1Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.Select Numbers 12:1

2They said, “Has Yahweh indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn’t he spoken also with us?” And Yahweh heard it.Select Numbers 12:2

3Now the man Moses was very humble, above all the men who were on the surface of the earth.Select Numbers 12:3

4Yahweh spoke suddenly to Moses, to Aaron, and to Miriam, “You three come out to the Tent of Meeting!” The three of them came out.Select Numbers 12:4

5Yahweh came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forward.Select Numbers 12:5

6He said, “Now hear my words. If there is a prophet among you, I, Yahweh, will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream.Select Numbers 12:6

7My servant Moses is not so. He is faithful in all my house.Select Numbers 12:7

8With him, I will speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, and not in riddles; and he shall see Yahweh’s form. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?”Select Numbers 12:8

9Yahweh’s anger was kindled against them; and he departed.Select Numbers 12:9

10The cloud departed from over the Tent; and behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. Aaron looked at Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.Select Numbers 12:10

11Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord, please don’t count this sin against us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which we have sinned.Select Numbers 12:11

12Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”Select Numbers 12:12

13Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, “Heal her, God, I beg you!”Select Numbers 12:13

14Yahweh said to Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, shouldn’t she be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut up outside of the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.”Select Numbers 12:14

15Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days, and the people didn’t travel until Miriam was brought in again.Select Numbers 12:15

16Afterward the people traveled from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.Select Numbers 12:16
