King James Version

Numbers • Chapter 12

1 And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses concerning the Cushite woman whom he had taken, for he had taken a Cushite woman. 2 And they said, "Is it only through Moses that the LORD has spoken? Has He not spoken through us also?" And the LORD heard. 3 And the man Moses was very humble, more than any man who was on the face of the earth. 4 And the LORD said suddenly to Moses and to Aaron and to Miriam, "Go out, you three, to the Tent of Meeting," and they went out, the three of them. 5 And the Lord descended in the pillar of cloud and stood at the entrance of the tent and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both came out. 6 And he said, "Listen now to my words; if there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, will make myself known to him in a vision; I will speak with him in a dream." 7 Not so is My servant Moses; he is faithful in all My house. 8 Face to face I speak with him, and he sees the form of the Lord; why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses? 9 And the LORD's anger was kindled against them, and he went away. 10 And the cloud departed from above the tent, and behold, Miriam was leprous, like snow; and Aaron turned to Miriam, and behold, she was leprous. 11 And Aaron said to Moses, "O my lord, please do not lay upon us the sin which we committed and which we have sinned." 12 Do not let it be as a dead one who goes out from his mother's womb and is eaten by half of his flesh. 13 And Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, "Please heal her now." 14 And the LORD said to Moses, "If her father had but spit in her face, would she not be ashamed for seven days? Let her be shut out of the camp for seven days, and afterward she may be received again." 15 And Miriam was shut outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not set out until Miriam was gathered in. 16 And afterward, the people traveled from Hazeroth and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
