was very[H3966]meek[H6035], above all the men[H120] which were upon the face[H6440] of the earth[H127].)
4
And the LORD[H3068]spake[H559]suddenly[H6597] unto Moses[H4872], and unto Aaron[H175], and unto Miriam[H4813], Come out[H3318] ye three[H7969] unto the tabernacle[H168] of the congregation[H4150]. And they three[H7969] came out[H3318].
5
And the LORD[H3068] came down[H3381] in the pillar[H5982] of the cloud[H6051], and stood[H5975] in the door[H6607] of the tabernacle[H168], and called[H7121]Aaron[H175] and Miriam[H4813]: and they both[H8147] came forth[H3318].
6
And he said[H559], Hear[H8085] now my words[H1697]: If there be a prophet[H5030] among you, I the LORD[H3068] will make myself known[H3045] unto him in a vision[H4759], and will speak[H1696] unto him in a dream[H2472].
7
My servant[H5650]Moses[H4872] is not so, who is faithful[H539] in all mine house[H1004].
8
With him will I speak[H1696]mouth[H6310] to mouth[H6310], even apparently[H4758], and not in dark speeches[H2420]; and the similitude[H8544] of the LORD[H3068] shall he behold[H5027]: wherefore then were ye not afraid[H3372] to speak[H1696] against my servant[H5650]Moses?[H4872]
9
And the anger[H639] of the LORD[H3068] was kindled[H2734] against them; and he departed[H3212].
10
And the cloud[H6051]departed[H5493] from off the tabernacle[H168]; and, behold, Miriam[H4813] became leprous[H6879], white as snow[H7950]: and Aaron[H175]looked[H6437] upon Miriam[H4813], and, behold, she was leprous[H6879].
11
And Aaron[H175]said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Alas[H994], my lord[H113], I beseech thee, lay[H7896] not the sin[H2403] upon us, wherein we have done foolishly[H2973], and wherein we have sinned[H2398].
12
Let her not be as one dead[H4994], of whom the flesh[H1320] is half[H2677]consumed[H398] when he cometh out[H3318] of his mother's womb[H7358].
13
And Moses[H4872]cried[H6817] unto the LORD[H3068], saying[H559], Heal[H7495] her now, O God[H410], I beseech thee.
14
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], If her father[H1] had but[H3417]spit[H3417] in her face[H6440], should she not be ashamed[H3637]seven[H7651]days?[H3117] let her be shut[H5462]out[H2351] from the camp[H4264]seven[H7651]days[H3117], and after[H310] that let her be received[H622] in again.
15
And Miriam[H4813] was shut[H5462]out[H2351] from the camp[H4264]seven[H7651]days[H3117]: and the people[H5971]journeyed[H5265] not till Miriam[H4813] was brought[H622] in again.
16
And afterward[H310] the people[H5971]removed[H5265] from Hazeroth[H2698], and pitched[H2583] in the wilderness[H4057] of Paran[H6290].
