Chapter 12

1

AND Miryam and Aharon spoke against Mosheh because of the Kushiyth woman whom he had married: for he had married a Kushiyth woman.

2

And they said, Has Yahuah indeed spoken only by Mosheh? has he not spoken also by us? And Yahuah heard it.

3

(Now the man Mosheh was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)

4

And Yahuah spoke suddenly unto El-Mosheh, and unto El-Aharon, and unto Miryam, Come out ye three unto the Tabernacle of the assembly. And they three came out.

5

And Yahuah came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the Tabernacle, and called Aharon and Miryam: and they both came forth.

6

And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I Yahuah will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.

7

My servant Mosheh is not so, who is faithful in all my house.

8

With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of Yahuah shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Mosheh?

9

And the anger of Yahuah was kindled against them; and he departed.

10

And the cloud departed from off the Tabernacle; and, behold, Miryam became leprous, white as snow: and Aharon looked upon Miryam, and, behold, she was leprous.

11

And Aharon said unto Mosheh, Alas, my adoniy, I beseech you, 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 comes out of his mother's womb.

13

And Mosheh cried unto El-Yahuah, saying, Heal her now, O El, I beseech you.

14

And Yahuah said unto Mosheh, 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 Miryam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miryam was brought in again.

16

And afterward the people removed from Chatseroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Pa'ran.
