Numbers 12

Third Millennium Bible TMB

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.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Miriam and Aaron began to criticize Moses because he was married to a woman from Sudan.

2 They asked, "Did the LORD speak only through Moses? Didn't he also speak through us?" The LORD heard their complaint.

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

4 Suddenly, the LORD said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, "All three of you come to the tent of meeting." So all three of them came.

5 Then the LORD came down in the column of smoke and stood at the entrance to the tent. He called to Aaron and Miriam, and they both came forward.

6 He said, "Listen to my words: When there are prophets of the LORD among you, I make myself known to them in visions or speak to them in dreams.

7 But this is not the way I treat my servant Moses. He is the most faithful person in my household.

8 I speak with him face to face, plainly and not in riddles. He even sees the form of the LORD. Why weren't you afraid to criticize my servant Moses?"

9 The LORD was angry with them, so he left.

10 When the smoke left the tent, Miriam was covered with an infectious skin disease. She was as white as snow. Aaron turned to her and saw she was covered with the disease.

11 So he said to Moses, "Please, sir, don't punish us for this foolish sin we committed.

12 Don't let her be like a stillborn baby that's not completely developed."

13 So Moses cried to the LORD, "Please, God, heal her!"

14 The LORD replied to Moses, "If her own father had spit in her face, wouldn't she be excluded from the community for seven days? She must be put in isolation outside the camp for seven days. Then she can be brought back."

15 So Miriam was put in isolation outside the camp for seven days. The people didn't break camp until she was brought back.

16 After that, the people moved from Hazeroth and set up camp in the Desert of Paran.
