1 A nd Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.

And Miriam speaketh -- Aaron also -- against Moses concerning the circumstance of the Cushite woman whom he had taken: for a Cushite woman he had taken;

2 A nd they said, Hath Jehovah indeed spoken only with Moses? hath he not spoken also with us? And Jehovah heard it.

and they say, `Only by Moses hath Jehovah spoken? also by us hath he not spoken?' and Jehovah heareth.

3 N ow the man Moses was very meek, above all the men that were upon the face of the earth.

And the man Moses very humble, more than any of the men who on the face of the ground.

4 A nd Jehovah spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they three came out.

And Jehovah saith suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, `Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting;' and they three come out.

5 A nd Jehovah came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth.

And Jehovah cometh down in the pillar of the cloud, and standeth at the opening of the tent, and calleth Aaron and Miriam, and they come out both of them.

6 A nd he said, Hear now my words: if there be a prophet among you, I Jehovah will make myself known unto him in a vision, I will speak with him in a dream.

And He saith, `Hear, I pray you, My words: If your prophet is of Jehovah -- in an appearance unto him I make Myself known; in a dream I speak with him;

7 M y servant Moses is not so; he is faithful in all my house:

not so My servant Moses; in all My house he stedfast;

8 w ith him will I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the form of Jehovah shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?

mouth unto mouth I speak with him, and an appearance, and not in riddles; and the form of Jehovah he beholdeth attentively; and wherefore have ye not been afraid to speak against My servant -- against Moses?'

9 A nd the anger of Jehovah was kindled against them; and he departed.

And the anger of Jehovah burneth against them, and He goeth on,

10 A nd the cloud removed from over the Tent; and, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

and the cloud hath turned aside from off the tent, and lo, Miriam leprous as snow; and Aaron turneth unto Miriam, and lo, leprous!

11 A nd Aaron said unto Moses, Oh, my lord, lay not, I pray thee, sin upon us, for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned.

And Aaron saith unto Moses, `O, my lord, I pray thee, lay not upon us sin which we have been foolish, and which we have sinned;

12 L et her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.

let her not, I pray thee, be as dead, when in his coming out from the womb of his mother -- the half of his flesh is consumed.'

13 A nd Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying, Heal her, O God, I beseech thee.

And Moses crieth unto Jehovah, saying, `O God, I pray Thee, give, I pray Thee, healing to her.'

14 A nd Jehovah said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up without the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `And her father had but spat in her face -- is she not ashamed seven days? she is shut out seven days at the outside of the camp, and afterwards she is gathered.'

15 A nd Miriam was shut up without the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

And Miriam is shut out at the outside of the camp seven days, and the people hath not journeyed till Miriam is gathered;

16 A nd afterward the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.

and afterwards have the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and they encamp in the wilderness of Paran.
