Camp Hazeroth

12Miriam and Aaron talked against Moses behind his back because of his Cushite wife (he had married a Cushite woman).H4813H175H1696H4872H182H3571H802H3947H3947H3571H802 2They said, "Is it only through Moses that GOD speaks? Doesn't he also speak through us?" GOD overheard their talk.H559H3068H1696H4872H1696H3068H8085 3Now the man Moses was a quietly humble man, more so than anyone living on Earth.H376H4872H3966H6035H6035H120H6440H127 4GOD broke in suddenly on Moses and Aaron and Miriam saying, "Come out, you three, to the Tent of Meeting." The three went out.H3068H559H6597H4872H175H4813H3318H7969H168H4150H7969H3318 5GOD descended in a Pillar of Cloud and stood at the entrance to the Tent. He called Aaron and Miriam to him. When they stepped out,H3068H3381H5982H6051H5975H6607H168H7121H175H4813H8147H3318 6he said, Listen carefully to what I'm telling you. If there is a prophet of GOD among you, I make myself known to him in visions, I speak to him in dreams.H559H8085H1697H5030H3068H3045H4759H1696H2472 7But I don't do it that way with my servant Moses; he has the run of my entire house;H5650H4872H539H1004 8I speak to him intimately, in person, in plain talk without riddles: He ponders the very form of GOD. So why did you show no reverence or respect in speaking against my servant, against Moses?H1696H6310H6310H4758H2420H8544H3068H5027H3372H1696H5650H4872 9The anger of GOD blazed out against them. And then he left.H639H3068H2734H3212 10When the Cloud moved off from the Tent, oh! Miriam had turned leprous, her skin like snow. Aaron took one look at Miriam—a leper!H6051H5493H168H4813H6879H7950H175H6437H4813H6879 11He said to Moses, "Please, my master, please don't come down so hard on us for this foolish and thoughtless sin.H175H559H4872H994H113H7896H2403H2973H2398 12Please don't make her like a stillborn baby coming out of its mother's womb with half its body decomposed."H4994H4191H1320H2677H398H3318H517H7358 13And Moses prayed to GOD: Please, God, heal her, please heal her.H4872H6817H3068H559H7495H410 14GOD answered Moses, "If her father had spat in her face, wouldn't she be ostracized for seven days? Quarantine her outside the camp for seven days. Then she can be readmitted to the camp."H3068H559H4872H1H3417H3417H6440H3637H7651H3117H5462H2351H4264H7651H3117H310H622 15So Miriam was in quarantine outside the camp for seven days. The people didn't march on until she was readmitted.H4813H5462H2351H4264H7651H3117H5971H5265H4813H622 16Only then did the people march from Hazeroth and set up camp in the Wilderness of Paran.H310H5971H5265H2698H2583H4057H6290
