1 And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, because of his wife, an Ethiopian, Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman. Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite.
2 and they said: “Has the Lord spoken only through Moses? Has he not also spoken similarly to us?” And when the Lord had heard this, And they said, “Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has he not spoken through us also?” And the LORD heard it. “Has the LORD spoken only through Moses?” they asked. “Hasn’t he also spoken through us?” And the LORD heard this.
3 (for Moses was a man exceedingly meek, beyond all the men who were living upon the earth) Now the man Moses was very meek, more than all people who were on the face of the earth. (Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.)
4 immediately he spoke to him, and to Aaron and Miriam, “Go out, you three only, to the tabernacle of the covenant.” And when they had gone out, And suddenly the LORD said to Moses and to Aaron and Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the tent of meeting.” And the three of them came out. At 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 the Lord descended in a column of cloud, and he stood at the entrance of the tabernacle, calling to Aaron and Miriam. And when they had advanced, And the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the entrance of the tent and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both came forward. Then 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 he said to them: “Listen to my words. If there will be among you a prophet of the Lord, I will appear to him in a vision, or I will speak to him through a dream. And he said, “Hear my words: If there is a prophet among you, I the LORD make myself known to him in a vision; I speak with him in a dream. he 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 But it is not so with my servant Moses, who is the most faithful in all my house. Not so with my servant Moses. He is faithful in all my house. But this is not true of my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house.
8 For I speak with him mouth to mouth, and plainly. And not through enigmas and figures does he perceive the Lord. Therefore, why were you not afraid to disparage my servant Moses?” With him I speak mouth to mouth, clearly, and not in riddles, and he beholds the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?” With 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 And being angry against them, he went away. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them, and he departed. The anger of the LORD burned against them, and he left them.
10 Likewise, the cloud which was over the tabernacle withdrew. And behold, Miriam appeared to be white with a leprosy, like snow. And when Aaron had looked upon her, and he had seen the spreading of the leprosy, When the cloud removed from over the tent, behold, Miriam was leprous, like snow. And Aaron turned toward Miriam, and behold, she was leprous. When 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 he said to Moses: “I beg you, my lord, not to impose upon us this sin, which we have committed foolishly. And Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord, do not punish us because we have done foolishly and have sinned. and he said to Moses, “Please, my lord, I ask you not to hold against us the sin we have so foolishly committed.
12 Do not let this one be like one who is dead, or like an abortion that has been cast from the womb of her mother. Behold, half of her flesh is already consumed by leprosy.” Let her not be as one dead, whose flesh is half eaten away when he comes out of his mother’s womb.” Do not let her be like a stillborn infant coming from its mother’s womb with its flesh half eaten away.”
13 And Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “O God, I beg you: heal her.” And Moses cried to the LORD, “O God, please heal her—please.” So Moses cried out to the LORD, “Please, God, heal her!”
14 And the Lord answered him: “If her father had spit on her face, should she not have been filled with shame for at least seven days? Let her be separated, outside the camp, for seven days, and after that, she will be called back.” But the LORD said to Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be shamed seven days? Let her be shut outside the camp seven days, and after that she may be brought in again.” The 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 And so Miriam was excluded from the camp for seven days. And the people did not move from that place, until Miriam was called back. So Miriam was shut outside the camp seven days, and the people did not set out on the march till Miriam was brought in again. So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on till she was brought back.
16 <V 13:1> And the people set out from Hazeroth, and they pitched their tents in the desert of Paran. After that the people set out from Hazeroth, and camped in the wilderness of Paran. After that, the people left Hazeroth and encamped in the Desert of Paran.
