Numbers 12

1 Miriam and Aaron rebelled against Moses on account of the Cushite woman that he had married.ISV — Numbers 12:1

2 They asked, “Has the LORD spoken only through Moses? Hasn’t he also spoken through us?” But the LORD heard it.ISV — Numbers 12:2

3 Now the man Moses was very humble—more than any person on earth.ISV — Numbers 12:3

4 All of a sudden, the LORD told Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “The three of you are to come out to the Tent of Meeting.” So the three of them went out.ISV — Numbers 12:4

5 Then the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud, stood at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, and summoned Aaron and Miriam. So both of them went forward.ISV — Numbers 12:5

6 Then he told the two of them: “Pay attention to what I have to say! When there is a prophet among you, won’t I, the LORD, reveal myself to him in a vision? Won’t I speak with him in a dream?ISV — Numbers 12:6

7 But that’s not how it is with my servant Moses, since he has been entrusted with my entire household!ISV — Numbers 12:7

8 I speak to him audibly ^{a12:8 Lit. mouth to mouth} and in visions, not in mysteries. ^{b12:8 Lit. dark speeches} If he can gaze at the image of the LORD, why aren’t you afraid to speak against my servant Moses?”ISV — Numbers 12:8

9 Because the LORD was very angry with them, he left,ISV — Numbers 12:9

10 but when the cloud ascended from the tent, Miriam had become leprous, as white as snow! Aaron turned toward Miriam, and she had leprosy!ISV — Numbers 12:10

11 Aaron begged Moses, “I pray my lord, please don’t hold this sin against us, since we’ve acted foolishly and sinned in doing so.ISV — Numbers 12:11

12 Please don’t let her be like one of the living dead, who is born with a congenital skin disease.” ^{c12:12 Lit. with half his skin consumed}ISV — Numbers 12:12

13 So Moses prayed to the LORD: “O LORD, please heal her.”ISV — Numbers 12:13

14 But the LORD told Moses, “If her father had merely spit in her face, wouldn’t she be humiliated? She is to be placed in isolation for seven days. After that, she may be brought in.”ISV — Numbers 12:14

15 So Miriam was isolated outside the camp for seven days and the people didn’t travel until Miriam was brought in.ISV — Numbers 12:15

16 After that, the people traveled from Hazeroth and encamped in the Wilderness of Paran.ISV — Numbers 12:16
