Numbers 12:7-16 ▼

7 Not so My servant Moses; He [is] steadfast in all My house.

8 I speak with him mouth to mouth, || Even [by] an appearance, and not in riddles; And he beholds the form of YHWH attentively. Now why have you not been afraid || To speak against My servant—against Moses?”

9 And the anger of YHWH burns against them, and He goes on,

10 and the cloud has turned aside from off the tent, and behold, Miriam [is] leprous as snow; and Aaron turns to Miriam, and behold, leprous!

11 And Aaron says to Moses, “O my lord, please do not lay [this] sin on us [in] which we have been foolish, and [in] which we have sinned;

12 please do not let her 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 cries to YHWH, saying, “O God, please give healing to her! Please!”

14 And YHWH says to Moses, “But [if] her father had but spat in her face—is she not ashamed [for] seven days? She is shut out [for] seven days at the outside of the camp, and afterward she is gathered.”

15 And Miriam is shut out at the outside of the camp [for] seven days, and the people have not journeyed until Miriam is gathered;

16 and afterward the people have journeyed from Hazeroth, and they encamp in the wilderness of Paran.
