Numbers:12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married :
for he had married an Ethiopian woman .
*
And they said ,
Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses ?
hath 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 spake suddenly unto Moses ,
and unto Aaron ,
and unto Miriam ,
Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation mow #
ed #.
And they three came out .
*
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 .
*
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 mar #
ah #,
and will speak unto him in a dream .
*
My servant Moses is not so ,
who is faithful in all mine house .
*
With him will I speak mouth to mouth ,
even apparently mar #
eh #,
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 ?
*
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them ;
and he departed .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Let her not be as one dead na #,
of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mothers womb .
*
And 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 .
*
And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days :
and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again .
*
And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth ,
and pitched in the wilderness of Paran Pa #
