The Murmuring of Miriam and Aaron |
|
|
 |
| Numbers 12:1 |
|
Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because
of the Cushite woman whom he had married (for he had married a Cushite woman); |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 12:2 |
|
and they said, "Has the LORD indeed spoken only
through Moses? Has He not spoken through us as well?" And the LORD heard it. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 12:3 |
|
(Now the man Moses was very humble, more than
any man who was on the face of the earth.) |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 12:4 |
|
Suddenly the LORD said to Moses and Aaron and
to Miriam, "You three come out to the tent of meeting." So the three of them came
out. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 12:5 |
|
Then the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud
and stood at the doorway of the tent, and He called Aaron and Miriam. When they
had both come forward, |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 12:6 |
|
He said, "Hear now My words: If there is a prophet
among you, I, the LORD, shall make Myself known to him in a vision. I shall speak
with him in a dream. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 12:7 |
|
"Not so, with My servant Moses, He is faithful
in all My household; |
|
|
|
| Numbers 12:8 |
|
With him I speak mouth to mouth, Even openly,
and not in dark sayings, And he beholds the form of the LORD. Why then were you
not afraid To speak against My servant, against Moses?" |
|
|
|
| Numbers 12:9 |
|
So the anger of the LORD burned against them
and He departed. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 12:10 |
|
But when the cloud had withdrawn from over the
tent, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. As Aaron turned toward Miriam,
behold, she was leprous. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 12:11 |
|
Then Aaron said to Moses, "Oh, my lord, I beg
you, do not account this sin to us, in which we have acted foolishly and in which
we have sinned. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 12:12 |
|
Oh, do not let her be like one dead, whose flesh
is half eaten away when he comes from his mother's womb!" |
|
|
|
| Numbers 12:13 |
|
Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, "O God,
heal her, I pray!" |
|
|
|
| Numbers 12:14 |
|
But the LORD said to Moses, "If her father had
but spit in her face, would she not bear her shame for seven days? Let her be
shut up for seven days outside the camp, and afterward she may be received again." |
|
|
|
| Numbers 12:15 |
|
So Miriam was shut up outside the camp for seven
days, and the people did not move on until Miriam was received again. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 12:16 |
|
Afterward, however, the people moved out from
Hazeroth and camped in the wilderness of Paran. |
