| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2"Has the LORD spoken only through Moses?" they asked. "Hasn't he also spoken through us?" And the LORD heard this. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3(Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.) |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4At once the LORD said to Moses, Aaron and Miriam, "Come out to the tent of meeting, all three of you." So the three of them went out. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Then the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud; he stood at the entrance to the tent and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When the two of them stepped forward, |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6he said, "Listen to my words: "When there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7But this is not true of my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?" |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9The anger of the LORD burned against them, and he left them. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10When the cloud lifted from above the tent, Miriam's skin was leprous --it became as white as snow. Aaron turned toward her and saw that she had a defiling skin disease, |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11and he said to Moses, "Please, my lord, I ask you not to hold against us the sin we have so foolishly committed. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Do not let her be like a stillborn infant coming from its mother's womb with its flesh half eaten away." |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13So Moses cried out to the LORD, "Please, God, heal her!" |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14The LORD replied to Moses, "If her father had spit in her face, would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Confine her outside the camp for seven days; after that she can be brought back." |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on till she was brought back. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16After that, the people left Hazeroth and encamped in the Desert of Paran. |
