1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the
Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman. 2 And
they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by
us? And the LORD heard it. 3 (Now the man Moses was very
meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)
4 And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto
Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they
three came out. 5 And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud,
and stood in the door of the tabernacle, 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 the LORD will make myself known unto him in a
vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. 7 My servant Moses is
not so, who is faithful in all mine house. 8 With him will I
speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the
similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to
speak against my servant Moses? 9 And the anger of the LORD was
kindled against them; and he departed.
10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold,
Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon
Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. 11 And Aaron said unto
Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have
done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned. 12 Let her not be as one
dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mothers
womb. 13 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I
beseech thee. 14 And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but
spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from
the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again. 15 And
Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till
Miriam was brought in again. 16 And afterward the people
removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
