1.    And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the  Ethiopian woman whom he had taken; for he had taken a Cushite  as wife.
 
2.    And they said, Has Jehovah indeed spoken only to Moses? has  he not spoken also to us? And Jehovah heard it.
 
3.    But the man Moses was very meek, above all men that were  upon the face of the earth.
 
4.    Then Jehovah spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to  Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they  went out, they three.
 
5.    And Jehovah came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood  at the entrance of the tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and  they both came forth.
 
6.    And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among  you, I Jehovah will make myself known to him in a vision, I  will speak to him in a dream.
 
7.    Not so my servant Moses: he is faithful in all my house.
 
8.    Mouth to mouth do I speak to him openly, and not in  riddles; and the form of Jehovah doth he behold. Why then were  ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?
 
9.    And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against them, and he  went away;
 
10.    and the cloud departed from off the tent. And behold,  Miriam was leprous as snow; and Aaron turned toward Miriam, and  behold, she was leprous.
 
11.    Then Aaron said to Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee,  lay not this sin upon us, wherein we have been foolish, and  have sinned!
 
12.    Let her not be as one stillborn, half of whose flesh is  consumed when he comes out of his mother`s womb.
 
13.    And Moses cried to Jehovah, saying, O łGod, heal her, I  beseech thee!
 
14.    And Jehovah said to Moses, But had her father anyways spat  in her face, should she not be shamed seven days? She shall be  shut outside the camp seven days, and afterwards she shall be  received in again.
 
15.    And Miriam was shut outside the camp seven days; and the  people did not journey till Miriam was received in again.
 
16.    And afterwards the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and  encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
