And Miriam and
Aaron spake against Moses because of the
Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had
married an Ethiopian woman.
02 And they said, Hath the Lord indeed
spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by
us? And the Lord heard it.
03 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above
all the men which were upon the face of the
earth.)
04 And the Lord spake suddenly unto Moses,
and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye
three unto the tabernacle of the congregation.
And they three came out.
05 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.
06 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, and will speak
unto him in a dream.
07 My servant Moses is not so, who is
faithful in all mine house.
08 With him will I speak mouth to mouth,
even apparently, 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?

09 And the anger of the Lord was kindled
against them; and he departed.
10 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.
11 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.
12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the
flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his
mother's womb.
13 And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying,
Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.
14 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.
15 And Miriam was shut out from the camp
seven days: and the people journeyed not till
Miriam was brought in again.
16 And afterward the people removed from
Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
