4 gSuddenly the Lord said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the tabernacle of meeting!” So the three came out. 5 hThen the Lord came down in the pillar of cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam. And they both went forward. 6 Then He said,

“Hear now My words:

If there is a prophet among you,

I, the Lord, make Myself known to him iin a vision;

I speak to him jin a dream.

7 Not so with kMy servant Moses;

lHe is faithful in all mMy house.

8 I speak with him nface to face,

Even oplainly, 3and not in 4dark sayings;

And he sees pthe form of the Lord.

Why then qwere you not afraid

To speak against My servant Moses?”

9 So the anger of the Lord was aroused against them, and He departed. 10 And when the cloud departed from above the tabernacle, rsuddenly Miriam became sleprous, as white as snow. Then Aaron turned toward Miriam, and there she was, a leper. 11 So Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord! Please tdo not lay 5this sin on us, in which we have done foolishly and in which we have sinned. 12 Please udo not let her be as one dead, whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb!”

13 So Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “Please vheal her, O God, I pray!”
