NU-12:1  And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the

Ethiopian

woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.

NU-12:2  And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by

Moses? hath he not

spoken also by us? And the LORD heard [it].

NU-12:3  (Now the man Moses [was] very meek, above all the men

which [were]

upon the face of the earth.)

NU-12:4  And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron,

and unto

Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the

congregation. And they

three came out.

NU-12:5  And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and

stood [in] the

door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they

both came forth.

NU-12:6  And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet

among you, [I]

the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, [and] will

speak unto

him in a dream.

NU-12:7  My servant Moses [is] not so, who [is] faithful in all

mine house.

NU-12:8  With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently,

and not in

dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold:

wherefore then

were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

NU-12:9  And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and

he departed.

NU-12:10  And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and,

behold, Miriam

[became] leprous, [white] as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam,

and, behold,

[she was] leprous.

NU-12:11  And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech

thee, lay not

the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we

have sinned.

NU-12:12  Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half

consumed when

he cometh out of his mother's womb.

NU-12:13  And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O

God, I

beseech thee.

NU-12:14  And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but

spit in her

face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out

from the camp

seven days, and after that let her be received in [again].

NU-12:15  And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and

the people

journeyed not till Miriam was brought in [again].

NU-12:16  And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and

pitched in the

wilderness of Paran.
