| 1. | And Miriam speaketh -- Aaron also -- against Moses concerning the circumstance of the Cushite woman whom he had taken: for a Cushite woman he had taken; |
| 2. | and they say, `Only by Moses hath Jehovah spoken? also by us hath he not spoken?` and Jehovah heareth. |
| 3. | And the man Moses is very humble, more than any of the men who are on the face of the ground. |
| 4. | And Jehovah saith suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, `Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting;` and they three come out. |
| 5. | And Jehovah cometh down in the pillar of the cloud, and standeth at the opening of the tent, and calleth Aaron and Miriam, and they come out both of them. |
| 6. | And He saith, `Hear, I pray you, My words: If your prophet is of Jehovah -- in an appearance unto him I make Myself known; in a dream I speak with him; |
| 7. | not so My servant Moses; in all My house he is stedfast; |
| 8. | mouth unto mouth I speak with him, and by an appearance, and not in riddles; and the form of Jehovah he beholdeth attentively; and wherefore have ye not been afraid to speak against My servant -- against Moses?` |
| 9. | And the anger of Jehovah burneth against them, and He goeth on, |
| 10. | and the cloud hath turned aside from off the tent, and lo, Miriam is leprous as snow; and Aaron turneth unto Miriam, and lo, leprous! |
| 11. | And Aaron saith unto Moses, `O, my lord, I pray thee, lay not upon us sin in which we have been foolish, and in which we have sinned; |
| 12. | let her not, I pray thee, be as one dead, when in his coming out from the womb of his mother -- the half of his flesh is consumed.` |
| 13. | And Moses crieth unto Jehovah, saying, `O God, I pray Thee, give, I pray Thee, healing to her.` |
| 14. | And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `And her father had but spat in her face -- is she not ashamed seven days? she is shut out seven days at the outside of the camp, and afterwards she is gathered.` |
| 15. | And Miriam is shut out at the outside of the camp seven days, and the people hath not journeyed till Miriam is gathered; |
| 16. | and afterwards have the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and they encamp in the wilderness of Paran. |
