CHAPTER 12 Miriam and Aaron Speak against Moses

1 And [⁴spoke ¹Miriam ²and ³Aaron] against Moses, because of the Ethiopian wife, whom Moses took, for [²an Ethiopian woman ¹he took]. 2 And they said, Has [³only to Moses ²spoken ¹the lord]? Did he not also speak to us? And the lord heard. 3 And the man Moses was [²gentle ¹exceedingly] above all the men of the ones being upon the earth. 4 And the lord said immediately to Moses, and Aaron, and Miriam, Come forth you the three into the tent of the testimony! 5 And came forth the three into the tent of the testimony. And the lord came down in a column of cloud, and it stood at the door of the tent of the testimony. And [⁴were called ¹Aaron ²and ³Miriam], and [²came forth ¹both]. 6 And he said to them, Hear my words. If there should be a prophet among you to the lord, [³in ⁴a vision ²to him ¹I will be made known], and in sleep I will speak to him. 7 Not so my attendant Moses; in [²entire ³house ¹my] he is trustworthy. 8 Mouth to mouth I will speak to him in sight, and not through enigmas; even [²the ³glory ⁴of the lord ¹he saw]. And why were you not afraid to speak ill against my attendant Moses? 9 And anger of rage of the lord was upon them, and they went forth. 10 And the cloud left from the tent. And behold, Miriam became leprous as snow. And Aaron looked upon Miriam, and behold, she was leprous. 11 And Aaron said to Moses, I beseech you, O my master, you should not join sin to us, for we knew not that we sinned. 12 Do not let her become as equal to death, as a miscarriage going forth from a womb of his mother, and it eats up half of her flesh. 13 And Moses yelled out to the lord, saying, O God, I beseech you to heal her. 14 And the lord said to Moses, If her father in spitting, spat into her face, would she not feel shame? Seven days she shall be separated outside the camp, and after this she shall enter. 15 And Miriam was separated outside the camp seven days; and the people did not lift away until Miriam was cleansed. 16 And after these things [³lifted away ¹the ²people] from Hazeroth, and they camped in the wilderness of Paran.
