Numbers 12

CLV^{(i) 1} then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses concerning the case of the Cushite woman whom he took (for he had taken a Cushite woman). ² They said:Is it but only through Moses that Yahweh speaks? Does He not also speak through us? And Yahweh heard. ³ Now the man Moses was exceedingly humble, more than any human who was on the surface of the ground. ⁴ Yahweh said suddenly to Moses, to Aaron and to Miriam:Come forth, you three, to the tent of appointment. And the three of them went forth. ⁵ Yahweh descended in the column of cloud and stood at the opening of the tent and called Aaron and Miriam. And the two of them went forth. ⁶ He said:Oh hear My words. If there were a prophet among you, I, Yahweh, in an appearance shall make Myself known to him; in a dream shall I speak to him. ⁷ Not so with My servant Moses. In My whole house he is faithful. ⁸ Mouth to mouth am I speaking with him, and manifestly, not in enigmas, so that he looks at a representation of Yahweh. So for what reason did you not fear to speak against My servant, against Moses? ⁹ The anger of Yahweh grew hot against them, and He went away. ¹⁰ When the cloud withdrew from above the tent, behold, Miriam was leprous as snow. Aaron turned around to Miriam, and behold, she was leprous. ¹¹ Aaron said to Moses, O! my lord, do not, I pray, set against us the sin in which we were foolish and with which we have sinned. ¹² Oh do not let her be as the dead child of which, when it comes forth from the womb of its mother, half its flesh is devoured. ¹³ Then Moses cried to Yahweh, saying:El, I pray heal her, I pray!" ¹⁴ Yahweh said to Moses:Had her father spit, yea spit in her face, would she not be put to shame seven days? She shall be locked out seven days outside the camp, and thereafter shall she be gathered in. ¹⁵ So Miriam was locked out outside the camp seven days. Yet the people did not journey until Miriam was gathered in. ¹⁶ Thereafter the people journeyed from Hazeroth and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
