Chapter 12
- 12:1
- And
Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman
whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
- 12:2
- And they
said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken
also by us? And the LORD heard it.
- 12:3
- (Now the
man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of
the earth.)
- 12:4
- 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.
- 12:5
- 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.
- 12:6
- 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.
- 12:7
- My
servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
- 12:8
- 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?
- 12:9
- And the
anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.
- 12:10
- 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.
- 12:11
- 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.
- 12:12
- Let her
not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh
out of his mother's womb.
- 12:13
- And Moses
cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.
- 12:14
- 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.
- 12:15
- And
Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed
not till Miriam was brought in again.
- 12:16
- And
afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the
wilderness of Paran.
