King James VersionNumbers12

Numbers

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 mother's 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.
