King James Version
Then
Miriam and Aaron criticized
Moses because of the Cushite
woman he had married ,
for he had taken
a
Cushite
wife
.
And
Miriam and Aaron spake
against
Moses because of the Ethiopian
woman whom
he had married :
for he had married
an
Ethiopian
woman
.
“Does
the LORD speak
only through
Moses? ”
they
said.
“Does
He not also speak
through
us? ”
And the LORD heard this
.
And
they
said,
Hath
the LORD indeed
spoken
only by
Moses? hath
he not spoken
also by
us? And the LORD heard it
.
Now Moses was a
very humble
man
, more
so
than
any
man
on
the face of the earth.
(
Now the
man
Moses was very meek
, above
all
the men
which
were
upon
the
face of the earth. )
And suddenly
the LORD said
to
Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “You
three,
come out to
the Tent
of Meeting.”
So
the three went
out ,
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 .
and the LORD came down in a
pillar of cloud, stood at
the entrance
to
the Tent
, and summoned
Aaron and Miriam .
When
both of
them
had
stepped
forward,
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.
He said, “
Hear now My words: If there is
a prophet among you, I ,
the LORD ,
will reveal
Myself to
him in a vision ;
I
will speak to
him in a dream.
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.
But
this
is
not
so
with
My servant Moses ;
he
is faithful in all My
house.
My servant Moses is not
so,
who
is
faithful in all mine
house.
I
speak
with him face
to face
, clearly
and not in riddles
; he
sees
the form
of the LORD .
Why
then were you
unafraid
to speak against My servant Moses? ”
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?
So
the anger of the LORD burned
against them ,
and He departed.
And
the anger of the LORD was
kindled
against them ;
and he departed.
As
the cloud lifted
from above
the Tent
, suddenly
Miriam became leprous, white as snow .
Aaron turned
toward
her
, saw
that
she was leprous ,
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 said to
Moses, “
My lord, please
do
not hold
against
us
this
sin we have so
foolishly committed
.
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
.
Please
do
not
let her be like
a
stillborn
infant
whose
flesh is half consumed when he comes
out of his mother’s
womb. ”
Let her not
be as
one
dead,
of
whom
the
flesh is half consumed when he cometh
out of his mother's
womb.
So
Moses cried out
to
the LORD, “O
God
, please
heal her !”
And
Moses cried unto
the LORD, saying
, Heal her now,
O
God,
I
beseech
thee.
But
the LORD answered
Moses, “
If her father had but spit in her face, would
she not have
been
in
disgrace
for
seven days? Let her be confined
outside
the camp for
seven days ;
after that she
may
be brought
back
in. ”
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
.
So
Miriam was confined
outside
the camp for
seven days ,
and the people did
not move
on
until
she
was brought in again.
And
Miriam was shut
out
from
the camp seven days :
and the people journeyed
not till
Miriam
was brought in again.
After
that,
the people set
out
from Hazeroth and camped
in the Wilderness of Paran.
And
afterward
the people removed
from Hazeroth ,
and pitched
in the wilderness of Paran.
