12While they were at Hazeroth, Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married (for he had indeed married a Cushite woman);H4813H175H1696H4872H182H3571H802H3947H3947H3571H8022and they said, "Has the LORD spoken only through Moses? Has he not spoken through us also?" And the LORD heard it.H559H3068H1696H4872H1696H3068H80853Now the man Moses was very humble, more so than anyone else on the face of the earth.H376H4872H3966H6035H6035H120H6440H1274Suddenly the LORD said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, "Come out, you three, to the tent of meeting." So the three of them came out.H3068H559H6597H4872H175H4813H3318H7969H168H4150H7969H33185Then the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the entrance of the tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forward.H3068H3381H5982H6051H5975H6607H168H7121H175H4813H8147H33186And he said, "Hear my words: When there are prophets among you, I the LORD make myself known to them in visions; I speak to them in dreams.H559H8085H1697H5030H3068H3045H4759H1696H24727Not so with my servant Moses; he is entrusted with all my house.H5650H4872H539H10048With him I speak face to face—clearly, not in riddles; and he beholds the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?"H1696H6310H6310H4758H2420H8544H3068H5027H3372H1696H5650H48729And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them, and he departed.H639H3068H2734H321210When the cloud went away from over the tent, Miriam had become leprous, as white as snow. And Aaron turned towards Miriam and saw that she was leprous.H6051H5493H168H4813H6879H7950H175H6437H4813H687911Then Aaron said to Moses, "Oh, my lord, do not punish us for a sin that we have so foolishly committed.H175H559H4872H994H113H7896H2403H2973H239812Do not let her be like one stillborn, whose flesh is half consumed when it comes out of its mother's womb."H4994H4191H1320H2677H398H3318H517H735813And Moses cried to the LORD, "O God, please heal her."H4872H6817H3068H559H7495H41014But the LORD said to Moses, "If her father had but spit in her face, would she not bear her shame for seven days? Let her be shut out of the camp for seven days, and after that she may be brought in again."H3068H559H4872H1H3417H3417H6440H3637H7651H3117H5462H2351H4264H7651H3117H310H62215So Miriam was shut out of the camp for seven days; and the people did not set out on the march until Miriam had been brought in again.H4813H5462H2351H4264H7651H3117H5971H5265H4813H62216After that the people set out from Hazeroth, and camped in the wilderness of Paran.H310H5971H5265H2698H2583H4057H6290
