| Chapter 12 |
1 |
Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman. |
2 |
They said, Has Yahweh indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn`t he spoken also with us? Yahweh heard it. |
3 |
Now the man Moses was very humble, above all the men who were on the surface of the earth. |
4 |
Yahweh spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, Come out you three to the tent of meeting. They three came out. |
5 |
Yahweh 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 |
He said, Hear now my words: if there be a prophet among you, I Yahweh will make myself known to him in a vision, I will speak with him in a dream. |
7 |
My servant Moses is not so; he is faithful in all my house: |
8 |
with him will I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the form of Yahweh shall he see: why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses? |
9 |
The anger of Yahweh was kindled against them; and he departed. |
10 |
The cloud removed from over the Tent; and, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow: and Aaron looked at Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. |
11 |
Aaron said to Moses, Oh, my lord, please don`t lay sin on us, for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned. |
12 |
Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother`s womb. |
13 |
Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, Heal her, God, I beg you. |
14 |
Yahweh said to Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, shouldn`t she be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up outside of the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again. |
15 |
Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days: and the people didn`t travel until Miriam was brought in again. |
16 |
Afterward the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran. |
