Numbers
12 ... New International Version
Miriam and
Aaron Oppose
Moses
1
Miriam and
Aaron began to
talk against
Moses because
of his Cushite
wife, for he
had married a
Cushite.
2 "Has
the LORD
spoken only
through
Moses?" they
asked. "Hasn't
he also spoken
through us?"
And the LORD
heard this.
3
(Now Moses was
a very humble
man, more
humble than
anyone else on
the face of
the earth.)
4
At once the
LORD said to
Moses, Aaron
and Miriam,
"Come out to
the Tent of
Meeting, all
three of you."
So the three
of them came
out.
5 Then
the LORD came
down in a
pillar of
cloud; he
stood at the
entrance to
the Tent and
summoned Aaron
and Miriam.
When both of
them stepped
forward,
6 he
said, "Listen
to my words:
"When a
prophet of the
LORD is among
you,
I
reveal myself
to him in
visions,
I speak
to him in
dreams.
7
But this is
not true of my
servant Moses;
he is
faithful in
all my house.
8
With him I
speak face to
face,
clearly
and not in
riddles;
he sees
the form of
the LORD.
Why
then were you
not afraid
to
speak against
my servant
Moses?"
9
The anger of
the LORD
burned against
them, and he
left them.
10
When the cloud
lifted from
above the
Tent, there
stood
Miriam—leprous,
like snow.
Aaron turned
toward her and
saw that she
had leprosy;
11 and
he said to
Moses,
"Please, my
lord, do not
hold against
us the sin we
have so
foolishly
committed.
12 Do
not let her be
like a
stillborn
infant coming
from its
mother's womb
with its flesh
half eaten
away."
13
So Moses cried
out to the
LORD, "O God,
please heal
her!"
14
The LORD
replied to
Moses, "If her
father had
spit in her
face, would
she not have
been in
disgrace for
seven days?
Confine her
outside the
camp for seven
days; after
that she can
be brought
back."
15 So
Miriam was
confined
outside the
camp for seven
days, and the
people did not
move on till
she was
brought back.
16
After that,
the people
left Hazeroth
and encamped
in the Desert
of Paran.
