1
2 And Miryam and Aharon spoke against Moshe because of the Kushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Kushite woman.
2 “Has the LORD spoken only through Moses?” they asked. “Hasn’t he also spoken through us?” And the LORD heard this.
2
And they said, Hath Hashem indeed spoken only by Moshe? Hath He not spoken also by us? And Hashem heard it.
3 (Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.)
3
(Now the man Moshe was anav me’od, above all the men which were upon the face of ha’adamah.)
4 At once the LORD said to Moses, Aaron and Miriam, “Come out to the tent of meeting, all three of you.” So the three of them went out.
4
And Hashem spoke suddenly unto Moshe, and unto Aharon, and unto Miryam, Come out ye three unto the Ohel Mo’ed. And they three came out.
5 Then the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud; he stood at the entrance to the tent and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When the two of them stepped forward,
5
And Hashem came down in an Ammud Anan, and stood in the entrance of the Ohel, and He called Aharon and Miryam; and they both came forth.
6 he said, “Listen to my words: “When there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams.
6
And He said, Hear now My words: If there be a navi among you, I Hashem will reveal Myself unto him in a mar’ah (vision), and will speak unto him in a chalom.
7 But this is not true of my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house.
7
Avdi Moshe is not so, who is ne’eman (faithful) in all Mine Bais.
8 With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?”
8
With him will I speak peh el peh, plainly, and not in dark sayings; and the temuna (form) of Hashem shall he behold; why then were ye not afraid to speak against Avdi Moshe?
9 The anger of the LORD burned against them, and he left them.
9
And the anger of Hashem was kindled against them; and He departed.
10 When the cloud lifted from above the tent, Miriam’s skin was leprous —it became as white as snow. Aaron turned toward her and saw that she had a defiling skin disease,
10
And the Anan departed from off the Ohel [Mo’ed]; and, hinei, Miryam became metzora’at (leprous), white as snow: and Aharon looked upon Miryam, and, hinei, she was metzora’at.
11 and he said to Moses, “Please, my lord, I ask you not to hold against us the sin we have so foolishly committed.
11
And Aharon said unto Moshe, Alas, adoni, I beseech thee, hold not the chattat (sin) against us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
12 Do not let her be like a stillborn infant coming from its mother’s womb with its flesh half eaten away.”
12
Let her not be as one dead, of whom the basar is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb.
13 So Moses cried out to the LORD, “Please, God, heal her!”
13
And Moshe cried unto Hashem, saying, El (G-d), refah (heal) her now, I beseech thee.
14 The LORD replied to Moses, “If her father had spit in her face, would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Confine her outside the camp for seven days; after that she can be brought back.”
14
And Hashem said unto Moshe, If her av had but spit in her face, should she not be in disgrace seven days? Let her be exiled from the machaneh seven days, and after that let her be received in again.
15 So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on till she was brought back.
15
And Miryam was exiled from the machaneh seven days; and HaAm did not set out till Miryam was received in again.
16 After that, the people left Hazeroth and encamped in the Desert of Paran.
16
And afterward HaAm removed from Chatzerot, and encamped in the Midbar Paran.
