3
(Now the man Moses
was very meek, above all the men which
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 testimony. And they three came out.
5
Then 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 is a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision
and will speak unto him in dreams.
7
My slave Moses is not so, who
is faithful in all my house.
8
With him I will speak mouth to mouth and by sight not by enigmas; he shall see the similitude of the LORD. Why then were ye not afraid to speak against my slave Moses?
9
Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against them, and he departed.
10
And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle, and, behold, Miriam
was leprous as the 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, in which we have done foolishly, and we have sinned.
12
Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.
13
Then Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.
