Numbers 12

Good News Translation GNT

1 Moses had married a Cushite woman, and Miriam and Aaron criticized him for it.

2 They said, "Has the Lord spoken only through Moses? Hasn't he also spoken through us?" The Lord heard what they said

3 (Moses was a humble man, more humble than anyone else on earth.)

4 Suddenly the Lord said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, "I want the three of you to come out to the Tent of my presence." They went,

5 and the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud, stood at the entrance of the Tent, and called out, "Aaron! Miriam!" The two of them stepped forward,

6 and the Lord said, "Now hear what I have to say! When there are prophets among you, I reveal myself to them in visions and speak to them in dreams.

7 It is different when I speak with my servant Moses; I have put him in charge of all my people Israel.

8 So I speak to him face-to-face, clearly and not in riddles; he has even seen my form! How dare you speak against my servant Moses?"

9 The Lord was angry with them; and so as he departed

10 and the cloud left the Tent, Miriam's skin was suddenly covered with a dreaded disease and turned as white as snow. When Aaron looked at her and saw that she was covered with the disease,

11 he said to Moses, "Please, sir, do not make us suffer this punishment for our foolish sin.

12 Don't let her become like something born dead with half its flesh eaten away."

13 So Moses cried out to the Lord, "O God, heal her!"

14 The Lord answered, "If her father had spit in her face, she would have to bear her disgrace for seven days. So let her be shut out of the camp for a week, and after that she can be brought back in."

15 Miriam was shut out of the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until she was brought back in.

16 Then they left Hazeroth and set up camp in the wilderness of Paran.

1 Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.

2 They said, Has Yahweh indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn't he spoken also with us? Yahweh heard it.

3 Now the man Moses was very humble, above all the men who were on the surface of the earth.

4 Yahweh spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, Come out you three to the tent of meeting. They three came out.

5 Yahweh came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth.

6 He said, Hear now my words: if there be a prophet among you, I Yahweh will make myself known to him in a vision, I will speak with him in a dream.

7 My servant Moses is not so; he is faithful in all my house:

8 with him will I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the form of Yahweh shall he see: why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?

9 The anger of Yahweh was kindled against them; and he departed.

10 The cloud removed from over the Tent; and, behold, Miriam was leprous, as [white as] snow: and Aaron looked at Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

11 Aaron said to Moses, Oh, my lord, please don't lay sin on us, for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned.

12 Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb.

13 Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, Heal her, God, I beg you.

14 Yahweh said to Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, shouldn't she be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up outside of the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.

15 Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days: and the people didn't travel until Miriam was brought in again.

16 Afterward the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
