1 And Miriam * h4813 and Aaron * h175 spake * h1696 h8762 against Moses * h4872 because of * h182 the Ethiopian * h3571 woman * h802 whom he had married * h3947 h8804: for he had married * h3947 h8804 an Ethiopian * h3571 woman * h802. Ethiopian: or, Cushite married: Heb. taken
2 And they said * h559 h8799, Hath the LORD * h3068 indeed spoken * h1696 h8765 only by Moses * h4872? hath he not spoken * h1696 h8765 also by us? And the LORD * h3068 heard * h8085 h8799 it .
3 (Now the man * h376 Moses * h4872 was very * h3966 meek * h6035 h8675 * h6035, above all the men * h120 which were upon the face * h6440 of the earth * h127.)
4 And the LORD * h3068 spake * h559 h8799 suddenly * h6597 unto Moses * h4872, and unto Aaron * h175, and unto Miriam * h4813, Come out * h3318 h8798 ye three * h7969 unto the tabernacle * h168 of the congregation * h4150. And they three * h7969 came out * h3318 h8799.
5 And the LORD * h3068 came down * h3381 h8799 in the pillar * h5982 of the cloud * h6051, and stood * h5975 h8799 in the door * h6607 of the tabernacle * h168, and called * h7121 h8799 Aaron * h175 and Miriam * h4813: and they both * h8147 came forth * h3318 h8799.
6 And he said * h559 h8799, Hear * h8085 h8798 now my words * h1697: If there be a prophet * h5030 among you, I the LORD * h3068 will make myself known * h3045 h8691 unto him in a vision * h4759, and will speak * h1696 h8762 unto him in a dream * h2472.
7 My servant * h5650 Moses * h4872 is not so, who is faithful * h539 h8737 in all mine house * h1004.
8 With him will I speak * h1696 h8762 mouth * h6310 to mouth * h6310, even apparently * h4758, and not in dark speeches * h2420; and the similitude * h8544 of the LORD * h3068 shall he behold * h5027 h8686: wherefore then were ye not afraid * h3372 h8804 to speak * h1696 h8763 against my servant * h5650 Moses * h4872?
9 And the anger * h639 of the LORD * h3068 was kindled * h2734 h8799 against them; and he departed * h3212 h8799.
10 And the cloud * h6051 departed * h5493 h8804 from off the tabernacle * h168; and, behold, Miriam * h4813 became leprous * h6879 h8794, white as snow * h7950: and Aaron * h175 looked * h6437 h8799 upon Miriam * h4813, and, behold, she was leprous * h6879 h8794.
11 And Aaron * h175 said * h559 h8799 unto Moses * h4872, Alas * h994, my lord * h113, I beseech thee, lay * h7896 h8799 not the sin * h2403 upon us, wherein we have done foolishly * h2973 h8738, and wherein we have sinned * h2398 h8804.
12 Let her not be as one dead * h4994 * h4191 h8801, of whom the flesh * h1320 is half * h2677 consumed * h398 h8735 when he cometh out * h3318 h8800 of his mother's * h517 womb * h7358.
13 And Moses * h4872 cried * h6817 h8799 unto the LORD * h3068, saying * h559 h8800, Heal * h7495 h8798 her now, O God * h410, I beseech thee.
14 And the LORD * h3068 said * h559 h8799 unto Moses * h4872, If her father * h1 had but * h3417 h8800 spit * h3417 h8804 in her face * h6440, should she not be ashamed * h3637 h8735 seven * h7651 days * h3117? let her be shut * h5462 h8735 out * h2351 from the camp * h4264 seven * h7651 days * h3117, and after * h310 that let her be received * h622 h8735 in again .
15 And Miriam * h4813 was shut * h5462 h8735 out * h2351 from the camp * h4264 seven * h7651 days * h3117: and the people * h5971 journeyed * h5265 h8804 not till Miriam * h4813 was brought * h622 h8736 in again .
16 And afterward * h310 the people * h5971 removed * h5265 h8804 from Hazeroth * h2698, and pitched * h2583 h8799 in the wilderness * h4057 of Paran * h6290.
