Numbers 12

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 Miriam and Aaron began to say bad things about Moses. That's because Moses had married a woman from Cush.

2 "Has the LORD spoken only through Moses?" they asked. "Hasn't he also spoken through us?" The LORD heard what they said.

3 Moses wasn't very proud at all. In fact, he had less pride than anyone else on the face of the earth.

4 The LORD spoke to Moses, Aaron and Miriam. He said, "All three of you, come out to the Tent of Meeting." So they did.

5 Then the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud. He stood at the entrance to the tent. And he told Aaron and Miriam to come to him. Both of them stepped forward.

6 Then the LORD said, "Listen to my words. "Suppose one of my prophets is among you. I make myself known to him in visions. I speak to him in dreams.

7 But that is not true of my servant Moses. He is faithful in everything he does in my house.

8 With Moses I speak face to face. I speak with him clearly. I do not speak in riddles. I let him see something of what I look like. So why were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?"

9 The anger of the LORD burned against them. And he left them.

10 When the cloud went up from above the tent, there stood Miriam. She had a disease that made her skin as white as snow. Aaron turned toward her. He saw that she had a skin disease.

11 So he said to Moses, "We have committed a very foolish sin. Please don't hold it against us.

12 Don't let Miriam be like a baby that was born dead. Don't let her look like a dead baby whose body is half eaten away."

13 So Moses cried out to the Lord. He said, "God, please heal her!"

14 The LORD answered Moses. He said, "Suppose her father had spit in her face. Then she would have been put to shame for seven days. So keep her outside the camp for seven days. After that, you can bring her back."

15 So Miriam was kept outside the camp for seven days. The people didn't move on until she was brought back.

16 After that, the people left Hazeroth. They camped in the Desert of Paran.

1 And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married, for he had married an Ethiopian woman.

2 And they said, "Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? Hath He not spoken also by us?" And the LORD heard it.

3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men who were upon the face of the earth.)

4 And the LORD spoke suddenly unto Moses and unto Aaron and unto Miriam: "Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation." And the three came out.

5 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.

6 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.

7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all Mine house.

8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold. Why then were ye not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?"

9 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 camp in the Wilderness of Paran.
