Numbers 12:4-16
4SuddenlyH6597 the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872 and AaronH175 and to MiriamH4813, “You threeH7969 comeH3318 out to the tentH168 of meetingH4150.” So the threeH7969 of them cameH3318 out. 51Then the LordH3068 cameH3381 downH3381 in a pillarH5982 of cloudH6051 and stoodH5975 at the doorwayH6607 of the tentH168, and He calledH7121 2AaronH175 and MiriamH4813. When they had bothH8147 comeH3318 forwardH3318, 6He saidH559, “HearH8085 nowH4994 My wordsH1697: IfH518 there is a prophetH5030 among you, I, the LordH3068, shall makeH3045 Myself knownH3045 to him in a 3visionH4759. I shall speakH1696 with him in a 4dreamH2472.7Not soH3651, with 5My servantH5650 MosesH4872, 6He is faithfulH539 in allH3605 My householdH1004;87With him I speakH1696 mouthH6310 to mouthH6310, Even openlyH4758, and not in darkH2420 sayingsH2420, And he beholdsH5027 8the formH8544 of the LordH3068. WhyH4069 then were you not afraidH3372 To speakH1696 against My servantH5650, against MosesH4872?”
9So the angerH639 of the LordH3068 burnedH2734 against them and 9He departedH1980. 10But when the cloudH6051 had withdrawnH5493 from overH5921 the tentH168, beholdH2009, 10MiriamH4813 was leprousH6879, as 11white as snowH7950. As AaronH175 turnedH6437 towardH413 MiriamH4813, beholdH2009, she was leprousH6879. 11Then AaronH175 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “OhH994, my lordH113, I begH994 you, 12do not accountH7896 this sinH2403 to us, in whichH834 we have actedH2973 foolishlyH2973 and in whichH834 we have sinnedH2398. 12OhH4994, do not let her be like one deadH4191, whoseH834 fleshH1320 is halfH2677 eatenH398 away when he comesH3318 from his mother’sH517 wombH7358!” 13MosesH4872 criedH6817 out to the LordH3068, sayingH559, “O GodH410, 13healH7495 her, I prayH4994!” 14But the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “If her fatherH1 had but 14spitH3417 in her faceH6440, would she not bearH3637 her shameH3637 for sevenH7651 daysH3117? Let her be shutH5462 up for sevenH7651 daysH3117 15outsideH4480H2351 the campH4264, and afterwardH310 she may be receivedH622 again.” 15So 16MiriamH4813 was shutH5462 up outsideH4480H2351 the campH4264 for sevenH7651 daysH3117, and the peopleH5971 did not moveH5265 on untilH5704 MiriamH4813 was receivedH622 again.
16AfterwardH310, however, the peopleH5971 movedH5265 out from HazerothH2698 and campedH2583 in the wildernessH4057 of ParanH6290.
