Numbers:12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had taken ;
for he had taken an Ethiopian woman .
*
And they said ,
Has the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses ?
Has he not spoken also by us ?
And the LORD heard [
it ].
* (
Now the man Moses [
was ]
very meek ,
above all the men which [
were ]
upon the face of the earth .)
*
And the LORD spoke suddenly unto Moses and unto Aaron and unto Miriam ,
Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the testimony .
And they three came out .
*
Then 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 .
*
And he said ,
Hear now my words :
If there is a prophet among you ,
I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision [
and ]
will speak unto him in dreams .
*
My servant Moses is not so ,
who [
is ]
faithful in all my house .
*
With him I will speak mouth to mouth and by sight not by enigmas ;
he shall see the similitude of the LORD .
Why then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses ?
*
Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against them ,
and he departed .
*
And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle ,
and ,
behold ,
Miriam [
was ]
leprous as the snow ;
and Aaron looked upon Miriam ,
and ,
behold ,
she [
was ]
leprous .
*
And Aaron said unto Moses ,
Alas ,
my lord ,
I beseech thee ,
lay not the sin upon us ,
in which we have done foolishly ,
and we have sinned .
*
Let her not be as one dead ,
of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother '
s womb .
*
Then Moses cried unto the LORD ,
saying ,
Heal her now ,
O God ,
I beseech thee .
*
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 ].
*
So Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days ,
and the people did not journey until Miriam was brought in [
again ].
*
And afterward he moved the people from Hazeroth ,
and they pitched camp in the wilderness of Paran .:
